Thank you for the suggestion, Indigo. We did use the IAS when she was in kindergarten and she was accelerated a grade. They don't want to accelerate her another grade, though, and she is hesitant because she wants to get to enjoy being a child and feels she is having to grow up faster (that's how she puts it). I don't think that is necessarily the case, but she is hesitant. She was accelerated from kindergarten to first and is now in a combined 4th/5th classroom. She is technically in 4th, but doing higher grade work and says (I don't know if it is true or just her impression) that she is working ahead of all of the others by a large margin.
