I think I've finally made up my mind to have DS skip first grade next year. He sealed the deal for me when he had a developmental spurt this week. Suddenly, he can write 100 word stories in one sitting and skip (not at the same time
) These were two areas that were lacking on his last report card.
Anyway, I'm wondering if we need to do anything to prepare DS to skip to 2nd grade. I'm planning to talk to the principal to make sure we have covered everything he'll need for 2nd grade. I'm not sure how/when to explain it to DS... I want to make sure it's a done deal before I tell him but I also want to give him some time to get used to the idea. What do you think?
