Smart Cookie #3

Today, we got the notification that Leon got accepted into a special school for gifted kids, starting next year!

He’ll have to take a bus and get up early, but he’ll basically have G&T all day long and won’t be bored anymore! The teachers also have extra training for teaching G&T kids.

There were only 44 seats for all of the gifted soon-to-be first graders in the district, so we weren’t counting on him getting a seat – but he recently told us that he’s one of only two kindergarteners at his school who get pull-out services for G&T, so his odds were actually not too bad.

Anyway, we are so excited and proud of him. We celebrated with pizza and smoothies tonight (his choice), and I bought him the most recent Dog Man book, which comes tomorrow.
