Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment A few questions about DYS application

Thanks for the replies.
Some of the earlier work I am torn on it. It's handwritten work, which I don't have a lot of handwritten work, and it's complete stories with great plots, developed story line, perfect spelling and grammar. It is easy to see how far ahead of his peers he was even at 5. On the other hand it is old work. He is strong in Math, but not in his placements. I think I will copy his math from his current notebook and give him some higher level work sheets to do for them. Even after the skips in Math, ds says, "I only get things wrong when I don't give attention to the details". He can mostly definitely do more. I might be able to talk him to making a video on his flip cam for me, If I beg:) He strengths are fairly well rounded but Reading/Writing and Science are his real stand outs. I think his writing in Science and just his fiction works are probably the best display of his talents.
Hence why I wanted the Science teacher and the English teacher to both wrote letters for him. I think I will send both. The English teacher has 3 grown HG to PG children of her own. She said to me this morning to get going already! It can't be all in head, right?
Thanks again, I'm just need a push off the ledge to jump in and go already!

I love this forum.

Thanks
