GT Project Presentations

Posted Date: 12/13/2024

Capitol Elementary hosted their annual GT Presentations today with Mrs. Pam Alexander and Mrs. Barbara Utley. Second graders studied and rewrote the book "The Greedy Triangle" by Marilyn Burns into their own screenplay production. Second graders learned geometric shapes, sides, angles in their environment while also applying their math knowledge and fine arts skills to come up with their costumes. They presented their play for the parent audience. Third-graders became entrepreneurs this semester and were challenged to create their own food truck, menus, and pricing. They each had a new understanding of marketing, consumer awareness & business models. They presented the different parts of their project to the third-grade class and parents attending. And they made us all hungry! They are ready to start their own business once they get that truck! Fourth-graders followed with their study of "I Am Texas." Fourth-graders discovered their ancestors' origins and then researched that country and its culture. Each child had a different country of origin from where their grandparents, or even great-great-grandparents, came from and presented that country in museum style to parents and adults. They ended their presentations by tasting food from their country. We thank Mrs. Alexander and Utley for all the work put into helping students learn above and beyond the classroom!
