I think therefore I am....
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
I think therefore i am
Rene Descartes was a French philosopher who doubted all things possible to doubt, which led him to conclude that by doubting his own existence, he proved he must exist. He is known for the quote "I think therefore I am", meaning we are thinking beings and this proves our existence. Fifth grade gifted students studied Descartes and his most famous quote, then illustrated whether they agreed with his philosophy or not.
I Think Therefore I Am 我思故我在
The document appears to be a log of music and images shared between users in different countries including India, Czech, Iran, California, Poland, France, and Morocco. Many of the entries are repeated phrases like "I think therefore I am" in Chinese and English or the question "What are we thinking?". The document seems to catalog a diverse collection of cultural content shared internationally.

The document describes two Australian animals, the Rusa deer and the Quokka, and hypothetically combines their characteristics to create a new animal called a "Rokka". The Rusa eats plants and grass, has the species Timorensis, and is a type of deer. The Quokka has gray-brown fur, eats leaves and grass, and has the species brachyurs. If a Rusa and Quokka were crossed, their offspring would have the gray fur and short features of both animals.

The document describes two Australian animals, the long-nosed potoroo and the red fox. It then imagines what a hybrid "fotoroo" creature would be like if the potoroo and fox were crossed. A fotoroo would live in forests, hop like a kangaroo, and run as fast as a dog. The potoroo eats roots, fungi and insects in eucalyptus forests, stands 34-38cm tall, and hops like a kangaroo. The red fox lives in various habitats including forests and farmland, is 83-110cm long and weighs 3-7kg, eats small mammals and birds, and is red in color.

It suggests the reader reflect on which approach best describes how they see themselves and their relationship to knowledge.
The pythagorean theorem
The document discusses a 5th grade gifted class' study of Pythagoras and the Pythagorean theorem. The students learned about Pythagoras' life and accomplishments.

A child imagines what an animal mix between a bottlenose dolphin and dingo would look like. A bottlenose dolphin has a short rounded snout, lives in warm oceans and seas, and has a non-white belly. Dingoes come in golden yellow or black and tan colors depending on their sandy or forest habitat. The imagined bottlenose dingo would have a non-white belly, be found swimming in warm waters, and also live in sandy areas, eating a variety of plants and insects.
Free will
Thomas Hobbes believed that our will is caused by actions we are often unaware of, and that there is no free will as we are causally determined to make the choices we select. According to Hobbes, free will does not exist. The following slides show 5th grade gifted students' cartoons interpreting Hobbes' complex views on free will.

Frog cinquain
This document contains 5 frog cinquains written by first grade gifted and talented students. The cinquains describe frogs as being green, slimy, lumpy creatures that hop, leap, swim and jump. They have long tongues and live in ponds where they splash, eat flies, and sing or ribbit noisily.
Six hat thinking!
The PTA was considering putting a Ferris wheel on the playground and used Six Hat thinking to discuss the idea. The Black Hat asked about problems with the idea, the White Hat provided facts, the Yellow Hat discussed potential benefits, the Green Hat suggested new ideas, the Blue Hat analyzed the thinking process, and the Red Hat shared feelings about the proposal.
Friendship is like 2012
The document compares friendship to various objects through similes to convey how friendship works together, provides comfort when alone, and makes people feel happy like a mother's comfort. Friendship is likened to playing a game together, a soft pillow, a picture, the sun and moon orbiting together, a puzzle with pieces working as a whole, a stuffed animal, and a pair of socks that stay together.
Descartes
Rene Descartes used radical skepticism and doubt to question all beliefs and knowledge in an attempt to find absolute certainty. Through his method of doubt, the only thing he could be certain of was his own thinking expressed as "I think, therefore I am". This led Descartes to propose a dualist view of reality where the mind and body are separate. He believed that the essence of human beings is as thinking things, not physical things.

4th grade 2013: 1st day Assignment
1. Students were asked to arrange words from a quote without seeing the full text and reflect on its meaning.
2. The quote is from Albert Einstein stating that all science and art begin with questions, and students gave examples of scientific discoveries and works of art that began as questions.
3. Students then scanned a QR code to see the full Einstein quote, discussed its meaning, and wrote down their understanding of the "Big Idea" Einstein was conveying about the role of questions.
Values
The document contains responses from Macy, Lauren, and Justin providing examples of positive character traits. Some of the traits discussed include being modest, enjoying personal liberties and choices, having curiosity to learn, being generous through donations, demonstrating faithfulness and loyalty, being flexible, and being reliable.
Blizzards!
Snowstorms that bring strong winds and heavy snowfall are called blizzards. First grade gifted and talented students conducted research on blizzards in the 2012-2013 school year. Their research project focused on learning key facts about these major winter storms.
Beauty in the mysterious
Albert Einstein said that the most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious, which is the source of all true art and science.

Australia animal mixup
This document describes Australian animals - the dingo, koala, and a fictional hybrid called a "kingo". It notes that dingos are medium-sized, meat-eating dogs that don't bark and live in sandy areas. Koalas are unique animals that sleep most of the day, live in groups, and eat only eucalyptus leaves. The document imagines that if a dingo and koala were crossed, the resulting "kingo" would be a medium-sized, omnivorous animal that can run fast, climb trees, and has gray and yellow fur.
Worlds tiniest animals
Cheyane presented on the smallest animals in the world including the Pygmy Snake which grows less than 4 inches long, the Pygmy Marmoset which is the smallest monkey and grows 14-16 cm long, and the Tiniest Frog which grows only 7.7 mm long. Other tiny creatures discussed were the Brookesia Micra chameleon at 24 mm long, the Bee Hummingbird at 5 cm long, and the Irukandji jellyfish which grows to be 1 cubic cm in size. The smallest seahorse and kitty as well as the dwarf miniature horse were also mentioned.

Cell research
The document discusses the results of a study on the effects of exercise on memory and thinking abilities in older adults. The study found that regular exercise can help reduce the decline in thinking abilities that often occurs with age. Older adults who exercised regularly performed better on cognitive tests and brain scans showed they had greater activity in important areas for memory and learning compared to less active peers.
The Pythagorean Theorem
The document discusses a 5th grade gifted class studying the Pythagorean Theorem. The students learned about the early philosopher Pythagoras, researching his life and accomplishments. They worked in groups to find the "Big Idea, Details, and how it Relates over time" regarding Pythagoras' theorem. The students then presented their findings and reflections to the class.
