Need a little help from GC Educators. . .
I actually posted my question in a previous thread (unfortunately, it didn't get any responses), but ran across this one and thought that this might be better answered on this thread.
Can you give me some ideas as to where my daughter should be academically? She is 8 years old and in the 2nd grade. She's a very bright child (and I'm not just saying that because she's my daughter) but I am concerned about her math "skills". She reads very well and is attending a private school where they focus a lot on reading. Most of the homework that she has is vocabulary and the like, but she doesn't really bring home much math or science homework (she did have multiplication tables for homework yesterday). I've seen some of her classroom work where they are doing some science, but no homework in these other subject areas. My husband says we need to work with her more, and I agree, but what should she know at this age/grade level?
I am planning to take her out of this school and place her in a charter school where they have more afterschool activities. She can learn Spanish, do computer projects, play musical instruments, etc. Any words of wisdom?
