Above average

Dylan,

we had a parent/teacher conference yesterday. As your teachers walked us through your portfolio of work they explained that in several areas, like reading and math, you are performing at the level typical of a five yr old in their program.

We talked about our options -- because of your birth date -- to either use next year as your kindegarten year or to keep you in this program for two more years before sending you on to first grade. Our current inclination is to do the latter. Our primary concern with that plan is being able to find a first grade classroom where you will be able to continue learning on your current trajectory and not get bored working on material you've already mastered.

It is a good problem to have.

Dad
