Hi locounu - I agree with the other posters who are saying that a teacher who is willing to work with your DS is a huge positive. We had a similar experience last year with our DS5 in kindergarten. For us, kindergarten made sense because although DS was reading and doing math grade levels ahead of K, he refused to learn to write and spell, so kindy was a good place. Also, there is a lot more play time in kindergarten, which he now misses in 2nd (yes, he skipped 1st).

It sounds like your school already gets just how far ahead your DS is. We struggled with this for half the year, and our DS didn't start getting much appropriate stuff until January or Feb., when they let him take the MAP test with the 2nd graders. Then, the gifted teacher compacted the 2nd grade math and basically tutored our DS separately. She also came in during our equivalent of breakaway time and worked on higher thinking skills with DS and a few other kids. For reading, the librarian and the classroom teacher helped to make sure he picked appropriate books, and the classroom teacher tried to differentiate throughout the school day with harder questions peppered in. Our DS was still underchallenged, but it got so much better when he got math at his level, which he loved.

Some specifics I might ask for - pretesting out of units and ability to continue working at his level. Regular revisits of the plan (monthly?) to see if things are working. Consider EPGY for individually paced math/reading. Some sort of plan for next year that includes the possibility of whole grade acceleration, with use of the Iowa Acceleration Scale (you could pull that out now too - if they see what a great candidate he is for a skip, maybe they'll reconsider now). (Our school offered 1st grade with pullouts for 3rd grade math and reading. We felt that was too much of a gap and wanted 2nd, and once they did the IAS, they agreed.)

Good luck!
