Gosh TT. .... If they are going to pull down a first grader to buddy with, couldn't they at least choose on who is a peer? Or did they try and that's the best? I love you intention to not make things worse with worry and enjoy the time you have together but I think you can do this while continuing to function in the roll of feedback giver.
I see it as a really good sign that they are willing to pair her across grade levels. They are probably already thinking that they need to tweak and just need a little validation to take action.
This year is going well that's great.
Love and more love
