I have questions for you.
Would the 5th grade math be in the same building?
Would it be in the same slot as 3rd grade math is held?
Would there be any other differences in her schedule due to the change?
Does the school have a plan to help her with the daily transitions?
These are very important to have answered!
I know, because my DS has been moved up two grades in math. He is in a small charter that has the fifth grade math class literally across the hall from his regular classroom. Still, this year he missed some instruction in his third grade class, and once he told me it seemed they forgot he was still in the other classroom! Often he is given the instruction in math, but because he must return to his third grade room for instruction in another subject, he has to bring home the entire math assignment for homework. His homework load sometimes exceeds two hours. He has complained that the other kids have time to complete their math assignment, but he has to pick up and leave.
That said, DS loves math and would not want to be sent back. It's a compromise he's willing to make.
Get the answers and then consider a trial period.
