Thank you so much for your warm welcome:)! This is going to be a wonderful place to learn and share experiences, I can tell already!
We just visited a school for gifted children and it was really great to see how they work with the children. Their skills are more important than grade. If my son's math skill is more like a first grader than he would go into the first grade classroom for a couple of hours and back into kindergarten to keep working on the things that he needs if that makes sense. It is a small school, about 30 to 40 students from pre school till 8th grade. It would be a stretch financially for us but my son is worth it:). We might start him next year.
Mana: so funny your story about little ponies lol!! And I totally agree with you, and that is my biggest worry about him not connecting with other children. I will definitely look into putting him in something he might enjoy like soccer or martial arts. Right now he just likes to run lol!!
