Welcome to FUTURA at K.W.C. !!!   
 
We look forward to an exciting year, 
        with STRUCTURES as our curriculum theme
.
                   
 

 Loudoun County’s Gifted Program  has invested in Renzulli Learning, an Internet-based educational tool that provides fun, engaging, and meaningful activities that are tailored to meet your child’s individual interests and needs. Renzulli Learning makes sure that your child gets the exact educational resources he or she needs, exactly when he or she needs them.

 

What can my child do with Renzulli Learning?

The Renzulli Learning process begins when your child completes his or her Renzulli Profiler™ assessment, which uncovers your child’s top three interests, top three learning styles, and top three expression styles. Then, based on your child’s Renzulli Profiler results and grade level, Renzulli Learning narrows down its database of more than 40,000 enrichment activities to the 1,500–3,000 enrichment activities that best match how your child learns.

 

A small selection of the thousands of possibilities includes:

 

·    Complete online activities — Students can calculate their weight on other planets, help Lewis and Clark explore the West, design one-of-a-kind art pieces, and much more.

·    Take a virtual field trip — This could be a 3-D tour of a cell, an exploration of the Great Wall of China, an excavation for dinosaur bones, or a virtual journey through our solar system.

·       Prepare for a field trip — Students can gather information about museums, zoos, and art galleries.

·    Be inspired — Thousands of engaging enrichment activities cultivate your child’s creative expression and real-world critical-thinking and problem-solving abilities.

·    Read e-books — We have thousands of literature selections that students can read online for free.

·    Research and complete projects — Find resources for just about any task you can imagine, including researching the U.S. and other countries, becoming familiar with famous people, and completing science fair projects aligned to your child’s interests and needs.

·    Find summer programs — Renzulli Learning provides information about summer programs that can keep your child excited, busy, and engaged in learning over the summer vacation.

·    Enter contests and competitions — Renzulli Learning provides students with information for local, national, and global contests and competitions to which they can submit their work for awards and scholarships.

 

Is Renzulli Learning appropriate for my child?

Renzulli Learning screens websites for educationally sound and child-friendly content. Based on 35 years of educational research, linked activities and websites must pass an extensive quality-assurance criteria test before being added to the Renzulli Learning database.

 

How can my child access Renzulli Learning?

Your child has been registered by his or her teacher at school. Your child may access Renzulli Learning from any computer with Internet access, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, by going to www.RenzulliLearning.com. To access your child’s Renzulli Learning account, please enter his or her username and password, listed below:

Some things to know....

 

LUNCH:  Our lunch time this year is 11:15 - 11:45 a.m. Students may bring lunch or buy it in our cafeteria. If they have a lunch account at their own school, they simply use their ID number to “charge” it to that account, or they may bring money. Please put money in an envelope with the child’s name and amount enclosed.

 

MEDICATIONS:  DON'T EVER send medication with your child. It's against the law!  Give it to your child's teacher or your school's Health Clinic Assistant, or bring it yourself to the Health Clinic Asst. at Culbert.
   
      
WHAT TO BRING TO FUTURA EACH WEEK:    
         Easy to remember: The FUTURA binder & 1 or 2 pencils, and lunch box or sack (unless buying.) 
 
         4th graders and students new to FUTURA will be given a 3-ring binder plus dividers, to use exclusively for FUTURA. Students may bring their own binder, if they prefer. It should have a clear pocket on the front cover.
 
         Students who were in FUTURA last year should bring their binder (they were told to keep it!) and also the dividers. Be sure to remove last year's papers.
 

 

ELECTRONIC ITEMS:  If a student has a cell phone and/or other electronic device in his/her back pack, it may not be taken out while at school.    
 
BOOKBAGS & BACKPACKS:  IT IS NOT NECESSARY for students to bring their school textbooks to FUTURA. Also, they don't need to bring backpacks, unless they are carrying supplies for some project.
