Hello ladies. Its been a while since I've posted. I've had a crazy month but am back now!

DD7 is doing very well in both her 2nd grade class and her GT class. I think I posted that they are allowing her to enter the science fair this year (usually is only 3-6 grade) and she's very excited about that. Her GT teacher has informed me that dd is excelling in her class and that she is very impressed with her quick progress

I had asked her teacher if they do any achievement testing at her school and the only thing she said they do is the Iowa-something achievement test in 3rd grade. (Im drawing a blank as to what its actually called!) Is anyone familiar with this? I know I have left it a bit vague but hopefully someone might recognize it. lol. Anyway, that will be done next year. I have no idea what the test is used for. I guess I had better figure out the actual name of it and do some research, huh? hehe.

I just wanted to drop in and say hi. Hope everyone is doing well!

Ah, thats it. Thanks, Dottie! I had a feeling it was something like that.

I think I'm going to speak with her GT teacher about achievement testing. DYSP had asked for that and since dd doesn't have any I think I should start researching it a little bit. Her GT teacher seems very receptive and has always promoted the academy in her newsletters etc so I bet she'll be able to give me some direction.

oh, and thanks..good be to be back here!

Hi Mom2LA,
good to see you, and happy your DD is enjoying school and the science fair! Yippee!
