Thanks everyone for the thoughts.
Alexs Mom: So far he seems to be doing okay with the stamina and executive function aspects of the second grade assignments. The fine motor skills ARE definitely behind the average 2nd grader but not to any extreme. We have been working on getting him to write smaller and faster but he's not so far behind that it causes real problems.
Aculady: I guess I don't know why skip to 2nd and not go all the way to 3rd with his 2nd grade class mates. Never really occured to me, I guess??? Like I said, this is just something that he brought up to us recently and the 2nd grade with a subject skip was the idea he had. They do have other classes (like Chinese) that I'm not sure if he NEEDS a skip in. Although I think he would probably catch up just fine after 1 skip in Chinese I wonder if 2 might be two much?
