Albs, glad to have you with us.

And JJsMom, great news about the acceleration! I'm so happy that hurdle went so smoothly for you! It sounds like you've got a great thing going.

I wanted to report that kindergarten started this week for dd5. The good news is - she loves it. I can't say much about the academics because I believe they are still assessing some kids for reading/math groups (if the parents didn't bring them in over the summer).

I do feel good about dd's teacher. The word on the street is that she gets all the high level readers. A friend's child had this same teacher last year and was reading at a 5th grade level. So it sounds like we may have an appropriate reading placement for dd5. Now we'll just see about math... smile
