He starts on Thursday. He will go to a different school full day on Thursdays to be in a class of all ages to work at their own pace with multiple gifted teachers.. One day a week the gifted teacher will come to his home school and work one on one with him. The other 3 days a week he will be in his regular class with a gifted packet to work on at his own pace. He is still encouraged to work with the class but not required. He follows the class schedule for lunches, recess, snacks and so on. None of his work is required as long as he is showing an active attempt and improvement. He will be re-tested at a later date to show progress! (At least this is what I am understanding about it. I will update after next week when we have a complete week to see how it goes!)

We have been talking to him about it and told him if at any time he doesn't like it or its too hard we will pull him out fast! He knows that he has to be a kid first but he WANTS THIS. We told him yesterday that if he doesn't make it we are still proud of him because he tried. He told us he really really wants it and started crying at the though of not passing the test. I hope he enjoys it as much as he thinks he will. I just hate the thought of him sitting in class bored out of his mind for 7 hours a day minis recess, lunch etc.
