what a brain

In this school district there is a program called PACE, identified gifted students in grades K-5. Mason does very well in school. He has very good grades. When they wanted to test him for the PACE program last year I was a little surprised. Not that he's not smart enough, the student also needs to think "out of the box". I didn't think Mason did. In 2nd-5th grade it is a pull out class, once a week. He is not self motivated like Karlee was in this program so we do little steps all week in order get his assignment done. There isn't a grade for the class. But the students receive PACE bucks to buy from the store, possibly a better motivator.

Last week in class he learned about the brain and how it works, which he thought was soo cool that the brain stem is connected to the spine. His assignment was to make a model with 5 parts of the brain labeled. This is where Brian steps in. He is more creative...he thinks "out of the box" often.
They had lots of fun making this brain. Even Carson got involved.

Great job Mason!! What a great brain you have!! :0)
