[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My first grader just started school for the first time at MCPS. Prior to this year he was in a private Montessori-style school for pre-K and kindergarten. He seems happy enough at school so far, but every day he talks about how easy the work is and how he wants more of a challenge. For example, he's been reading some simple chapter books for a while now and the class is focusing on letter sounds right now.

I know the school year is very early and everyone is getting settled, but at what point would you reach out to his teacher and mention the fact that he's bored? [/quote]

Why can't you just send him back to the Montessori? Sounds like you've given your child every advantage so he's well prepared for school. This is a good! But if you don't like it and he does not like it send him back to private. Like other said, don't confuse a well-prepped kid with parents with enough money to send him to a Montessori with thinking your child is special and gifted.
Things will shake out more in 3rd grade. Late readers will catch up to early readers and by 4th the really bright students v. the really well prepped ones will be more obvious. MCPS and some other districts start the gifted magnets in 4th for a reason. [/quote]
