Thanks for the welcome and the words of advice. I've been lurking around gifted forums for a while so I know what a minefield it can be talking to teachers.
The gifted program in our district is a beautiful thing, it's a full time stand alone school that goes 1-6 with every other classroom being CI or GATE. I would love it if our neighborhood school could meet all of her educational needs, it would be so convenient for me. LOL! My daughter will test for it later this winter.
We've had our daughter write a letter to the teacher to tell her what she wanted to do that day at school. The letter was all about playing "chase" on the playground. My daughter came home and said that her teacher commented that we don't chase people at school. *sigh* We've encouraged her to ask the teacher if she can read her a book but she likes to fly beneath the radar a little too much to volunteer to do that.
Thanks again for your suggestions! I will talk about them with my husband and hopefully he and I can get some things in writing that we want to discuss with the teacher.
