That's wonderful that the 1st grade teacher is very receptive!! yay for awesome teachers!!


Hmm... Now I'm wondering if I should check out 1st grade more at our school. DS5 is in K as well. He's getting hardly any differentiation (he gets challenge work but not always and only 1st grade lvl for the most part).

I just don't see how they could/would work with him next year based on what I've heard from them. He's currently reading somewhere 3rd-5th grade lvl (I need to ask them to reevaluate that) and doing math at a 2nd-3rd grade lvl. In class they are still working on basic sight words and the last few letters as well as counting up to 30.

We're waiting on a full eval (supposed to be completed by mid April) before deciding what we're doing next year. I guess I will see if I can't check out 1st grade a bit.
