The gifted resource program is alive and well at Plaza. The aim is to induce logical thinking, strategic reasoning, estimation, mental arithmetic, and genuine problem solving. The second grade clusters have recently completed a poetry unit and are currently exploring Native American cultures and history. I am quite pleased with the positive responses I get from students who are introduced to new and thought provoking assignments. Mrs. Patterson Plaza Elementary has a beautiful new computer lab where the students explore and learn about the amazing growth of technology in the world today.
Students learn to make multimedia presentations, spreadsheets and graphic designs.
They study the parts of a computer, dissect floppy disks, learn backup procedures, and much more.
