Some Reflections from the School Year
Posted by JShoemaker in Social Media, Students on January 14, 2015
Mrs. Rigali and her 3rd and 4th grade classes dissected a squid this past November. Her students studied an Ocean theme this year, with the culminating project as the dissection of the squid. They were fortunate to have the Lima News come and check out their class. Check out the news cast here.
Mrs. Markely also did a similar ocean themed unit with her 5th and 6th grade classes. Her classes studied sea creatures and compared their organs and body systems to humans. They dissected dog sharks. Here are a few pictures from that day back in November.
Both of these activities were done with a grant from the Lima Area Retired Teachers Association.
The Annual Ohio Association for Gifted Children

There will be no Enrichment classes on October 13th and 14th due to all three Gifted Intervention Specialists at the Annual conference. Classes will resume on Wednesday October 15.
If you are interested in coming down to the conference which is held in Columbus, Ohio, the OAGC does have a Parent Day. You can see the information about the day by clicking here. It is only $5 to attend, and it is a great way to meet other parents of gifted children. They usually have very good speakers that speak on topics that will appeal to parents. If you can make it I would highly recommend attending.
If you cannot attend the conference, you can still be connected with the following info:

Have you seen the new commercials for the Lima City Schools? If you haven’t, well they are awesome.
You may not know that several of the students in those videos are students who currently or in the past, participated in our Gifted Program. Jeremiah Dew, a current Enrichment student, Cassie Bicknell and Rashad Butler, past Enrichment students all had a prominent roles in the commercials that are airing on television and radio.
