Students write quarterly goals for me on ANYTHING they want to accomplish. A student told me that he has been performing music for a real audience three times since the beginning of 4th quarter. He was so proud. Me too. @PhelpsCenter@CHSBulldogs1893#idontteachmusic

Let’s celebrate our hardworking, dedicated, caring leaders of SPS’s WINGS/Phelps Program since 1978. Yes, we are 44 years into advocating for and educating gifted students. Thank you Sara Lampe, Ron Hampton, Lenae Lazzelle & Megan Mann. @PhelpsCenter@officialSPS@GAMgifted
Today students will schedule for their freshman year. It has been a journey getting our heads around this high school transition. Spring starts the celebration of their accomplishments. Looking forward to watching them shine. @PhelpsCenter
Antisemtic text was projected on the @annefrankhouse this week. Days before my daughter and I discussed the importance of school children reading the words of the diary. She clearly understood the importance of Anne Frank’s words. These words should not be diminished.
The Scholars Apparel store closes tonight at midnight. To order check the Scholars 6-7-8 Canvas announcement or find the link in this month’s Gifted Gazette. @PhelpsCenter
The school is abuzz with activity. Archery, scholarly competitions, an assembly highlighting athletics and performances. It is wonderful to be back in the swing of school life that was muted the last few years. I love watching student talent shine. @CHSBulldogs1893@PhelpsCenter
@MattRhoads1990 I believe that we need to rebuild the community aspects of our schools. I am a mom and a teacher. I hear the parent blaming at school meetings. I hear the school blaming when waiting to get my kids after school. The lack of community has degraded trust on all sides. Kids feel it.
Keep Calm and Carry On!🦉Harry Potter STEAM Night @PhelpsCenter for Gifted Education has been rescheduled for next Thursday, February 9, 2023 4:30-6:00pm
@TechNinjaTodd My elementary kids went to school complaining that their pre-k sister got to staying home sick. When I picked them up, they were waving perfect attendance spirit sticks. I thought quietly of the likelihood the stomach bug would run through the house. Even as a parent, no control.
Schedules are due tomorrow. Parents, I have built a module of resources through Canvas. The all-important scheduling link came to your child’s canvas inbox. @CentralBulldog @PhelpsCenter
As we near the end of the semester, we are demonstrating our knowledge of Persia, Greece, Hellenism, and Rome. There will be student created memes and lots of laughter. @PhelpsCenter@CentralBulldog
As first semester winds down, I gave the students a “trick assignment” (Their words — not mine). We identified aspects of self care and stress relievers. Now they are making music playlists that will be resources to support their physical and mental health in stressful moments.
