I'm finding you late, but I'd love to join this group as well. Great idea JJsMom. Glad to hear your little one had such a good first day.

DS5 starts K Aug. 31. I'm very nervous that he's so far ahead of most of the other kids that he'll get ignored/not have any reading partners, etc. Do you think that's necessary? Our school has lots of kids enter K who don't yet know letters, so wide variety of skill levels.

DS7 is at same school, 1 year accel. He's happy. But DS5 is reading somewhere in 2nd grade level already, best I can tell, and is about 1 year accel. in math. Have never had him tested so will be interesting to see what teacher has to say. I'm kinda worried the K teachers won't even have books at his level in the classroom (something DS7's 1st grade teacher tipped me off to in June).

I just keep reminding myself that he's gotten this far learning with me, so even if K is a bit of a throwaway year, he'll be fine. Can you tell I'm nervous! ;-)
