Upadte: Meeticng rescheduled to next Monday becuase principal has to go to a funeral.
Thanks, Whattodo, for the advice. I have a list of goals for our meeting:
Math: placement test; work at his own pace in math on the computer in the classroom (EPGY/Destination Math/something similar).
Science: More in-depth instruction, which may be in the form of reading 4th grade level chapter books from the school library on the same topics the school is covering in class, followed by some sort of project in lieu of homework sheets. Another option might be pull-out -- I didn't know until this weekend that the older grades have a separate science teacher.
Reading: Reading group at his reading level, by the teacher, reading specialist, or pull-out to another grade. He already gets books from the library at his reading level.
Psych: ADHD assessment, achievement testing.
More and more, I'm not convinced that a skip is the best plan for him. He's immature, has attention problems, and can barely write a sentence, despite his rich vocabulary and general well-spokenness. Also, if he's doing 3rd grade math, 4th grade reading, and 6th grade science, I'm not sure 2nd grade will make him happier anyway.
Any suggestions for math testing?
