THE TALENTED & GIFTED EXPERIENCETHE TALENTED & GIFTED EXPERIENCETHE TALENTED & GIFTED EXPERIENCE
THREE STORIES PLACE IN NATIONAL WRITING
CONTEST
M rs. Joanne Carbotti’s fifth grade T & G students en-
tered a writing contest after Jane Lovascio a children’s author
visited in February. The students were asked to write a story which included a new adventure for Casey and Bella, the author’s
dogs, who are the main characters in each of her books. Although none of the students
won the top prize out of 2000 entries across the United States, Tyler Ellis a fifth grade Sherman School T&G student, placed in
the top ten. Tyler’s book was titled “Casey and Bella Go Back in Time.” Another Sherman fifth grader, Natalie Tribiano placed
in the top twenty-five. Natalie’s book was titled “Casey and Bella Explore the Rain Forest.” Logan Catalfamo also placed in the top
twenty-five. Logan is a student from EJF-Aldene School, and his book was titled “Casey and Bella go to the Moon.” Mrs. Lovascio
sent a special certificate to Mrs. Carbotti in honor of these three outstanding stories.
A ll of the 5th grade T & G students received a certificate
for their exemplary entries and their participation in the contest.
Mrs. Lovascio felt all of the students were winners for their entries and love of writing. She said it was very difficult to choose
a winner because of the outstand-ing entries this year. Mrs. Carbotti’s plans to enter her students again next year with her
new group of fifth grade T & G
students. Great job by all.
LAUNCH PROGRAM FOR
STOCK MARKET APP
M rs. Joanne Carbotti’s sixth grade T & G
students are part of Launch Program for a
New Stock Market App on IPAD. The students
were afforded a once in a life time chance to test
a new IPAD stock market game that Phillip
Ittleson, founder of Media Concepts
International, created. The game that was
tested is called “Super Stock Jockey Game.”
Mr. Ittleson is an advocate of creating exciting
educational tools that can be integrated in the
classroom where they can highlight the
importance of teaching critical real-world skills.
The class was selected to participate because of
Mrs. Carbotti’s affiliation with Biz World and
both she and her sixth grade annual commit-
ment to learning about stock and revenue and
good money management through Biz World
activities.
B iz World allows students to explore the
possibility of becoming the next
entrepreneurs by creating their own friendship
business. Mr. Ittleson visited the class and
explained not only the stock market, and his
reasoning for creating The Super Stock Jockey
game but the value this knowledge can lend an
individual in making good choices for future
financial success and growth. This is not a
typical game just geared to children but this is
an activity that both parents and their children
can participate in together in playing, and learn-
ing about the stock market all at the same time.
The students tested the features of the new app
while Bloomberg News recorded and taped the
story. It will be aired on Bloomberg News in the
near future. Students were challenged to play
the game over the summer and if they make a
greater profit than the news reporter Matt Miller
they have a chance at winning a $15,000.00
scholarship. Also Mrs. Carbotti and her
students were offered the opportunity to visit
the stock exchange in September and have her
students possibly ring the Nasdaq bell. What
an awesome experience for all involved!
FINALIST NAMED IN
SCIENCE CONTEST
M ichele Cymansky, a sixth grade T & G
student in Mrs. Carbotti’s class won several prizes as a finalist in Kids Science
Challenge contest that Mrs. Carbotti entered her sixth grade students in. Michele was asked to come up with a
new invention that would help pet owners interpret pet feelings. Michele decided to test cats’ feelings for
sadness, jealousy, happiness etc. through a series of experiments. Michelle used her own cats as subjects and
used food as a source of reward. Michelle’s experiment proved her hypothesis that her cats have feelings that
could be easily proved through her experiments. This idea caught the judges’ eye both for its originality
and ease of being replicated for other cat owners to use with their cats. Michele received a series of prizes for
her outstanding entry. It is worth noting that Michele competed against thousands of entries from all over the
United States. Great job,
Michelle!

