[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi! I'm really just looking for advice from all you experienced parents on what to about a 1st grader who at the top of the class. He is enrolled at ACPS where TAG has been dismantled. They actually have not even tested advanced academics yet. Who knows of the school ever will... I'm not sure what to do with him and have been scared to teach higher level math directly to him for fear he will be more bored than he already is in class. Although he regularly pushes ahead to learn math concepts on his own. He's reading somewhere between a 3rd- 5thth grade reading level and somehow has at least an hour of free reading times in class because he finishes class work so quickly so comes home with his library chapter book already read. What should I be doing with him? Am I doing a diseevice to him by not pushing him academicly? And how would I even do this outside of a private school? Are there recoembed extra curriculars?  Would private school even be equipped to differentiate learning for him? Advice please.[/quote]Get him on Beast Academy (start at the beginning of level 2 at most). A private school that doesn't teach him any math and lets him either read or go through math on his own would still be better than the public school situation.

For English, you can get the book Deconstructing Penguins and the Poodle level of Michael Clay Thompson.[/quote]
