What do I do when I hit the wall?

When gifted students "hit the wall" and are struggling with a problem here are some options to help in the situation.
These are some ideas from my own gifted students:
"When I hit the wall, I wait for help."
"I look at the problem and concentrate." 
"I do yoga and meditation."
"I try anything I can think of."
and my favorite quote...... " I slouch like a couch potato."

Do you have any other suggestions?  What can help us cope when we are struggling?

It is time for my PACT and Prime Time students to begin classes this week. I look forward to meeting all of you and I look forward to stretching your minds.  The skies the limit!

Mrs. Arnold will be the PACT resource specialist at.......

I look forward to continuing my PACT instruction at Van Buren and Hoover elementary, but I will also join the Coolidge team this year.  I am excited to work with great students, teachers and parents at all of my buildings.  

New iPads for PACT

I look forward to incorporating iPads into my gifted classrooms this year. I can't wait to see what the students can create with this technology.
