Quick! Name something that is made of metal. Or... What is something that has holes in it? In this class, students are challenged with spontaneous verbal problems like those listed above. The teacher will pose a question category (like things are sticky), and the students will think on their feet to provide answers when it is their turn. Each child will have an opportunity to respond to each question category, and the students must be good listeners so they don't repeat an answer that has already been given by a classmate. Students will think about a variety of topics in this fast paced class. This is an extended version of Gifted and Talented Enrichment: Verbal Challenges- Mini Edition, but instead of meeting for 20 minutes, this class meets for 40 minutes.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have my Master of Arts in Teaching from Trinity University in San Antonio, TX. While in college, I had a part time job teaching art to children. After graduating, I got hired on as a fourth grade teacher, but I've been a GT (gifted and talented) pull out teacher at the elementary level for the last 14 years, and I love what I do. I enjoy teaching all subjects in a manner that challenges bright and gifted students. I engage students with a problem, puzzle, or mystery and let the students use inquiry and teamwork to solve it. I aspire to be a "guide on the side" instead of a "sage on the stage" and allow students to take charge of their learning. I find that when students make their own discoveries, the lessons are more meaningful to them. Students take pride in their work when they mentally sweat to complete it. I am inspired by students who come up with solutions to problems that I had not even considered, and in order for students to do this, they need some freedom to explore and create. I provide the students the tools they need to be successful, but I let them build. Reviews
