[quote=Anonymous]I have a couple of thoughts as someone with older kids now in college. 3rd grade got better, it is still very early in the year, give it a chance. The work will get harder and there should be more opportunities with projects for a gifted kid to stretch themselves (if they want to). Just a warning, I have two. My older kid never complained about being bored. Used her extra time to revise, review, and improve, would read a book if she still had extra time. As they get older and work on more projects, a gifted kid like this can flourish even without a lot of differentiation. My younger kid was not like this at all. He is gifted but rushes through everything claiming he is bored and it is too easy. Rather than using his natural abilities, he wanted a teacher to guide him to the next step (not gonna happen in a mixed ability classroom). This is a personality type and no matter what you do, he may always be bored.[/quote]
