Whiz Kid: Alex Dang

Bowne-Munroe second-grader Alex Dang is this week's Patch Whiz Kid.

Each week, East Brunswick Patch will seek suggestions from readers for individual kids, youth groups, teens and even sports teams that wow us with their accomplishments. We want to hear about these amazing children and teens and select one each week as the Patch Whiz Kid.

This week, Bowne-Munro second-grade teacher Nicole Schwenk nominated student Alex Dang. Congratulations Alex, you are this week’s Patch Wiz Kid.

Here’s what Schwenk had to say about Alex.

“Alex has developed amazing inquiry skills during his time here in second grade.  He is especially interested in social studies, and whenever our class learns new information, Alex will research it further.  He checks many books out of the library on topics we have discussed in class or borrows them from our classroom.  He enjoys reading biographies and other nonfiction texts and shares what he learns with our class. We have even looked up information together on the internet on topics that he still had questions about.  It is obvious that Alex’s interest in learning goes way beyond the classroom setting. Great Job Alex!!”

Whiz Kid’s Key to Awesomeness: “Alex’s awesome attentiveness goes beyond just paying attention in class and sharing his ideas.  He is extremely self motivated and reads many books about a variety of topics.  He always writes down or talks about what he has learned outside of school related to our topic.”
