My dd8 is a sports fanatic! Like polarbear dd9, she has her passion which she does year round, but is usually playing a second sport depending on the season. She is gifted but not exactly sure yet how far along the spectrum, but she is in 3rd grade doing mostly 4th grade work and 5th grade math. We decided to homeschool her because she was bored with school and it drove her nuts that she had to "sit around and wait for others kids to finish their work because they don't know how to behave" She actually hates reading but likes math and writing.
