Belle - 1/2 days sound like a great option for now. That's great news. And great news about the qualifying for the acceleration and the gifted program too. Although they don't want to rock the boat too much, I would think that since it's so early in the year, changing sooner rather than later might be a better option. Just a thought.
We are going to try full days and hope it works (since I'm trying to go back to work). If not, 1/2 days were offered to us as an option already. The principal said the normal 1/2 day kindergarten is just the reading and math, but she told us we could switch to do 1/2 day with the rest of the stuff and do reading/math at home.
