Thank you all for sharing your experiences. His teacher talked with DH after school today, and she has decided on her own to switch her afternoon schedule so he can go to 2nd grade math. I had planned to suggest that as a possible solution, based on DeeDee's post, and am really glad that she proposed that solution on her own. I honestly didn't think the school would allow a schedule change to accommodate the needs of just one student.
I realize from all of your posts that it would be a stretch for him to be in 3rd grade math, either now or mid-year, because of his reading level and because of the heavy language focus of the Everyday Math curriculum. I feel much more comfortable with the coming year in 2nd grade math after reading your experiences. Thank you!
