It's a good idea to prep your daughter to say something like: "The Principle decided I should be in 4 grade this year." and change the subject.
Learning how to change the subject is a good thing to practice.
You may also want to practice what not to say, such as adding 'because I'm so smart' or 'because I already know everything in 3rd grade' - really any of the 'because's can get one into trouble. We gifties tend to think that we owe other people 'becauses' and that they will care as much as we care would care in their shoes, but that hasn't been my experience. Most folks just want to know that you still like them and that they won't have to do what you are doing.
You can say the same thing if you wish....you can edit out all the persuading you had to do first - in the end: The principle decided.
Congratulations!!
