Once its done the girls are going to visit all the sciece classroom pk-12 to let them know about their project.
Wow!!!
DD is in a solo reading group. Just her and the teacher. That she loves too! They are reading a Wrinkle in Time!
Wow - loved that book! Would have loved to read it with my teacher in 2nd grade! Heavenly!
But this was after a year of review and barely any differentiation or acceleration. I know the administration has a different view of what to do with gifted than her current teachers.
Good for you for all that daring and hard work!
I'm hoping that this wonderful boardgame thing will help convert them.
It might, but my hunch is that the subject acceleration in 4th, and the relationship with the 4th grade teacher will be what clinches it.
Maybe she can skip 3rd and have the wonder 4th grade math teacher next year all day (except math)?
The school also has a gifted summer camp program. DD qualifies testing wise, but its for kids who have completed 3rd-5th grade. Her teachers said she should apply this year!
Both sound like great ideas! Thanks for sharing the good news. We need to hear it!
Smiles,
Grinity
