I have finally spoken with someone at the school board who is going to contact all parties and set up our very 1st meeting regarding my suspicions that ds6 is gifted.
My son goes to private school. This person will send a letter to his teacher & a board member & we will all get together so I can make my case. If I convince them, he will be able to take "the test" so I can have confirmation that I am not crazy.
Should I bring in some of his work as well as make notes about his last 6 years as I recall amazing little things he did?? Like, he started writing words with no encouragement from me, at 3? As well as reading at 3? Knew his alphebet at 18 months? Walked at 7 months? Are these the things they want?
He is a big writer. I have nearly 50 books that he has written & illustrated over the past 2 years. One is 39 pages, the rest are 3-10 pages.
He also came in 1st place in math bee, spelling bee, bible bee(private school) & science fair in kindergarten last year.
Any advice about what to bring and what the tone of these meetings are is greatly appreciated!! Thanks!
Jen
