cavey Hello everyone! I have been mostly a lurker for the last 10 years or so. This board was my first exposure to Tnet when I fell into gifted ed back then. It is good to see you here, Uni and Bill too! I do remember the Mim, Melanie, ( and alas Theresa) days and miss all the wonderful info I got here.

I teach GT Lang Arts to fifth and sixth graders at elem. We switch every day, so I have my kids every day as their LA teacher. I get them for 2 hours. I also do pull outs for little ones and testing for our school.

It's nice to see everyone checking in!

Melanie I still check in from time to time. I haven't seen Mim. Emmy P. posted last year some time, I think. What are you all teaching now? I'm still in elementary gifted but working on an ed. specialist in administration
