Since you have 'pinged' the teacher once on this already, you might need to wait a couple weeks so as not to offend her...then if you don't see any changes, definitely go in with the more specific questions. I would not wait more than a couple of weeks, though...surely that should be enough time for the ship to change course at least a little!
I have asked about ds's spelling words already this year; just noted to the teacher that he knew the list when he got them and asked if assessing was continuing and whether he could get more challenging words (if results from this indicated a bump up).
I got a pretty specific answer about a couple areas he had a problem with on the 1st assessment, which was good info, but I felt ok about my original statement which was: he knows these words already.
There is more assessing going on, and the teacher sounded very flexible, so I am feeling ok with this for now.
