I was wondering where your gifted child was / is in kindergarten and what sort of modifications are being made if any. Would you mind being specific and telling me what type of materials he or she could read if he or she were reading, what sort of math things he or she could do, etc. to try to project where we might be in two years.
DS started Kinder at a private school this past fall, he turned 5 at the end of November. He's well beyond the scope of the work they're doing in class right now, but since DD is in 1st grade at the same school, I didn't want to push it. They're using the Abeka curriculum, so he's learning letter and number structure. They're reading in groups, but since he's ahead of his peers, his teacher has been able to get books from the upper classes for him to read during that time. They're doing basic math (matching numbers to items) and things like that, but he'll add the numbers together after he matches them. The curriculum at his school isn't nearly as basic as the public schools here.
