AIG work came home!

William brought his first AIG work home.

The first is a "pieces of me" wooden puzzle.

From left to right and top to bottom, William's pieces are:

Ollie and a drawing of Ollie
SPP (Southern Pines Primary)
AIG (the gifted program)
Ben
a soccer ball
Liam
a musical note
a drawing of his brain (LOL)
August 20
a drawing of New York Strip Steak

As part of AIG, they are learning Habits of the Mind which I am excited about as that was also expressly taught at the highly gifted school in Anchorage.

The puzzle activity focused on thinking flexibly and metacognition.....neat stuff!

The below is blurry but I thought it was super-cool. 

Liam circle in red words that described him:
-brown hair
-doing puzzles
-talking with friends
-friendly
-boy
-having a pet
-tall
-curly hair
-blue eyes
-tan (as opposed to brown)

Liam circled in blue things he enjoys doing....his list was long!
-drawing
-running
-using a computer
-dancing
-doing puzzles
-talking with friends
-arithmetic
-science
-swimming
-helping at home
-reading
-listening to music
-writing
-hula hoops
-computer games
-painting
-helping at school
-having a pet
-gardening
-collecting things
