Third Grade?

Today is Mary's first official day as a third grader. Just before Christmas break we completed the testing to have her accelerated. We weren't sure what that would mean - at first we had anticipated a split day between 2nd and 3rd grade - but the schedules of the two grades are completely opposite and made it impossible for a partial day split to work successfully. As a result we decided to go ahead with a complete grade acceleration in hopes that Mary will finish the year in third grade and then progress to fourth grade in the fall. This morning was a little bumpy - but I am hopeful of a good report when I pick her up this afternoon.....more details to follow.
