Jess' Dilemma #1

           
        The first dilemma that I have had is keeping the students busy. A lot of the students on this particular team of teachers are gifted. The school took the students' CRCT scores in Math and placed them in a gifted level Math class; these students are learning seventh grade material in sixth grade. So, because these students students are placed on this team for gifted Math, they are expected to be accelerated or gifted in the other subjects as well.
         I'm in a Language Arts classroom. Some of the students are definitely gifted in all subjects but then there are some that are not. Because each class has a mixture of gifted/accelerated/average students, it becomes extremely difficult to keep everyone on the same track. Even when I assign multiple assignments, some students will still finish way ahead with time to spare. Is reading a library book after they're completed enough to suffice? What should I do?
