I am really new to all this so pardon my ignorance. My dd8 is in 3rd grade and in a GT pull out program for 4 hours a week. I don't even know what her "level of GT is". She has taken the CogAt and scored at the 99%tile. In her regular classroom, she is the only GT qualifed student since the other student in her class that was GT moved out of the district. She is really upset for several reasons. She has no one in the class that can challenge her - she enjoys friendly academic competion. Additionally, because she thinks differently, she acts differently on the playground. She seems to feel like the odd man out.
Should I wait and see if she can work this out for herself or should I go talk to her classroom and/or GT teacher?
Thank you in advance for your insights.
