DD4 (almost 5, as she reminds us frequently) is starting 1st on the 1st and will likely get extra acceleration in reading. DS7 will also get a +1 acceleration in reading.

She delights in telling people that she's skipping kindergarten, even though we haven't really made much of it. I think she's pretty chuffed with herself for passing the tests. Reactions have been quite positive overall; I think her very young age and cheery innocence about the whole thing helps. She also only tells people she knows and likes, which probably helps, too.

Does anyone else's little one talk about grade-skips?
