Wow Cookie! Can we clone that 2nd grade teacher?? She sounds great!
But nice that you got a grade skip out of it. Where I am, kids can't be skipped (we don't do that anymore) and they have to learn the grade math curriculum - even for the congregated gifted classes. :-(
Well it isn't like his reading/language arts wasn't advanced too. But unless they got him high school novels to read they weren't going to meet those needs so he was happy enough to just do grade level stuff with the class and then read independently what he wanted to read. So the whole grade skip was great for both areas. I really wanted the second grade teacher to move up with him. She was THE BEST!
