I'm excited and a bit apprehensive. DD8 is being accelerated to 4th grade this year and will start the gifted pull out program one day a week. In addition, she will be taking a JHU CTY course during her school day to further accelerate her reading and, depending on how well she adjusts, we may add a CTY math course for use in class as well. The 5th grade cohort isn't a group of kids I want her with, unfortunately (it's a small in-fighting group of kids), so SSA into that class isn't a good option. The teacher she will have this year has never dealt with an accelerated kid but she's being extremely helpful and flexible with everything!
