[quote=Anonymous]If your child is reading pretty well and seems kind of "old" for his preschool class, then I think you'll be fine sending him to first grade. There's nothing wrong with sending him to kindergarten either, though. The biggest adjustment will be learning to do the lunch line and where to go afterschool (i.e. bus, child care van, etc), and some of the other procedural things that kindergarten teachers are used to supervising, but by first grade, they assume the kids know what to do. Even in VA, there used to be kids who went to private K and then started public school in first grade.... (back when kinderg. was half day at some schools) so it is not totally unheard of for a first grader not to know all the procedures. But, I think that will likely be your biggest hurdle. It seems like they spend about 6 weeks just getting acclimated in the beginning of each year, so the academic stuff probably will be o.k.[/quote]
