Thanks LMom. Actually the centers take place when she is in the 2nd grade room so she doesn't even see them, she just knows they are going on. When she is doing 2nd grade math the other kids are having instruction in 1st grade math. I know she just wants to play, but am wondering is there a maturity that is not there yet that would make the grade skip difficult. Academically she is ready, she plays well with the older kids, they like her, size wise she is big for her age, social maurity is there, but this desire for free time to play is concerning that I may be "cheating" her out of something.
