Part of my pushing for the program for next year is because we've been rezoned to a brand new elementary school. They're building a new one because our current one was so overcrowded. The principal was just assigned; no teachers have been hired yet. My thinking was that if she was in the program, at least she would have a teacher who had at least 30 hours in "GT training," whatever that means. I just feel like it would mean she wouldn't have a first year teacher, and hopefully someone with a little more experience would be better able to differentiate curriculum as needed. I guess that's part of why I'm nervous about next year.
Today is an early dismissal day for her, and she's been begging to go to the natural science museum. I think we'll all go and enjoy the afternoon. Goodness knows I need to step away from the computer! LOL
