[quote=Anonymous]OP, my kid was pulled out for math in kindergarten.  I believe it started around 2nd semester.

They did not send home a letter, and I can't recall if the teacher mentioned it to me or not.

I found out when my kid mentioned the "other classroom" where he did puzzles and "stuff".

I have another child who tests highly gifted, and I did not see anything in the other one that indicated the same types of strengths.  The thing he did have was that he is a perfectionist, attentive to details and good with puzzles/patterns.  I believe the puzzle/pattern thing was why he was pulled out, not because he was some whiz with addition and subtraction.

I have no idea how many other kids were pulled out too, because my kid is a man of few words, but I don't believe it was a large group because it sounded like there was one on one attention.

In first grade, he continued receiving pull outs.  He goes with a few kids for math, other kids go for reading, one kid goes for both.  Maybe a half dozen kids total tops?  I don't believe they are doing actual "math" in there.  I think based on the little he says, that they are doing puzzle/brain teaser/pattern type activities.

I never received a letter stating he was receiving extra services and his report card never has the advanced material box checked.  The teacher did mention at a conference that he is receiving AAP pull out services, but that was the extent of our conversation.

I think he does the same homework package as everyone else, so I am not sure how differentiation may or may not occur in the classroom.  He is enjoying learning, and developing some good school habits, so that is all I really care about.[/quote]
