I should have been more clear: SOME days they get recess, not always. They go to gym once a week, but an OT comes in their class and does exercises with the entire class so they do get some physical outlets.

You are getting writing? They are having her circle letters and asking if she knows the letters of her name even after meeting with the psychologist who said she was gifted and the teacher nodded and said she is trying to differentiate. I actually feel for the teacher. She seems nice but overwhelmed with a huge class with some kids who are really quite wild. I am sure getting hard work for the gifted kid isn't the most pressing concern day to day.

Are there other kids who your son is working with who are at a similar level? There is a little boy in her class who is advanced, probably gifted, but very shy, and I am hoping they can give them harder work together.
