We just finished 4 weeks of school. DD6 is really enjoying her class and her teacher.

Last week, we received our first written eval from the teacher. DD's teacher noted that she's advanced verbally & in reading and that she will need to be "challenged" in Math.

DD's reading group is reading above grade level, but probably .5 to .75 years behind DD's current level. I'm seeing lots more independent reading from her at home, so we're not going to push that right now.

I'm planning on writing a thank you note to the principal for the placement (both in 1st and with this teacher).

Screening for GT services starts this month. Pull-out doesn't happen until January, but once identified the GT educators are tasked with helping the classroom teachers work with kids who need help/challenge.

Overall I'm happy with the current placement and hopeful that we'll get services in the classroom. I'll keep everyone updated.
