We just moved states and our 5 year old took a test called MAP in school. The teacher called us in and informed us that our kid was in the 99th percentile in math and reading and recommended that she join an gifted/accelerated class for 1st grade.

Our kid is a fun loving girl and loves to do a bunch of thiungs (Swimming, Dance, music etc). I am thus not too sure about putting her in a academic intensive program.

Seek your guidance.
