Thanks Kerry, what you said made a lot of sense. I did talk with her in more detail today after school and learned that some of the things that make her not like splitting up the day is the lack transferring back and forth. Sometimes the 2nd grade teacher forgets to send her back and then my DD misses lunch with her class so she needs to take her lunch tray and have lunch in her classroom or worse yet at recess. It is this splitting up the day that I don't like for her and I can see now that she doesn't like either. I really hope the school will hop on the bandwagon for full grade acceleration next school year. My DD is a back and forth on whether she would like to be in the 2nd grade for the whole day now or not. She does want to go to 3rd next year. Its rather perplexing.
