Thanks so much, Trinity! I have been in denial and you're right, I do need to move on.
I am considering private testing, although from what I've read we're past the ideal age. I'm sort of waiting to see what the school does. Do you think that's a mistake?
For summer, I have her doing a week at the local animal shelter (she loves animals), a science camp at Illinois Math and Science Academy (IMSA) and various girl scout camps (several at Fermi lab.) I looked into some of the CTD stuff at Northwestern, but I think we're going to hold off this year. We live in the western suburbs of Chicago, so there is much available.
She did the IMSA camp last year and it was the only camp she ever LOVED. She walked out of there the first day asking how she could go to school there. Of course, being in denial, I just skirted the issue afraid of giving her false hope. Ugggh!
No books yet. Do you have any suggestions?
