Indeed!! We've always suspected this to be the case and last week we received written proof:) Last week we got a letter from the school district that Jake has qualified for the gifted program based on a test he took last fall. He qualified in on one of the areas. The area is....drum roll please.....Quantitative Battery. What is quantitative battery? That was my question. Guess I am not as gifted as my son, I had no idea what it was. So, if you are like me and have no idea...it is, "...appraises general abstract reasoning skills, particularly inductive reasoning and specific mathematical reasoning skills... and has a positive correlation with reading and mathematics achievement." The lettter that we received said, "Please know that this means that your student represents the upper 3 % of the students in the state whoare academically gifted." He gets to meet with a teacher for the gifted for one hour every month.
So there you go! Good job Jake, now if he only wasn't so 'gifted' when it comes to talking during class!! We are still working on that one!!

Way to go Jake!! Love you a ton
Of course Jake is gifted. And even though he'd gross out at me saying this he's a pretty cute kid too. Good job Jake! Good luck with the talking though Amy I've never won that battle with Taylor.
Of course Jake is gifted! It has just taken Arizona this long to find a test to prove it. JK I would love you to bring your special gifts to Utah more often and share with us. :) Way to go! We love you!
