When our ds was in 3rd he was also in 5th grade math and LA/reading (no skip). He was also at the top in these classes. He kind of liked being with the older kids. He has also been big for his age which helped.
We were very involved in and out of school in our area. He knew a lot of these kids from playing baseball. DS could play ball well, he knew the game and would usually be one of the top pitchers. We have been involved in 4H since he was old enough to do that too.
We were also part of a group that did service project for the elderly and nursing homes. Several of these older kids were involved in that. Nothing big just spring cleaning of lawn furniture, plant flower pots and sweep the patios.
Is there a way you could be involved outside of school so he could be on an equal level with some of the older kids. I think it helped him very much.
