Well, we had ds6's conference last night, and it went great. His 1st grade teacher, the ULE (gifted) teacher, and the 2nd grade teacher who he goes to math with were all there. They had nothing but good to say about him, he's the perfect student etc etc. We talked about testing, and the ULE teacher would like ot test him in April (he did explain the timing and why it was the best time, but I forget why exactly). We're in no hurry, as we won't send him to the gifted school even if he qualifies. They said that when he gets to 2nd grade in the fall, they will send him to 3rd grade math. Also, the ULE teacher is hoping to let him go to the ULE classes before he is tested !! He says he needs to check with his superior, but sees no problem with it !! So if that works out, he'll start next week - I'm not exactly sure of the schedule, but it would all be on a Tuesday. All in all, a great conference, and I'm SO happy that they are offering so much before he's even been tested !!
