I think he's okay socially. He's a social chameleon and is well-liked, though the "I don't want to run" issue is concerning (we do need to get some medical stuff checked out). He can adjust his play, unlike DD, who spent a lot of time talking to the teacher in K and 1. Actually, she didn't really have friends at school till she moved to the gifted magnet, where she is now a total social butterfly (just putting that in there because it may be of interest to others!)
r. It just seems wrong to ask a child who knows her sums up to twenty as well as any adult to do a workbook full of counting and tracing numbers with an entire page devoted to illustrating how 2+1=3. But, that is kindergarten, right? And, that is where she is at except for the mental math.
Yes, it is kindergarten. We have BTDT with DD, and it was tough on her. I don't think it will mess your daughter's skills up, but it may drive her crazy.
I told DS that his teacher will give him extra math and science work. His face lit up with joy, and he hugged me. I hope it happens (but I told DS on purpose, because he will bring it up!)
He really liked doing those assessments. After we finished, I said "Is that enough work for today?" and he said, "Yes! That was fun!"
