We were having issues with attention, which is the whole reason I had her tested in the first place. She was daydreaming and "ignoring" what was going on in the classroom. She can be overly focused at times though... try getting her attention when she's reading Harry Potter. She's also a bit scatterbrained... She would forget her head if it wasn't attached. That has gotten a lot better this year. She has a teacher who gives her projects, jobs to do, etc. They've worked on keeping the desk clean, remembering homework, etc. I wouldn't say she is super organized and attentive now, but much better than she was last year.
No ADD according to the psych. In his words, "What's going on inside her head is much more interesting to her than what goes on in second grade." I was also concerned about Asperger's because of the over-focusing/obsessing about topics that interest her, and her lack of a social "filter" with her peers. He said no to that also because she is affectionate and socially appropriate with adults. According to the psych, all of her problems were typical GT problems, not a deficit or disorder. She's also the youngest in her class. She barely made the cutoff for K.
We discussed a skip last year with her principal. We opted not to do it because she would have missed out on this particular teacher. It has been a fantastic year, so looking back I'm glad we didn't skip. I also do think about her age/maturity, and her size. She is tiny. But, I'm thinking if she won't qualify for GT services in math, then maybe we re-investigate the skip. I haven't talked with anyone about a skip this year.
Does this give a better picture? I'm just not sure what to ask for. I don't want to put her in a situation where she'll struggle too much, but a little bit of struggle would be good for her. She's had straight A's all year with little effort on her part.
Thanks for all the good advice-
