Students in grades K-2nd participate in the High Ability Learners (HALS) Program at SOS. Mrs. Mews begins by entering the classrooms of students in grades K-2nd and teaching whole group lessons containing challenging and above average material for a duration of 4-6 weeks. Next Mrs. Mews and the gen ed classroom teacher sit down and discuss which students they feel would benefit from the HALS Program and GT Services. These students are then placed into HALS and attend weekly small group pull-out sessions with Mrs. Mews where they participate in Problem Based Learning Activities which are eventually display at the yearly TAG EXPO.
