SLIME – Simple Lessons to Increase Mental Engagement
Amy August 19, 2026
Speaker: Heather Schultz
In this class, be prepared to be SLIMED! We will learn and try 5 Simple Activities that Increase the Mental Engagement of Highly Capable Brains. (Well, all brains!) These activities are possible anywhere, and anytime. I have selected these activities because they are tried and true in my setting. The are highly adaptable across curriculum and can be used with any age. They specifically address these 5 attributes of Gifted Learners. Gifted learners avoid taking a risk; quit when things become challenging; need something interesting to chew on; have a unique perspective and often struggle with perfectionism. Come and be SLIMED!
Although not required, it would be very handy if attendees could each have a PIPE CLEANER before attending this class.
