Hi Midwest Mom, thanks for starting this topic.
I have a DD (4th gr) and we homeschool. We're doing nicely with approx. middle school level science material, and above grade level math, keeping it on the edge of challenging. We also do above grade for language arts reading/spelling. I think we're probably grade level for writing output, not actually a problem, just that DD is very methodical. We have extracurricular activities "after school".
We struggle a lot with finding like minded peers at the appropriate age level (not too old, not too young) and finding ways to have common ground, and thus have a connection.
Are your DDs/DSs finding like minded peers in their 4th/5th grades? How are your gifted kids finding similar interests at these grade levels? What are the girls into at this age level?
