In Ohio the cutoff for Kindergarten is August 1st. However we have an early entrace exam that the child can take. It test them in three areas, Academics, Social Skills, and Developmental Skills. You have to score so many points in each area. The test actually is a gifted test so a 4yr old has to pass the 6yr old test. Emma did not miss a single thing in the Academic and Social areas but she missed three in the Developmental which was 2 to many. She can't tie shoes, dribble a basketball, or cut a cirle out using scissors.<BR/><BR/>I pray to god that next year they will consider her gifted because I fear if they don't she will end up like my brother who didn't do so well in school do to bordom. Emma's guidance coundlor is the same one my brother had and I love her so we have had some dicussions on what to watch for next year and some options we may have. So we will see.<BR/><BR/>OK that was relaly long and could ahve been a post sorry.JWilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16034502861887090912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8895670235860992863.post-36650352965669875322008-09-02T23:04:00.000-04:002008-09-02T23:04:00.000-04:00Wow, what a noggin she's got on her...what's the r...Wow, what a noggin she's got on her...what's the real reason she's not in kingergarten...is she past the age cut off for this year? You know, it may not necessarily be a bad thing to have to wait another year...she'll have the extra year of maturity and she'll be even more brillant and be put into the gifted program where she'll get more individualized attention and become even more brillant!<BR/>Wow, I think that was the longest run on sentence ever!! Please have Emma verify this for me!!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04528100540382167568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8895670235860992863.post-55398057218178986002008-09-02T21:57:00.000-04:002008-09-02T21:57:00.000-04:00She is rediculously smart!

But I can tell you that she probably won't notice that she had to wait a year to start kindergarten when she's older... or maybe she'll just skip a grade later! It all seems to work out the way it's supposed to. But yes, she is one smart cookie!Tiffany McCallenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03253633030629750947noreply@blogger.com
