Accelloration and Above grade expectations?
I'm not sure I can really even ask this question properly so please be patient.
I have a 3rd Grader who I think could understand the 5th Grade science. I think he would be excited to be in this class. I'm not sure he would meet the normal 5th grade expectations. When he needs to do writing the physical writing of more than a sentence at a time in cursive would be bothersome. He does not know proper sentense structure yet. He has done just a little writing in school but nothing longer than a pargraph. What other considerations are there in a science class? Would they be worried about handling of chemicals and fire? How would you know a child is ready? Science is a passion and he reads and watches some at adult level.
