Gabby is in the gifted program and each year the kids have to do some sort of projects.t is suppose to cross all areas of study.Gabby(Gasp!!!),chose fashion.She was going to relate to cultures and such.Since it is suppose to cover all her classes,the reading teacher my be there.I talked to her social studies/science teacher and I know her math teacher will be there,the reading teacher was out today.I am having Gabrielle attend the meeting,since it is her project.Maybe I can sneak in a few books that are 5. something and get the teacher to let gabby read them.For those of you whose kids have IEP or GIEP,do your kids attend the meeting with you.Gabrielle asked to attend last year,so I let her now she wants to come to all of them.Last year she actually only came because she did not like her social studies/science teacher,then that teacher ended up attending the meeting.However,after that Gab liked her a little better,because she raved about what a leader Gabby was,so go figure.Hopefully the reading teacher will be there.In any case gabby can get started on her project.

In our area, gifted don't get a GIEP but we have met many times with teachers to discuss accomodations. DD does not attend these meetings.
