We are in the same situation. School hasn't started yet,but I hope that I didn't "over promise" that 1st would be different (even though it should be, as we have GIEPs now and they know what is needed.) I was told by the teacher who leads the gifted program to prepare my sons that they wouldn't be receiving differentiated work for a few weeks after school started. I have been reminding my sons of that fact occasionally so that they are not shocked and worried when they get there and nothing new is being done to help them learn.
The saddest part of all of this to me is that my children really want to learn at school, and they don't understand why it is so difficult for the teachers to just give them work on their level so that they CAN learn something. And for some reason the teachers don't seem to understand just how frustrating it is for little boys who want to learn but are expected to review items they have known for several years ALL. DAY. LONG.
