Everyday Enrichment for Gifted Children at Home and School.
Kanigher, Herbert
Intended for parents of gifted and talented children, the book provides enrichment suggestions in the areas of art, geography, reading and language, math, music, and science. It is emphasized that the activities should be relaxed and fun. Art activities include visits to see art, photography, trying various art techniques, and learning about the schools of art. Geography experiences are organized under headings such as the compass, three dimensional maps, topographical models, and planning a weekend trip. A large number of reading and language activities include sharing stories aloud, making book jackets, planning and performing a puppet show, collecting books, making a time line, and creative writing. Math projects described include kitchen mathematics, purchase of floor coverings, a bank account, the stock market, and probability. Such suggestions as learning to play a simple instrument and visiting musical performances are described in the section on music. A large section provides suggestions for science activities including plant experiments, use of a microscope, ecology, weather, machines, and space science. (DB)
