2. What is Giftedness? Kids that have Special talents and gifts, kids that can do higher things then other kids at the same age. I found this information on National Association For Gifted Children
3. I chose Common Core State Standards, National Science Standards and Gifted Education. The three things I learned from this topic are, The Common Core State Standards developed in math, English, and science. The Common Core State Standards also helps teachers, cause it helps teachers know what students struggle with. The CCSS and NGSS helps students become successful in college and in the work place.

B.
1. There are many type of gifted meaning through out schools. Many students sometimes can't demonstrate outstanding levels of achievement because of specific reasons in their lives. Students sometimes can't show their talents because of poverty, culture, discrimination, many other reason that can effect them showing their true talent. Every state has their own meaning of gifted, some states uses gifted in the same grade level or someone level in class.
2. The Information provided in this website show that anyone can be gifted in any type of way, however in life there are always stopping block in life to push back the gifted talent. They both talked about how kids struggle in life because of poverty, culture, discrimination, and other specific reason in life.
3. AAGT PARENT INSTITUTE SCHOLARSHIP is about parents applying for kids to get a small scholarship for their kids, and their kids need to attend the class for the scholarship.
C. The second Website is better because It provide a lot more information, It was easier to find the information about giftedness and it explained it super well with more than three paragraph talking about giftedness. It wasn't to long and straight to the point about giftedness.
D.I think the buddy benches is a unique learning way for kids to connect with one another. It helps kids make new friends that don't have friends in school. The reason why the buddy bench is actually very important because when kids are in class and don't have friends they can go to the buddy bench and make new friends from that so they aren't alone when they do group projects in class or they do not have anyone to talk to in class. It teaches kids to be nice and encourage kids to play with one another and never leave someone out.
