Ok here's the story. I am a 4th and 5th grade math teacher. One of my 4th graders has been indentified as apparently "extremely gifted" and has been pulled from my class to be in an accelerated program. So far, no problem. The catch - the gifted specialist can only be at our building 3 days a week. So this student is in my classroom on Mondays and Fridays. Our book utilizes a lot of group work and math games, and the specialist has asked that this student be allowed to participate in these events with my class. I am supposed to receive lesson plans from her for the days he is in my room - today - none, so I had to improvise. Can this work? How do I deal with this extra student who is in my room, but not in my class? How do I make this work? Can he ever actually accelerate? so far he seems to have busy work or "homework" type problems to do while he's in my room. Today I guess he was supposed to have a test, but I wasn't given it to give to him. I'm frustrated, please help.
