Our gifted education group, Columbia Falls ACT (Advocates for Children with Talent) will be starting up meetings again in September. We want to hit the ground running (love that analogy) so we are tentatively planning our first meeting on Friday, September 26. We will try to stick with the 4th Friday of each month for meetings.
To keep things simple, we will have a "book group" format again for the year, but we will only do one or two chapters each month from the same book. We are really trying a highly modified version of a SENG Model Parent Group (which usually meets every week for 10 weeks and does one chapter in the book per week). This way, we won't put so much pressure on everyone's schedules or budgets. If you are interested, the text we use is fantastic. It is called, A Parents Guide to Gifted Children, by James T. Webb and others.
Mary Ellen Getts has the books already and you can purchase them directly from her. Easy peasy. Post a comment if you would like to reserve a copy.
