He is now begging for the 1st grade book [...]
So...would you move forward with the first grade book and continue to let him work once a week (he would do more but I try to switch our quiet time routine up each day). Should I let him do more? Less? If and when he finishes that do I just keep going up as he wants too?
DH thinks that all of this is just great becuase no matter what DS is going to be bored at school....but I worry to some extent too about doing too much.
I'm with your DH; let him run. IME (first and, by impression, second hand) it's easier to get a child accommodated who is a long way ahead than one who is barely ahead, because it makes the teacher less doubtful that it's needed. And if your DS is already adding with carrying and is desperate to do more, and has a full year to go before he even starts K, I agree, he's going to need accommodations when he does start!
That's a pragmatic argument, but I'm also of the opinion that when you have a child who wants to learn something, it's morally right to help them do it.
