I was hoping we could have a starting K thread! DD doesn't start until the end of August. I go back and forth being excited and worried school will be a terrible joke... it's just impossible to know until we get more familiar with the school, which is a gifted focus but open lottery school. Full day but homeschool all Fridays and other days. My daughter sounds a lot like your son! DH is convinced she'll need a skip but K is a good start bc she's not done formal preschool. AND there's a maternity leave sub for the first two months
so it'll take a while! The idea of the assessment the week before school makes me excited and sick--will it mean someone else to get my DD and really partner with? Or DD get all perfectionistic/not answer or will the stuff be aimed so low they don't even know? As a teacher myself I like to hear from parents but I'm planning on being pretty patient, just going to school will be plenty for DD for a bit.
