Thanks for all the suggestions. I sent a letter to school with DD and asked the teacher to contact me when convenient to her. I did as bk1 suggested and complemented her on picking up on these behaviors this early in the year and asked for suggestions what I could do at home to support her educational and behavioral needs.
I also gave her some specific examples from last year and how they were resolved. She sent a quick post it note home letting me know the letter was received and she would speak with the gifted teacher and then get back to me. Now, I never mentioned the word gifted, but she must have identified these behaviors as such. I am hoping that this opens the communication between us and DD will have a better school year.
