This past March, like last year, she took the Terra Nova
tests. Starting in second grade, these
tests, among other things I’m sure, identify the students eligible for the
gifted program. Based on the results
from second grade, Kylie began gifted math, so every day, she and some other
kids from her class, went to the gifted teacher’s classroom for math. She has been thriving ever since! Some of the math problems she has been doing
absolutely amaze me! Geometry in second
grade? Then, in March she moved into
gifted reading, so on Fridays, she and some other kids from her class, go to
the gifted teacher’s classroom for reading.
Again, so absolutely loves this!
We just got the results back from her third grade Terra Nova
tests, and yet again, this little girl amazes me! Not only how great she does, but the
expectation she has in herself and the disappointment in her math score (she’s
in the 98th percentile – she wanted to be higher!). I love that my girl has high expectations of
herself…it pushes her and makes her work so hard!I read the Gifted ID report that was given to her, and basically, once you’re classified as “gifted,” you will always be gifted, even if you don’t do well on the test one year. So the letter stated that not only is she gifted in the areas that she had already been classified as gift in, a new one was added: Science. She improved her score so much in this area!
Her scores were as follows:
Reading: 99
Math: 98
Language: 95
Social Studies: 91
Science: 98
Cognitive: 124
