[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC's school had the AART teacher frequently in the classroom (or so it sounded from my DC's comments). I know my DC was doing 1st grade math even though he is in K and scored very high on the reading assessment. I got the level 2 letter for next year.

Personally, I think my DC is smart but not above average. I do not spend extra time on education at home right now. My DC always loved math (as do I) so for now, the interest DC has in it may be leading to DC doing well in it. Also my DC is very close to the cutoff (October baby) so DC is the 2nd oldest in the class. Some may disagree but I do feel that extra year of preschool ($$- I work FT so this was a necessity) does give an extra edge as well.

I'm just happy DC enjoyed the first year of kindergarten and likes going to school. Hopefully that will set a positive foundation going fwd [/quote]

Not to hijack, but was your October DC bored?  We are worried about that in AkZg next year for our early October DC.[/quote]

DC never said he was bored but I also think the teacher taught the groups based on knowledge base. I think DC loved making new friends, going to lunch (picking out his own food), recess, etc.  I think the first year is so new and exciting, that the school work part of it becomes secondary to the child. The social aspect had all the excitement.

I do have late born Dec DC that I do think will be bored especially being the 2nd child. The 2nd child seemed to pick up on things quicker having an older sibling to learn from. Both DCs are easy going at school / preschool so I think even the 2nd DC will just go with the flow and enjoy the social aspect as well. [/quote]
