You will notice the number of entries I make begins to drastically drop off now. This semester I am taking Business Law, Business Systems, Composition and Literature, and Trigonometry II. So far, Trig is my favorite. I don't expect that to change! :-)
Ian has been tested to death over the course of the last week, and it has been ascertained that he is at the high end of the second grade. Instead of moving him into third, he is being placed in a group within his own classroom that will be given third grade reading and math. He is not the top student in his class, but he is in the top 5. His teacher has promised to keep him challenged, and I have assured her that I will be checking in with her regularly to see how and what he is doing, and to let her know if he is bored or overwhelmed.
Ian has already informed me that second grade is even easier than first, so I let her know - we must do something about this NOW. Both the principal and the teacher have assured me he will be challenged, so we will see how it goes. I do like the idea of challenging him within his own class, as long as they keep at it. The principal and I will be speaking on a regular basis also to keep tabs on Ian's progress, and if he does indeed need to be moved, he will be. Poor kid is going to be under a microscope, but with a little luck, he won't know it!
