My oldest is 6 and in 1st grade. She is bright and probably "gifted" as well. There really isn't anything in school that is challenging for her. She is so happy though. She loves the social aspect of school and has grown a lot in confidence and maturity ore the last year. She will be able to test for the gifted program next year. We've mentioned it to her and right now she has no interest in leaving her school and her friends. But, we'll have her test and then cross that bridge when we come to it.
