Academic Glee

Last week Daniel brought a note home from school stating that he had been invited to join Perspectives, the gifted program in his school. Daniel has been very ho-hum about school so far this year, so it was wonderful to have him come bursting through the door this afternoon and declare, "Perspectives started today and it was AWESOME!!!" I'm absolutely thrilled that he is in an academic situation that he enjoys (and the fact that it is teaching him some critical thinking skills doesn't hurt either).
