1frugalmom , you said it all . DS is like your DD9 , exactly like that . And yes most of the time when he's not reading , he writes , or draws , even that . Sometimes what he writes offend the teacher , although he writes it in his own paper or journal ( i let him bring journal ) and he got in trouble because of that . For example , he wrote in his journal and gave nicknames for his friends and his teacher sent me a note home , she said she doesn't mind DS write during free time , but not for things like this . Other time , he'd be very creative and because of so creative it distracted the whole class .
About helping , back in 1st grade he was allowed to do this , like going to kindergarten and help reading to them , or just in the classroom helping other students . But in this school he wasn't allowed to . Even helping a friend in a car rider line , he got scolded for doing that .
