Hi everyone!
I thought I'd reach out to you guys who have already been through this. My son is in public school Kindergarten and his teacher is very helpful and supportive so far. She gives him extra work but it is still too easy and just doesn't have time to work with him one on one. There are no gifted services until 3rd-4th grade in our school system.
I suggested subject acceleration - first for math (maybe 2nd grade to start) and then language arts if he is comfortable with accelerated math. She seems to like the idea if we can work it out schedule wise.
Questions:
1. Any advice for us with regard to communication with his teacher, principal, AG teacher?
2. He is on the emotionally and socially immature side. However his teacher seems to think he is very mature (can't believe we're talking about the same kid) and won't have any problems holding is own and fitting into an older classroom. I have my doubts ... any advice in this area?
3. Advice regarding timing? Is mid semester okay?
Thanks in advance!!
