Second grade students in Pass Christian Elementary School's explore gifted class ran Halloween-themed experiments in their classroom on Oct. 31, in front of students from pre-K through second grade, family members and school staff.
The presentations paired experiments with public speaking and performance practice. It marked the class's first public speaking and performing arts presentation, according to the school.
Gifted Education Teacher Jane Bunn said the event brought together skills the program teaches during the year. "I was so proud to see them be able to perform in front of their peers," Bunn said. "In the gifted program, we work on research, communication skills, teamwork, and seeing them putting all the pieces of that together and being able to perform in front of students, their peers, and parents is a very proud moment."
Bunn said the students were "taking all those skills that we work on in the gifted program and they're putting it all together." The audience included children in pre-K through second grade, along with family members and school staff, gathered to watch the presentations.
Pass Christian Elementary School serves students in Pass Christian, Mississippi. The school's explore gifted class completed research on its experiments before presenting the material, Bunn said.
