  1. My ideal Gifted and Talented classroom is a room filled with books, fun, and many things to do. It would also be very colorful and give a feeling of comfort. I would love it if it could have a pet. I would love the class to go along with the room. I hope the room will be quiet but noisy. It would be full but empty. It would be a great place to learn as we would have no limitations. We could share our interests without being judged. We can make beautiful entrances. We aren’t scared to say our true feelings, unless they hurt someone else. The room I want is peaceful but in complete chaos. It is fun yet serious. We all love it.
    That room is the best place to challenge your brain. You learn many things that will help you outside of the classroom. The lively appearance will give happiness and joy to the students inhabiting it. Other than that, the room doesn’t matter to me. The class and amount of work matters. The good or bad vibes matter. RAPPING IN FRONT OF THE CLASS DOES matter! But other than the classroom, what I would want to know is what we will be doing this year. I saw on the pre- test there were some questions about the brain and parts of the brain. Will we leans about the human body this year? If so, my mother is in a massage business and knows the muscles and parts of the body very well.
    Another question is do you guys think the bus ride quality is good? I personally think the quality of the ride is horrible. The children should all learn how to mind their mouths. They curse so much you would think it was a rap song. It’s not only the eighth graders who curse! There are also so many sixth graders, too. It’s honestly very sad… Moving on! What kind of music are you listening to? I am listening to Russian roulette. I think it is a very good song. Another good song is Partners in Crime. I love how it’s a love story of two criminals.
    Again…. MOVING ON! Are any of you nailoholics? I love nails and nail polish! What do I love about nails and nail polish? I love how it is so shiny and gives the illusion of more feminine and elongated nails. It also makes me feel graceful like a ballerina. I know we need a minimum of 500 words, but if our writing is really good, will it count as extra words? I mean I will just keep blabbing on and on and on until I have 500+ words… It is really hard to write a good writing piece with this amount of words… I really hope I don’t have much homework this weekend. What class is your favorite? My favorite class is ELA with Ms. Reckhow.
    To be honest, I am a cat. I think cat, dress cat, even act cat! (By the way after the word “word” there will be 512 words in this writing piece…) Honestly, aren’t we all a little bit crazy? Surprisingly, I’m not a big fan of Hello Kitty. Well, I’m signing out in about 4 more words so bye!

  2. In my ideal gnt classroom it would not be a quiet class. It would be mass chaos most of the time. I mean you would expect that from me because i'm a little crazy. But the kids in the class would be good and listen though because well, they are smart. The kids would be the smartest kids in the world. Most of the kids would be bibliophiles and would read a lot of books and good books.

    Every class we would have rap battles and they would be great raps. As good as the ones in Hamilton. The raps would be about how awesome gnt is. Because my gnt class is the best class in the world. I mean what other classroom raps? Except for Mrs. Reckhows class but, she only raps sometimes. This class also has the most books out of any classroom and library in the U.S.A. Instead of chairs we have bungee chairs and bean bag chairs. The tables are low to the ground so we can reach it. We would be as creative as we can (especially with the rapping). We are allowed to eat and chew gum in the class.

    The classroom would be really large and have lots of artists and authors on the wall. There would be bright colors and the floor would be so colorful and carpet. The artists will be the very best and the authors posters will be signed. All the tables will have quotes from famous people on them and who they are by. We would not have to write 500+ words we would only have to write 300+ words because it's really hard to write that many words with this topic or any topic really. But in my classroom the teacher would be the nicest teacher ever. Aso we would have gnt more often because its so fun.

    A few other aspects about my classroom would be we would read a lot because reading is good for your brain and it's fun. Other than reading we would listen to the Hamilton soundtrack and learn a lot about Hamilton. We would also write so many writing topics about random things that the teacher comes up with at the top of her head. The teacher would be a great writer and loves to read especially mysteries and fiction. During class we would also be allowed to use our phones and listen to music. So back to the rap battles we would be given a topic to rap about like cheese. I like to eat cheese and I will do as I please is an example. Just saying i am good at writing raps. Also in gnt we would play games and have so much fun not that it isn't already fun.

