He is home with me every afternoon. Unfortunately, he doesn't always get the attention he deserves. My work tends to bleed into the afternoons and my DD requires a lot of supervision/support to get through her mounds of homework.
His teacher already emailed me back--yay--and says he seems happy and she doesn't see any social issues. In response to my saying that he seemed frustrated with the classwork, she commented that she has noticed that he is very advanced academically but that she is, of course, required to do the state-mandated curriculum. However, she said she has some math and science centers she can offer him when he's done with his work or in place of the usual centers. I know he is "over" some of the centers (eg, puzzles), so I think this is a good idea. We'll see.
I asked him if he wants me to teach him more things, and he said yes. I had him do some counting by 4s and 6s and talked about how that relates to mutiplication. He was easily able to count by 6s up past 60. I hadn't realized how good his mental math is getting. I do feel concerned about getting him even further ahead, though. I confess, I have intentionally avoided teaching my DD math so she has something to learn at school.
