The Willow Run Community Schools in Michigan will soon be offering programs for gifted and talented children in 2nd to 6th grades. For those who live in this area, more information is available here.
I cannot stress enough the importance of having a school program that caters to the individual needs of its students. Gifted kids for example, need additional intellectual stimuation apart from their regular classes. In my daughter's school, they have a pull-out program for gifted and talented kids that lasts for one hour per week. The kids in this class get to explore a variety of topics, to create works of art and to let their imagination soar. Aside from having a good gifted program, of course it's also important that the teacher is specifically trained to teach these kids.
My daughter has flourished both intellectually and emotionally through the activitiss they do in school, especially in her gifted class. She often looks forward to Fridays because that's the day they attend the class.
