Some of it was Science related and factual. The others were stories she wrote. I'm excited for this opportunity. Her older brother is in this so it's nice she is in it too.

We haven't really taken advantage of DYS at all, except for having our family consultant write a letter to the school, but I guess we should start once I figure out exactly what would help us besides the information they give you. I was in the Facebook group, but then I dropped Facebook. Striving to increase my rate of flow, and fight forum gloopiness.

I think it helps those who come after to see specific examples of what's worked for a portfolio at a particular age. DS who has been DYS for 2 years has been very "Gifted Showie" with projects, ideas, personality and his portfolio. These items felt like they would validated PG. His IQ score just made it. DD8 is not so "Gifted Showie" but her portfolio replaced additional testing. But,I'm not good a comparing writing ability among her peers. Her scores were a little higher too.
