[quote=Anonymous]There's not really English in MCPS ES unless you're talking about ESOL, which I assume you're not (if you are, request that he be removed from the program--there's a form you can sign, and he will be reassigned "level 10" and not receive services).

If you mean English as in reading, then supplement" by encouraging him to read books on his own that interest him, and have conversations with him about what he's reading, what he thinks might happen next, what does he think of the characters, etc etc.

If you mean English as in writing, there's always more and more detail he can add to his writing.  Get a blank journal for him and encourage him to write during his down time.  You can find prompts online, or just let him free write about whatever's on his mind.  You can write letters back and forth to each other, etc.

I would bring it up at conference time with the teacher and take a look at his work.  Maybe it's "too easy" because he's not trying his best and is capable of doing more.  [/quote]
