I'll be homeschooling DS3.5 in lieu of his attending pre-kindergarten in the fall and am hopeful I will be able to create a good fit for most of his needs.

I reviewed curriculum guidelines for our province and see that he seems to have met the exit targets for grade 1/2 level in math and reading, and has an interest level in sciences well beyond that. Despite being super extroverted, confident, and the size of a 5-year-old now, there is no way he would be a candidate for early entrance into kindergarten emotionally or physically (he still needs a 2.5-3 hour nap mid-day; hardly eats unless fed), and I'm not convinced that the single year acceleration would be much help.

Here's hoping his teacher isn't a moron! wink
