We got great news when we returned home from the beach, that Colin has been accepted into the Challenge Class. This is Carmel's version of gifted and talented. He will be in a separate class full time from the other 3rd graders.
I knew he was bright, but I was blown away by his scores. On the IQ section, he earned all 10 points possible. He needed a 125 score and he got a 147!!! He also did well on both the Math and the Reading sections (he has to be reading at at least 2 grade levels ahead to be in the program and he is). He got 5 points for Math and 6 for Reading. This is not how many questions he got right, just the "points awarded" after they figure out some sort of scoring matrix. So, he needed 12 points total to get in the program and he got a 21! I am very proud of him and think that the extra challenge will be good for him too.
Also today, Dennis took Evan to see the Korean national Tae Kwan Do team do a demonstration. Evan said it was really cool.
