We promote higher order thinking skills through…
• Critical thinking practice
• Creative thinking practice
• Problem solving
• Research/inquiry
• Use of technology
• Affective thinking activities
• Decision-making
• Taking on leadership roles
Our goal is to develop each child’s
cognitive ability through activities based
        on four types of thinking:
•Convergent       (looking for the interrelationships between
          clues and recognizing flaws in reasoning)

•Divergent       (listing many responses and looking for ideas
               that are original and off-beat)

   •Visual/Spatial        (focusing on memory and mental
                   manipulation of images)

   •Evaluative       (looking for more than one viewpoint,
understanding criteria, and offering a solution based on valid
                        considerations)
K-2 Themes:
  K—Exploring Thinking
  1st –Exploring Differences
      Discoveries (Abel’s Island)
  2nd—Exploring Connections
      Natural Structures (Biomimicry)/Manmade
       Structures (Walls)

Students that qualify for GT K-2 will remain
 in GT each year until the end of 2nd grade.
