Well, things seem...okay? Reading is meh, though they are starting a lot of individualized stuff on the computer. I got back her reading assessment today (state mandated) which has very little useful info but does report that her "probability of reading success" is 99%. Ha! Guess we had to leave that last 1% in there juuuust in case.

She has really enjoyed this special research project they've been doing and we continue to get one math homework a week that truly challenges her. Today it made her cry because she was freaked that she didn't know how to do it right away. This sounds horrible, but I was vaguely thrilled--not that she was crying, but that she was being pushed outside her ding-ding-ding-everything-is-easy zone. She figured it out eventually and was triumphant.

She is still loving chess and science.

She did get a first progress report recently and it's straight As across the board. I guess that's good--I mean, it would be weird to be disappointed in that. Right?
