Thanks ladies. smile I will wait and see how this month goes. I asked Buggy if she thought her new school was harder, easier, or about the same, and she answered "I wouldn't say I'm struggling, but it's at the right level for me now." That's the best indicator for me, at least for now. At her other Montessori school, they were wanting to keep her with her age-mates. We were faced with either advocating for her there, or finding a school that extended further up in grades. We chose the latter.--Celia
