So far we have a lovely teacher who is trying hard to work with us...
Yes, you mentioned she is giving your daughter work 1-2 grade levels accelerated (
4th and 5th grade work )
... she is just as gifted in reading as in math, I only get to choose single subject acceleration for one subject, and that doesn't make sense (the school only lets kids do SSA in one subject).
As
another poster mentioned, if a kiddo is being accelerated in both reading and math, it might as well be a full grade skip?
So, we will meet in a couple of weeks with the principal, and see what we end up with for DD!!!
If one grade skip might not work for your family as it would place your younger daughter in the same class as your older daughter... might two grade skips work (to provide a comfortable amount of challenge, based on her high performance in reading and math)? Might a single acceleration in one subject and a double acceleration in the other subject be a way to provide a trial period and possibly ramp up to a double acceleration? What options would you like to see? What would you suggest?
