I have a very outgoing and challenging 3 1/2 year old boy. He has been reading whole books (prefers Dr. Seuss) for about 4 months. He is starting to push me to teach him math and has the jump start 1st grade program for his computer. He can count to 50. He wants to know how everything works.
I have tried to get a curriculum from the local school district but they have been uncooperative. I have also been told that they will not move him ahead or into any "special" programs until he is in 3rd grade. He is in a preschool program 2 days a week and loves playing with other kids, but is not being challenged intellectually.
I don't know where to begin. I was hoping to go back to work when he starts school to suppliment our income. I am now reconsidering, thinking that homeschooling is the only way to keep him interested in learning.
Is he gifted? What do I need to do next? Any advise would be appreciated! Thanks.
