It's possible things could go well for him without intervention from you. I had sort of hoped the same, although it did not work out perfectly. K was good, he had only a 1/2 day, and the teacher was sweet and emphasized play and learn techniques.
I suspected my ds was gifted, but figured we'd go the regular route and see what happened. His teachers noticed his creativity and strong desire to draw pretty much everything he was learning. Certainly he did have stuff to learn, frog life cycle, more math, reading as he was not reading before school. He started to really dislike school in 1st however, and by second grade I was trying to get it sorted out. He was getting excellent grades and behaving but homework was a bear ("boring!!") and I think the level of repetition in his classes was just too much for him to stay engaged. He doodled a LOT.
Anyway, since going round the bend getting him assessed by the school for a 2nd grade gt program, and again for a 4th grade program, he has tested as at least mg. I think if he needs more challenge later to stay excited about school, we will cross that bridge when we come to it.
In short, I guess I'd recommend keeping an eye and ear on him and it sounds like you will be doing that. Also, weigh whether he already knows much of k material, or much greater than that...?
