Hi, I know this is old. I am interested in information on Sonoran Sky, Reach or SUSD self contained gifted. My d5 has been tested HG and she is going to repeat K as she is really smart but delayed emotionally and slight fine & gross motor. I have her in a Montessori class right now and she is doing better as they are not pushing her beyond what she wants to do right now while we work on ways for her to cope with frustrations and they can actually pull in curriculum up to 1st grade next year if she needs more. I am trying to decide what to do in the 2014/2015 year when she is in 1st grade. Are these self contained programs really intense? Like hours of homework and reports? I think she needs to be challenged but not with tons of busy work. She is super visual spatial and with her fine motor delays she really hates writing but she is at a K level but she hates it and if you push her she has a very intense meltdown. I am not sure if she has any LD but right now we are considering her 2e due to her delays but there is a thought that she will catch up with therapy and other interventions we are working on. Thanks in advance!
