Thankfully, our school received permission to open up a full day k-4 program that runs the same schedule as the upper grades. We have lower enrollment at our school this year, so an extra classroom for these kids was not a problem. Also, our principal was kind enough to allow our little dude in without the lengthy registration process since our family has been a part of the school for a few years now. He has had a fabulous k-4 teacher and assistant, and we love them dearly. He's also been moving to a regular kindergarten room for reading groups each day, and he loves the greater challenge of material (and also getting to be in a group with our next door neighbor!). A few weeks ago, I asked to meet with his k-4 teacher and the kindergarten teacher he has reading groups with. I wanted to discuss next year and throw around some ideas to keep him challenged and excited about learning. We were all very excited that Rayzer was given permission to complete the last quarter of school in the kindergarten room, then move on to 1st grade in the fall. He is very driven academically, and loves all the challenge that his older siblings send his way. We have a fine group of 1st grade teachers, and I'm so glad we've gotten to know most all of them well.
Rayzer has been most delighted that he does not have to take rest time anymore (he needed it at the beginning of the year, but after Christmas break, he decided is was more fun to try to be sneaky during rest time than to actually rest). He is also excited that he gets to have lunch in the cafeteria now with the older children, since the k-4 class had their lunches in their room. They are working on money in math, and he now gets to be with his neighbor friend the whole day! God has been so good in providing this opportunity!
