Does anyone have any ideas for a unit of study for elementary gifted (2nd grade, 3rd grade, or fourth). We use the pullout model.

LOVE This! I wanted something new to add to my classroom experience and this is it!
Thank you

Try the College of William and Mary, they have units for different subjects and grade levels. Hope that helps you.

Why not do research on their interest. Have them do a vague citation or just get the citation information. They could present using something's fun tech like a video or comic strip.

Which subject area?

I am the gifted resource teacher at a Georgia elementary school. I expand the regular curriculum with research and projects. I also teach foreign languages (Spanish to K-2 and Latin to 3-5, and no, I didn’t take either in school). We also do plays (lots of ELA standards here), and logic puzzles. If your school uses ILearn, the students can work at their own math levels and advance at their own pace.

4th grade examples-the colonies: we research how children spent their days, cook cornmeal flapjacks and make homemade butter; westward expansion: we play the “old school” MECC Oregon Trail and they have to do some research along the way to make informed decisions along the trail.

What's a rule you are expected to enforce that you strongly disagree with or are indifferent to. Do you enforce it or take the risk? I move around as a tutor and am currently working with a school that has a ridiculously strict formal address policy. One of my second graders refers to me as "Miss Tutoring (my first name)" - it's about the cutest thing ever and doesn't bother me one bit. We are moderated sometimes and I'm more worried about her getting in trouble than me for not abiding.
