She's reading aloud the displays clearly and without sounding out the words. She's several grade levels into reading and is only in kindergarten. Show her a nickel and ask how many five nickels is and she comes back with a quarter without missing a beat. Twenty nickels, a dollar. The girl is doing multiplication in her head at five years old. Don't know whether to be proud or scared.

Lol,lol, swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo You have to remember that 1 out of 3 Democratic Voters is just as dumb as the other two.

First that it does not seperate her socially and that she takes absolutely nothing for granted or given. I'm already pulling her aside and telling her that I expect her to do her best.

She will know that learning is in the challenges. The misses. The best horse trainers like to say, work with the horse that shows up. Not what you are expecting. If they are in a mood, work with that only. If they are excelling, treat them like a pro. If they are subdued and moody, balance that with encouragement and council that they can reach. If they fail, show them that’s the way of the ones who learn to run with horses. To run with horses , figuratively, is to learn strength and endurance , without pride , always willing to learn and discern wisdom.

They had me in the special gifted classes too. (not math though) We never really thought much of it except that it was really cool to be ahead of the rest of the kids. We were not taught to look down on the other kids. I do remember though being so impatient when the slower kids would read something aloud in class because I had no grasp of why they could not read well.

I would say this but only add follow this even when the going gets tough. My oldest daughter had a horse roll on her and break her arm. Hardest thing for me to do was to back off and let her ride again!
