Challenge Chatter

I have finally found a website where the students can discuss topics/books/ideas safely.  Follow this link to Challenge Chatter, where you will register.  You do not have to have an e-mail address to do this.  Once registered, I will need to approve you to join in on the discussion.  I have started a topic to see when everyone is registered.  I am planning on doing book reviews and idea starters.  Hope to see you soon.

Information from Vanderbilt for Parents of Gifted children:

This spring, PTY will offer a special group for parents of highly gifted children, those with IQ scores of approximately 140 or higher. This group will meet four consecutive Saturdays, January 28- February 18, corresponding with weeks two through five of Spring SAVY.  Any parent of a highly gifted child is welcome to participate in this group; enrollment in SAVY is not a requirement.
