I have learned a lot through this year. We had to work hard to get the money to donate -- people have to work even harder to get the money to buy our products. The majority of the population is in need of money, and people just have to decide where to place their money. We have raised a good amount of money for the shelter and we hope to raise more. We will take pictures of us giving the money to the shelter, and we hope to do another bake sale; so we will take pictures of that.

The article is about eight year old kids who want to express their interests, but also learn about school. In STEM they are able to engage in their interests and learn about school subjects. These kids are building their own robots, droids, and much more. Their inspiration? Star Wars. But the kids have different interests so they work on different projects. One girl is working on a droid, while a little boy is working on a robot. The kids get to work on something they care about, while they learn. The kids like it and so do the teachers.

Cloud explains to the readers the answer to a long debate that has been going on for many years. He explains some of the most common thoughts, and why their thoughts could be wrong. He talks about Ericsson’s 10-year rule. This rule states that it takes, “10 years, or 10,000 hours of dedicated practice to master most complex endeavors.” He says that practice isn’t something you do once you’re good, it’s what makes you good. Simonton calls this the ‘drudge theory’. He thinks that it is more complex than that. He says that practice is needed for mastering, but not exactly sufficient condition for creating genius. In the end he says that we need to recognize, but not so much, ‘alienate high_IQ kids.’ He says that principals tend to hold them back with kids of their age rather than letting them go to the grade in which they are more fitted to be in.
