"Promotion [in grade placement or subject matter] of
intellectually gifted children is simply another way of attempting to match the
curriculum to the child's abilities, not to accelerate those abilities.
Accordingly, the promotion of intellectually gifted children in no way
contradicts the accepted view of the limits of training on development, nor the
negative effects of hurrying. Indeed, the positive effects of promoting
intellectually gifted children provide additional evidence for the benefits of
developmentally appropriate curricula." Elkind, David (1988)

Clay Thompson Language Arts Curriculum
by Michael Clay Thompson, from Royal Fireworks
Press
 I
don't know how to explain MCT's curriculum, except to
say... gifted students, no matter where their gifts lie, need
this curriculum. I had the honor of hearing Michael speak about his
Grammar Voyage and
The Magic Lens grammar
curricula and Practice Sentence
student workbook series... and I was enthralled. Please know, I am a
math-y and a computer geek - I do not do language arts, if I can help
it. But this curriculum made grammar interesting to me!
Word Within The Word offers middle
and secondary level, vocabulary-building curriculum that is like no other.
Sentence Island, Paragraph Town
and Essay Voyage form the elementary writing curriculum. And
there's much more... investigate all the

Your 5-year-old points out from reading
the labels, that two pills of the very expensive
children's Motrin is the same dosage as a single pill of
the very cheap generic ibuprofen the rest of the family
uses. I double-checked with our doctor (who wasn't at
all surprised that Cheetah figured this out), and she's
right, it's the same dosage. "See Mom? I saved you
money!" |
|
Your 6-year-old's preferred
waiting-for-restaurant-service activity is sweetener
packet binary math. Sugars (white packets) are 0's
(because white has zero color, of course), and blue (or
pink) packets are 1's, and then I have to calculate the
binary value (she's always up to the 1024's place so
far) and see if it matches her calculation. |
|
Your 7-year-old begs for a new book,
with just Romeo and Juliet, because she can't
carry the Complete Illustrated Works of Shakespeare
volume around (about 10 pounds!). But it has
to be the original text.
So you sit on the floor of the bookstore, reviewing
different books of Romeo and Juliet with her, all
original text. First, she finds an error in one of
the books... it's missing a key word in a narrative.
She picks another, with a modern translation on the
opposite page. And that's what she buys with her
bookstore Christmas gift card...
And this is the kid who would barely read chapter books
a year ago! |
|
Your three-year-old gets a new desk, and
shyly asks if it comes "complete." "Complete?" "You
know, mom, with a computer!" |
|
Your 15-year-old follows you outside to
talk to you in private, and checks that no one else is
around, then starts jumping up and down and screeching!
Why? Because it's a few days before she leaves for
college, and she just found out that her faculty advisor
is also teaching her Calculus III course, AND doing
research on P-adic numbers systems!!!! -- Carolyn "what
kind of number systems?" K. |
|
At lunch at a semi-fast-food restaurant,
my 14-year-old commented that the new cornbread isn't as
good as the old cornbread. I pointed out that it
seems to be the same recipe, just a different shape.
That's the problem, she pointed out - it's got more
surface area but less volume than it used to. And
she proceeded to set the volumes equal, and calculate
the surface area of the old brick-shaped cornbread vs.
the surface area of the new semi-spherical cornbread...
Isn't this how all young teens spend their lunch hours??
-- again, Carolyn K. |
|
As you drive down the interstate on the
way to find a theater still playing
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy,
your husband laughs and comments, "I used to drive a
hearse (we all slept in the car) but now I'm driving a
computer center!" Let's see, there's his and my
Dells - the 10-year-old has commandeered his Dell since
he's driving - and our 14-year-old is on her new Toshiba
laptop - she's writing a DBQ for AP European History.
So far, so good, but there's going to be trouble when
the batteries run down. There's only one cigarette
lighter! |
|
Your 14-year-old gets her high school
year book, and shows it to you, commenting "You know
you're a nerd when one of your friends signs your
yearbook in 4 languages!" |
|
Your 13-year-old volunteers at her
candidate-of-choice's booth at a local polling place on
election day, and the night before, comes up with a plan
to prevent frivolous voting: She decides that there
ought to be a quiz at the polling place. Anyone can
vote, but you must give one reason why you are voting
for the candidate, and it can't be "because my
husband/wife is, " "because he's {party of choice}," or
"because the phone calls tell me I should." You need one
actual reason - he's for this, against that, will change
this... Otherwise, boot - you don't get to vote. |
|
You've been told to apply to CTY and
DITD for their YS program... confused yet? |

Did your child take the CogAT, the OLSAT
or the WISC-IV? |

Late January 2007 Thanks for your support!
Thank you for your purchases through our affiliate programs
this holiday season. We appreciate your support!
Affiliates (those colorful links on the left of each page) charge you the
same prices for their great gifted-friendly products, and give a few cents back
to Hoagies' Gifted Education Page for linking them to you. Affiliates $
were down slightly in 2006, while costs are up, so please continue to use the
affiliate links on Hoagies' pages before you make your purchases at Amazon,
MindWare, and all our other affiliates programs. Thanks!
January 2007 Hoagies' Page needs YOU!
Hoagies' Gifted Education Page is
supported by YOU, and you alone. All expenses come from the
pennies we receive thanks to your affiliates purchases. But
even though Internet shopping is way up this year, Hoagies' Page
affiliates $ are way down... Please remember to click on
Hoagies' Page first, then click our Amazon link, before you put any
items in your shopping cart. I can't do it without YOU!

Hoagies' Gifted Education Page is a labor of love. However, Hoagies' Page
depends on you for funding of physical costs: domains, software, hardware,
link-check services, etc. If you like the resources of Hoagies'
Gifted Education Page, and want to continue to see new topics, new links, new
articles and new research... please click on any our affiliate links (left)
before
you do your holiday shopping. It costs you nothing, and each affiliate
store gives a small percent of your purchase total back to Hoagies' Page.
Thank you -- Carolyn K.
