I'm a bit late, because DD6 started school last Monday, but I thought I'd chime in.
I was dreading the first day of school because we've moved states and DD's entering gr 2 due to a grade skip last year mid year. We know virtually nothing about the school she's going to except that they have full day gt program starting in gr 3.
After a week of school I can say that my dread has not gone away, but has stayed right where it was. Her reading book is almost identical to the one she had last year (it was easy then, so it is going to be even easier now.
) The math she's brought home is also the same as she did last year.
Science is a "special" subject so they only have it 1 day a week, and at the moment they are learning about saying no to violence. Which, I know is important, but it is definitely not science.
She has already complained that 2nd grade is too easy and that she really doesn't like her new school much.
We have a possible change in the future though that hopefully will be better. (More on that once I get more info.)