LEADERS FOR A DAY
M rs. Joanne Carbotti’s eighth grade students were leaders
for a day for the annual and culminating activity for the
T & G school year, Creative Kids Day. The students created
lessons which they shared with their group of T & G students
ranging from grades 2-7. The eighth graders also designed a
t-shirt that promoted the theme “GO GREEN.”
M rs. Carbotti was able to purchase many extras this year
for all the students in the T & G program grades 2-8
because of a $500.00 grant she received for her idea “Go
Green”. Some of the items students received were a reusable
go green bag, a bracelet, a plant, recycled pencils and folders,
stickers, door hangers, and badges. The students also partici-
pated in countless activities like Go Green Bingo where prizes
were distributed, designing badges and door hangers, go green
worksheets and the final activity designing a quilt patch. Each
student from both Mrs. Arlene Terpenning and Mrs. Carbotti’s
classes were given a quilt patch which they creatively designed
emphasizing the “Go Green” theme that was then sewn togeth-
er to make one cohesive quilt that will be displayed in the next
school year so others will understand the importance of saving
the environment. It was a fun filled day for all and a chance for
all the T &G students to mingle and interact with their peers
and also make some new friends along the way.
Pictured above: Aurora Moran, 8th
grade leader, with students grades 2-7.
MYTHOLOGICAL
BOOK PUBLISHED
F ifth grade students in Mrs. Joanne Carbotti’s
T&G class wrote and created images of mythological ani-mals that were published as a book which could be purchased and kept as a keepsake of one of the many students’ achievements. Students selected three animals and then combined them into one unique animal
which they drew, colored and depicted in their new
environment. The students then wrote a mythological story explaining how their new animal came to exist. They enjoyed this activity and were pleased with their final product, which was a beautiful hard cover book. The class stories were also entered into a writing contest. Perhaps the fifth graders will have
the winning book!
UPDATE ON FLAME CONTEST
S ixth grade students in Mrs. Joanne Carbotti’s T&G class
gave their final vote in the Flame Contest. The students were featured on a segment of World News with Diane Sawyer on the ABC network. In the segment Alan Alda was interviewed and explained why he was involved in this scientific endeavor. The Flame Contest involved students from all around the world that watched or read possible definitions of a flame that were written or illustrated by scientists. Now with that vote finally in the top, contestants were selected and students were asked to make a final selection and vote for the overall best definition of a flame. The final results of winning entries were found on You Tube where Mrs. Carbotti’s sixth grade T&G students viewed the winning entries of each scientist’s version of a flame and then cast one last vote. The winning entries came from scientists from Massachusetts, New York and Austria. The students can be proud of their contribution to the success of this experiment.
The winning scientist will be announced in the near future.

grade leader, and students grades 2-7.

UPSIDE–DOWN
ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING
M rs. Joanne Carbotti’s fifth grade T & G
students enjoyed the day by experiment-
ing with making a contraption that would trap
helium balloons that were strategically placed
20 feet above the auditorium floor. This fun
filled day began with a former Roselle Park
student, Michael Allen, who was also part of
the T & G program, explaining the activity and
rules to the students. He also gave them all
the supplies they would need to make a
contraption. The key was to have good
communication and teamwork and come up
with the best contraption to problem solve
trapping the balloons without pulling on the
strings. The students had to grab a ring which
held the balloons that were suspended by 20
feet of string. The students had to capture
various color rings to accumulate points.
Students were also given additional points for
problem solving as a team with thought
provoking questions on balloons, helium,
weight or force.
M r. Allen now lives in Massachusetts
where he is an electrical engineer for
Mobius Imaging, LLC. He also works as a part
time instructor at MIT Edgerton where he runs
a program called “The Saturday Thing”. It is
basically an engineering club where students
from local schools come to work on projects.
Mr. Allen either helps these students with
their projects or occasionally works on one of
his own.
I t was a fun filled day where students in Mrs. Carbotti’s fifth grade class could use
their creativity and problem solving ability to make the perfect contraption and also enjoy sharing their ideas with their classmates. See
the two photos above.
BIZ WORLD
S ixth grade T & G students have been anxiously preparing for the annual Sales Bazaar part of a
wonderful, innovative and creative program called Biz World. After several CEO’s from Biz World visited Mrs. Joanne Carbotti’s sixth grade students in January and explained how they became entrepreneurs. Mrs. Carbotti’s students were inspired to embark into a production frenzy and hope that their company would make the most profit and their business and group would be recipient of the title future entrepreneurs. Biz World is a simulated activity where students worked as teams and created a friendship bracelet business. Students applied for positions such as President, Vice President, Marketing Executive, Sales and Design and also named their company. Students
were given 10 stocks and 1 Biz Buck to incorporate their business. Their stocks could be sold to the venture capitalist or students could apply for a bank loan to acquire money which was necessary to buy supplies, pay salaries and other fees. The sixth grade T & G students created awesome prototypes of a friend-ship bracelet and then made as many bracelets as they could for the Sales Bazaar. Robert Gordon second grade students were invited to and attended the Sales Bazaar at the Middle School. Mrs. Carbotti explained what it means to be a good consumer and smart shopper to them. The second graders watched the sixth grade commercials first and then window shopped before actually purchasing any bracelets. Some highlights from this year’s Sales Bazaar Day were an island themed business that
included a fun hut where admission was allowed with a purchase or set fee, and raffles and special deals to increase sales at their booth. The younger students learned a great deal about being selective buyers when making purchases. They learned that by looking at the quality, appearance and price of the bracelets they would make better choices and be informed consumers. It was a fun afternoon for all and a great activity for the students. They can apply all they learned from the Biz World CEO’s on how to
run a successful business. See photo above.

THE EXCITING WORLD OF LADYBUGS!
M rs. Dawn Marie Warren’s kindergarten students are experts on ladybugs! Go ahead, ask them anything! They have
studied the life of a ladybug, in a cross curriculum way, by reading fiction and nonfiction books, watching videos, making crafts and cookies, and through scientific observation. They began learning about the lifecycle just before their shipment of larvae arrived, and continued their study until it was time to release the ladybugs into the natural environment. Having the creatures in their classroom, and watching their transformation, created a wonderful learning experience that the students will remember for years to come. See
the surrounding photos of the students with their ladybug project.
