Hi Mom2LA - my 7 year old ds (1st grade) has been saying almost the same thing since the novelty of seeing all his buddies the first 2 weeks of school wore off. He basically says "I know everything they're teaching me". I actually did talk to the teacher. She made a couple very minor changes and said she was going to do stuff she has dropped the ball on. DS would love to do science all day too!
Anyway - my only additional advice would be to have a plan B if talking to the teacher doesn't produce results! I think the no repitition needed thing is so hard in the regular classroom. You really have to make adjustments and assessments often with these kids. Standard curriculums are so spiraling.
We have had no luck with the teacher, principal, or district thus far. I do feel for our teacher. She has 26 kids in the class! We are seriously considering a school change or homeschool for next year.
