I have the opportunity to go into the classroom to visit and observe every Tuesday morning. I haven't done this yet because I want to give ds some time to just get used to being there without me, but I think next week I will try to spend some time there. The teacher is aware of our concerns,and she feels he is definitely challenged. I know it's going to take him some time to get used to feeling challenged and knowing what to do in that environment. It's like a darned if you do...darned if you don't situation trying to find the middle ground between too little challenge and too much challenge. Hopefully it's just an adjustment period. I'm just worried about missing out on another great opportunity we have for next year. But like they say, I'm a firm believer in "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!" I'd much rather have a good fit now and stick with it. Do you think 5 months is enough time to make a judgement? If it seems clear that ds is very unhappy at the end of the year, I'm inclined to move him, but I don't want to jump the gun if all he needs is more time to adjust.
