I am not sure if I should give her an "easy year" since last year's skip was challenging for her or if we should keep on the challenging path by asking for another skip over winter break? She is eligible for special programs in science next year if she gets an A in math and a mid year skip might not be a good idea for that. Also she would be with older kids in math if a skip was implemented. I worry about the lack of challenge, but I also wonder if a skip would really make a difference anyway? Should I just be happy with an easy year?

You know Jen, I'm thinking that you can 'test the waters' by giving her a few of the chapter tests that the kids in the Algebra have already done so far this year. That would be a fun way to suppliment at home and a good way to transition into the Math. I'm guessing that you could get them to agree to put her in the honors Science 'no matter what' if she takes the mid year skip.
also - please don't be intimidated that the rest of the kids are 'GT' because the range of GT is huge!
