Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy DS5 got himself into K early

DS5 has been trying to go to K since turning five. It is in the same school as his preschool and next to his older brother's 3-8 classroom. Well he talked the teachers into the idea and started half day K last week. He did great apparently. DS8 checked in on him and said he seemed to know what he was doing. It's a K-2 classroom so he'll be there a while.

That's great!

This is so wonderful! He might be one of the earliest self advocates ever! :-)

There you go, he cut down your advocacy efforts for you by speaking up for himself Good job, DS of KJP!

He's very pleased with himself. He is my teacher pleasing hard worker so I think he'll do very well. He's also the competitive one so he already sizing himself up against the K-2 kids. It'll be interesting to see what grade level he actually works in by the end of the year.

Just an update on DS5 -

His K teacher says he is doing great. He is a good listener and concentrates on his work. She said they're just going to let him set the pace and provide new material as necessary.
