Mama Brag

I just got back from parent/teacher conferences and can't resist a little shameless mama brag. Henry is doing great but they are at a loss for what to do with him for reading. They've been doing an assessment and it seems that he is reading at somewhere between a 3rd and 4th grade level. In Kindergarten. Since she's never dealt with it before she is teaming up with the school reading coach and gifted program coordinator to figure out what the heck to do with him. They don't want to move him to 3rd or 4th grade for reading because we don't think it would be comfortable for him socially, but we don't want him to have to sit through Kindergarten level reading activities, either. Tricky, tricky. I told her I'd be happy if all he learned this whole year was that making a mistake was not the end of life as we know it, but I think she has more luck with the reading thing...
