Welcome to the Enrichment Room at Highwood Hills Elementary School for the 2008 - 2009 school year. Many exciting and challenging learning opportunities are available. The Enrichment Room focuses on developing students' talents, interests, and creativity. Students can participate on a regular scheduled basis or as part of a special interest group. Students may also work on independent investigations.
Nagliari Nonverbal Ability Test (NNAT)
The NNAT was administered the week of January 12. All kindergartners and second graders at Highwood Hills were tested. Also tested were nominated students in grades 1, 3, 4, and 5. Parents will receive the results in the mail by the end of February. This test is offered to identify students for elementary gifted and talented programs, including eligibility for Capitol Hill Magnet School.
Highwood U
Highwood U took place in December. The course catalog had many exciting selections including pillow making, rocketry, and guitar. Thanks to our partnership with the Eastside Arts Council two visiting artists teamed with staff to provide unique learning experiences. Students love to be able to select a class of their choice.
Destination Imagination
Destination Imagination is a creative problem solving competition. Highwood Hills will be fielding three Destination Imagination teams this year. Each of the teams will present their challenges at Harding High School on March 7, 2009. Each team will present their central challenge solution, which they have been working on as a team at school, and an instant challenge, which they solve "on the spot."
