Thanks for your replies. I'm still a little new to this level of g/t stuff, and the amount of information is overwhelming. It makes me second-guess myself about whether I'm doing right by her. She does enjoy going to her g/t class at school, and really likes the teacher. The only thing I don't like about her g/t program at her school is that it pulls the kids out for nearly a full day one day a week. They are then responsible for doing the days' work that they missed in regular class at home, and it's usually due the next day. (Sure wish it was 1/2 day, 2 days a week).
Kickball - what do you mean by "blurps"? I am familiar with the OAGC, but am clueless about the blurp. :~) Thanks for the tip about ODE - I'll be checking that out.
Ok, here's her EXPLORE scores, if anyone has any thoughts:
Composite: 14 (50%)
English: 15 (67%)
Usage/Mechanics: 09 (81%)
Rhetorical Skills: 06 (47%)
Mathematics: 14 (41%)
Reading: 13 (54%) <--Whaaat? Her Lexile had her in the 99th percentile, and she LOVES to read.
Science: 15 (45%)
Thanks to everyone who replied - you have given me a lot to chew on. It's a relief to know that maybe I really don't have to be rich or Supermom to get her the education she needs.
P. S. She has not gone to SIG yet - this is her 1st year and she's counting the days until she can "go to college". I have already told her odds are, unless she can get a scholarship, she won't be going back next year because it's just too expensive. Better to have the experience for one summer than never. My reason behind sending her was not so much for the academics as to expose her to a college experience early on.
