Annemarie - is it possible for you to sit in on a first grade class or talk to one of the teachers for next year just to see what the usual routine is?
I have a son in 1st grade. There are several children in his class who are working 1 to 2 years ahead of grade level who I'd say are quite happy and challenged. They get a third grade spelling list, a 2nd grade math packet, and individualized reading material. I would ask your husband to reasses her towards the end of the summer. If she is fluently reading chapter books independantly (around 4th grade level on up), this is where being in first grade becomes really quite painful IMHO and you may want to talk to your school administration or look at plan B.
Just take it a few months at a time. We are looking at homeschooling right now, which a year ago I wouldn't have dreamed of doing. It all depends on how things play out and it takes some patience to let it sort itself out! Take care!
