[quote=Anonymous]If you can swing it, there are some awesome enrichment opportunities in the area.  We had a close friend who didn't make it into a CES but who ended up going to humanities magnet and CAP.  I know of others who did the same on the Science/Math track.

What is your kid interested in already?  Follow that interest if possible.

Imagination Stage has great after school and summer camps that can really increase a student's language skills.  Washington Revels has some awesome after school workshops if you are nearby.  Craft, song, dance and imaginative play.  Try to go to some children's theater with them, too.

There are so many robotics/coding camps and classes available these days, if your child is interested in that side of things.

Take advantage of museums on weekends.

Let them explore sports too!

Late elementary is a great time for kids to explore different interests.  They can do that outside of formal school and grow a lot.  Keep your bright kid reading and try to push to new genres or into nonfiction where possible.

There is so much individual differences between teachers, as well.  Some of the non-CES teachers at our school are simply outstanding.[/quote]
