Welcome to our 1st, 3rd and 5th grade Gifted and Scholastic Academy classes! My name is Mrs. Carol Babb and I have enjoyed teaching gifted and high achieving students since 1986. This year we will be having gifted enrichment classes that focus on higher order thinking skills. I have enrichment units planned that promote creative and critical thinking skills as well as problem solving skills. These units might include famous artists and genres of artistic expression, writing, egg drop and robotics competitions. We might focus on alternative energy sources or write our own mysteries. What do you want to learn more about? Please let me know and we can make a plan! At the bottom of the page are some of my favorite websites for you to explore. Directly below is a photograph gallery of wonderful gifted and Scholastic Academy students from all the years I have taught at Cedarcrest - enjoy!
