Meet the teacher was a success! After getting into the school Aiden started to show some real excitement about the upcoming year. He was THRILLED to see that our school did end up with a GT specialist, but was a little bummed that she wasn’t at the school for him to meet. Even though he understands he will not be pulled out of class for GT, it really seemed to calm his nerves just to know that he would have an actual specialist on campus to meet with. While Aiden did not get the teacher I was hoping for, he did get the teacher I expected, Mrs. Ries. From what I've heard, she generally ends up with the majority of the GT kids, and with the homeroom teacher now having to offer the extra GT work in class; it just made more sense for him to be placed with her. Since the GT kids are clustered, Aiden knows nearly all his classmates and he is really excited about that! We made sure to swing by and see Mrs. Whitsell, Aiden’s teacher from last year – we’re all really going to miss her! However, I’m sure we’re going to grow to love Mrs. Ries too. I’ll update again soon. I’ve got to get off this computer – we’ve got a BUSY weekend ahead of us!
