[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][i]I found second grade to be the absolute worst for advanced kids. The read gifted programs typically haven't kicked in yet, and the schools are laser-focused on making sure all the kids can read, add, and subtract before the step-up in work in third grade. (The famed, "learning to read vs reading to learn" transition)[/i] So the best thing to do now is probably take advantage of the DL environment to supplement with cool, interesting things that make their brains work, but aren't necessarily related to the content they'll learn at school[/quote] This is so true. I have a third grader who is in FCPS's AAP program this year. She was bored to tears in second, but is much happier and more engaged in third.[/quote]