    As you can see my gnt class would be fun, educational, and musical. We would have the best books and the best teacher. The biggest classroom would be ours. Now i'm just ranting because i hit 500 words on hit. Well that is my ideal gnt classroom. PEACE :)

  4. My ideal G&T classroom has a ton of books and activities to do. It’s very colorful and bright. The people in it are the same way, crazy and outgoing. A quiet classroom would be very boring, I don’t want that. We would also often go on field trips to places and things related to what we talk about in class. For example if we talk about the American Revolution we could go see Hamilton on Broadway in NYC. If we were talking about art we could go to a museum. I also would think it would be really cool if we studied more engineering and science. I really enjoy doing different stuff with mathematics and patterns then we do in our normal math and science classes.. I love STEAM subjects. Especially the art, math, and engineering..
         I would really like it to be different than a normal classroom, For example if we would be able to have drinks other than water and have candy. Sometimes people buy a drink from the cafeteria and have to throw it away because of these rules and candy is delicious so why not? I would want to have gum allowed in the class. We promise that we will not stick gum under our desks. If you did do that, everyone in the world would want to be in your classroom.
        Technology would be an amazing tool for us to use in the classroom. It would be really cool if we used google classrooms like some other classes. I think it would provide a great opportunity for new experiences. I love making Slides in school and then putting on a presentation for our class.
         I also love having such a small class. Having a class on the smaller side is better for the students and sometimes it even benefits the teachers. It can benefit us because we will be more connected with our teacher and other students. It would be easier to do group projects because of how little people their are..
        The chairs would be bungee cord chairs and bean bags. The tables and desks also would be lowered to the heights of all the cool, new chairs. It would be so awesome if we had those amazing chairs and desks.
        We should also have daily rap battles. Doing rap battles can really help with things like rhyming skills and learning rhythm. We could rap about what we are learning. I can bet you even if we learn about Alexander Hamilton, nothing can beat Lin-Manuel Miranda’s AWESOME rapping skills. I mean the guy made a hit Broadway musical!
        I'd also want to learn about different stuff about our brains and how they react to music and if the kind makes any difference in intelligence, memory or if it has no effect on us at all. Maybe we could learn about what chemicals get released in our brains when we listen to music or do something we love!
        That is what my ideal Gifted and Talented classroom would be like! Would you like to be in my class?

  5. My ideal G&T classroom is fun and quiet. It is a humongous room, filled with books and computers to research any topic! It is a get away from other boring classrooms. On one side of the room there is a beach, with a perfect wind and nice ocean breeze. In another, there is a full replica of Edison's lab/workshop. In the other, a full factory producing fancy computers for the most fancy of research! In the other corner, a Tardis, waiting to take us to an ideal destination of any time and any place! Want to go to ancient greek? Beep- Bop Bloop Bleep, CHHSHSHCS. PAPOW! ACIENT GREEK! DO you want to go to the first Christmas? Blippity Blip, PAPOW! Christmas! The First hover car? Well, you get the point!
    And the tables! Oh the tables! The tables soar 53 feet and 7¾ inches into the air! We hold periscopes to view the papers! The chairs are swings that can do flips and swerves and hard turns and fly into the air! The walls have paint splatters that we can splatter and take out our anger on the wall! The wall will also be very soundproof, so know more Jurassic Park music making its way into the classroom!
    Oh, the best part is that there is an all you can eat sushi bar! California Rolls! Spicy Tuna Rolls! Maki Maki Rolls! Shrimp Tempura! Salmon! Tuna! You name, you eat it!
    On the other side there is a food court where you can eat your sushi! Ge-knee-us! (genius!) Then for any non sushi lovers, there is a little table in the corner. Just kidding! There is a sandwich bar, breakfast bar, steak bar, omelet bar! And type of buffet, its there! And once you finish your meal, there is a napping area because your stuffed and tired. There are 15 king sized beds for napping, warm milk, double chunk cookies, and grandmas hand made knit blanket, stitched with love. <3 ;). And of course, what is a G&T classroom without a Virtual Reality Set! But, why have 1, when you can have 18! (Jessica if you are reading this please bring in your VR. But, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ whatever.) And, on the ceiling there are bungee cords that let us free fall through the class! Oh, yeah, the ceiling is like 200 feet tall!
    Oh yeah, the learning part! In the back of the class, there is a garage that holds the new and improved...drum roll please! Badum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum
    ching! The Even More Magical School Bus! It has been improved by Doc Brown himself! This 6 wheeled yellow brick has even more magic! It can go anywhere, anytime! But the absolute best part of the room? The welcome mat! It tells me what an interesting day is ahead of us! No matter what we are doing, taking a 27 page test, or studying live frogs. That welcome mat tells me everything. And that is my idea for the ideal G&T classroom!
