My hope is that he will be able to do things with the kindergartners in areas where his skill is age level (handwriting, fun stuff), but that he'll get to go to other grades for reading/math. Kindergarten itself will be a huge shock for DS in terms of how long it is, and I know they have more breaks/fun stuff than in 1st, so I really can't imagine him going straight to 1st.
Yeah, sitting that long for ours would be hard as well. that sounds like that would be a good idea to split up a little if possible. I considered that. I even thought he could do morning K and afternoon 1st. But I think they would say no to that, and I think it would be hard on him. I would rather him know that he was in K and doing some harder work, then inbetween grades. (or maybe be in first, doing older work). I guess the thought of him missing K makes me sad though. My little boy missing out going to K? No picture of him waiting at the bus stop? (of course I think we would drive him anyway, but that's not the point). And then one less year with him before he leaves the house. that's sad to me.
