It sounds like they are flexible with the plan especially this is new to the school for next year (I think I may have something to do with this since I advocated for my son wink ). So I think we may have some room for adjustments.

I also think it's good to fill in the gaps but how much gap do you need to fill? I got the common core requirements from the district website. I am thinking maybe I can have my son go through the topics on Khan Academy or something like that to fill in the gaps for 2nd grade during the summer. If he tests out of the grade, I would still wish him getting into the 3rd grade challenged math. I now worry that if we don't give him enough challenge, he may get into the mentality that everything is easy and doesn't need hard work. He's already showing that with practicing piano. He thinks everything should be easy but piano needs hard work so he doesn't like to practice.
