As we're already 10% through 4th grade -- and counting -- I can see yet another year zipping past without any real change.
As of today:
He's working @ his own pace in math & reading. (Yay!!)
He's far beyond grade level for spelling, and arguably so for writing & language arts.
Science is mostly review, as 3rd grade teacher used the same (4th grade) text.
The only "new" content is in Social Studies, which teachers/admin seem really concerned about him missing. (It's about his home state... I think he can catch himself up on that ok.)
He knocked his achievement testing out of the park, and while I know that the "grade equivalancies" don't mean "move him to such-and-such grade," they've got to strongly suggest (along w/YTD performance) that he does not belong in this classroom.
With DYS advocacy assistance, if any (hoping/praying), still several weeks away -- should we push for a skip to 5th now or wait for the professional advice?
