I have none.Nonenone.Nop no probles.I don`t have any issues.I think we should have recess.We should get more robotsI think there is nothing wrong with gifted .I do not have specific concerns, comments, or suggestions for the improvement of the gifted program.I can not find any flaws in the gifted program besides that we didn't get to go to sea-perch this year but that was due to there scheduling not the program or school.My concern is that I usually am behind in my notes when I go to gifted and sometimes I miss my test and I have to do make up work and all I want to do is finish all my work and get good grades on my assignments and also sometimes my class learns something I don't know and then I have to learn it by my self.we could have more time on lessons because sometimes we go to fast and I get confused.increase the amount of hours we go to gifted. it makes me make up so many progects. mrs.matheson , mrs.furr , and mrs. murphy are the main ones doing this.

I think we should have a bigger budget for our classroom.I think that there should be more robot exploration, ours is very limited. I am really interested in robots, also Mrs. Furr makes us complete all of the missed work, like the interactive notebooks work and the writing parts we missed, like graphic organizers and the rough drafts and i'm kind've fed up with it, its very tedious and then we are all one day behind, while the other students are writing there final copy, we are sitting there thinking of what to put in the graphic organizer...The gifted program needs to uses speaking, communication skills more often. Also, Mrs. Furr keeps making us do make up work, she makes us do interactive notebook, classwork, and if its too late to turn in i get a bad grade or a "F". Then I'm behind everyone.I believe that we should be allowed to have recess when it is snack day. It will give us time to eat the snack that we purchace.Some times Ms.Furr makes us do assignments other than quizes or tests after gifted like regular classwork and when the students tell her that we were in gifted she still makes us do the work.The only thing that I would like to change is that Mrs. Furr makes us make up everything that we miss that day of her class .Also, she says interactive notebook is due and we haven't even done that page. I am missing two pages in my book because she never lets us get the example book.If the work is not done she gives us marks and we have to walk for recess and we get a zero in the grade book.I think the gifted class room causes stress, keeping up with class work, making up tests, like all the 5th and 6th grade teachers are making us make up work. Like i understand we need to take up tests but having to make up something not for a grade but for something for sub work, it is very annoying having to make up sub work that isn't even a grade. Now we should have recess even though there isn't gonna work. I also think that we should be able to have a longer times to do class work than the regular due date in regular classes such as tests, class work that they take up for a grade because I had a bad grade on my progress report I had about six fifties on my report card and I got a d in my math class . So honestly I feel it necessary to have all these changes minus the recess, recess is optional but I think that will make kids stick with gifted.I want the stuff to be less stressful.The gifted program can let the main gifted teachers to have assistants. Also I have seen multiple gifted students take charge of groups when we're doing group projects and others leave for this reason, this concerns me because alot of the people that have left were doing really good in gifted and they are now missing out on the more challenging and fun stuff in gifted.
