We had a meeting for Little Man today to evaluate whether he qualified for the Gifted program. In the state of Kansas it is through an IEP process. This means placement is not based on academic achievement but on cognitive testing. Little Man's greatest strength is in Verbal Comprehension. His standard score for this area was 150 which is in the 99.9 percentile for his age. His overall IQ scored in the 99th percentile, so he qualifies for the Gifted program. We got to tour the gifted classroom, and we're really excited for this opportunity for him. They meet every day for 45 minutes and will be together essentially until they graduate. Gifted is taken as an elective in the middle school, so he will still get to have that class every day next year as well. We're excited for this new opportunity for him.
Little Man got to teach a science experiment in class last week. Of course, he told me of the supplies he needed the night before as I was headed to work, but I'll forgive him, because he did a good job, and he also promised to give me advanced warning next time. Hahaha.
