[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I think it's really normal for there to be a huge range of abilities in Kindegarden. And I am not sure that my DD is gifted but I do know what she is an advanced reader. Her report card shows she's at the second grade target level, a K.

She has a great teacher and she loves school but does talk about how it's boring sometimes and how there are only picture books in the class and no chapter books and that the worksheets are so easy. I want her to keep her love of school and curiosity of learning but don't want to be *that* mom, thinking her kid is so special and demand that the teacher provide extra or special curriculum for her.

But now with the record card reader rating maybe I have something concrete to go off of? Should I talk to her teacher about it? What to say?

No, you send them to Montessori or private school.  Or they will be bored for the next 5 years too. They barely accelerate in math. We waited way to late and didn't move until 5th grade.  Best decision we ever made.  Our 2nd kid is in public K and it is the same thing.  Lots of sitting around busy boring work for the kids that are above reading level.  We are moving her at 3rd grade and only waiting because of financial purposes.

Kudos to your daughter.  Mine is tracking at book level 12 (3rd quarter 1st grade.)  She is early entrance K too.  So happy I didn't wait to send her.  [/quote]
