Monday, September 16--Parenting your Gifted Child with Aisha Hasan (Region 8 Representative)
Parenting gifted children can be challenging, but new research shows that environments focused on strengths and talents are helping students to thrive. But what does that mean? We’ll discuss what strengths-based means, how it can change your parenting, and ways to shift into a strengths-based mindset.

Math Competitions
The Gifted Department supports students with three math competitions: AMC 8 & 10, Mathcounts, and Math League. There is a cost to compete: generally between $15-$40 per competition.
AMC (American Math Competition)--A test done at school. https://maa.org/student-programs/amc/. ALL STUDENTS
Mathcounts--Team event at a local location generally late winter. Four events per competition. https://www.mathcounts.org/programs/mathcounts-competition-series. MIDDLE SCHOOL ONLY
Math League--Team event at a local location generally late winter. Four events per competition. https://www.mathleague.org/. ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOLS
Both Mathcounts and Math League do better if they have a coach. If you're interested in coaching or your child is interested in competing, please email me with the name of the competition and your child's name. (tracybednarick@lindberghschools.ws). We have an elementary Math League coach, but need a middle school Math League/Math Counts coach.
Co-pilots
The following students were recognized as co-pilots for the first three weeks of school. All students received a certificate and a co-pilot bracelet. Additionally, they will be entered into a drawing at the end of the month for a bigger prize or special activity. If you're interested in donating a gift card or prize ($10-$15 value) for our drawings, please let me know. The co-pilot program is open to all elementary Idea Center students (PEGS & LEAP)!
