Thx, CFK.
I especially like the approach of letting the child guide some of the direction.
Our school regularly brings up the question, "But what about the gaps?" From the constant review (spiraling) between 3rd, 4th & 5th, I'm not too worried about that.
Too their credit, the school has even contemplated bringing in a tutor to help with math when he goes beyond the elementary offering, acknowledging that the 5th & 6th grade teachers really aren't in a position to crack into to algebra & beyond.
