I am feeling hopeful for the coming school year. DD's school posted class assignments yesterday, and she will be in a 1-2 combo class (as a 1st grader). This is great because she's at a 2nd grade level in some areas, but more like a 1st grader with others. (I feel that many of DS's problems in school would have been mitigated had he been in a combo class.)

Our school doesn't usually have combo classes (this is the first I've seen in 3 years), so I don't know anyone whose kid has been in one. Anyone have any experience with these? Anything to watch out for?

(And if she's been learning with second graders all year, what do they do next year?)
