DS6 had his last day of kindergarten yesterday, and we found out (informally) that he will be accelerated to 2nd next year. Yay! We had a meeting with the school team to discuss what we should do with DS6 next year, and they recommended 1st grade with pullouts for 3rd grade reading and math. We felt he would be better off in 2nd so the baseline level of teaching was closer to his level, and the differentiation wouldn't be so extreme. So we asked them to fill out an Iowa Acceleration Scale form (which I had, because another fabulous poster here shared her extra forms). The school team got the same score that I did, in the excellent candidate range, so I'm happy we're on the same page.

We don't know yet about placement or other details, but I'll keep you posted.
