[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually live in Arlington, and APS doesn't have a program like AAP.  My daughter is heading to Kindergarten in the fall, but she has pretty much mastered everything she needs to learn in K, [b]I followed the Virginia standard of learning and taught her all those standards already[/b] (through fun activities, she is motivated there was no forcing her to learn).  I went to a couple of K orientation where the teachers presented their Kindergarten curriculum and goals, I feel like my daughter is going to be so bored in class since she has met all those goals already...ugh, I am sure I am not alone in this situation.

What did you do when your child was bored in class? How did you help him/her learn beyond the required curriculum?  Continue teaching her myself?  I do think she is gifted (trust me, I and unfortunately the gifted service at APS is pretty much non existence.

I really appreciate your help in advance!

You realize you're obsessed, right?

When we first moved to this area many years ago we settled in Arlington and enrolled our daughter in the local public school for first grade.  At back to school night one of the mothers asked what reading group our daughter was in.  I said, "gee, I don't know, I guess the one for kids who can't read yet?"  And I laughed.  Our daughter ended up at UVA, later got a master's degree, and did very well.  All of our kids did, without us ever thinking that it was our job to teach them what's in the SOLs!
