Hi my name is Liz and my DH and I just found out that our 5 year old kindergartner is gifted. They had her take the IQ test in November and this past Thursday we learned the results. She will now be placing her in 1st grade starting next week.
The fact that they wanted to accelerate her was not surprising the fact that they wanted to do it 2 days after we found out the results was the shocking part. They said she does not need kindergarten and she's really need a bit of a challenge because she's very bored.
They also told us that she's capable of doing 3 or 4 grade work and reads at an adult level.
My DH and I are still processing everything and trying our best to deal with it.
