I never thought of getting her tested to see if she could already go to kindergarted early. Around here I know they strongly discourage that and even encourage holding back kids with summer birthdays. Preschool will probably be the solution around here.

In MI the cutoff date is 12/1 and my fall bday kids have gone to kdg when turning 6. We have a pre-k here called young 5's designed for kids with fall birthdays. My 2 oldest went to that and this fall Laurel is going to young 5's even though she tested ready for kindergarten. Her birthday is Oct 26th. I'm thankful we have this class; it's at the school and is on the same schedule/bus as the kindgergarten. My 2 boys were really reserved when they started school. I think they benefited from that class socially more than academically. (just thought I'd add my 2cents) That cherry "dessert" looks inedible. My kids have their picnics next Friday. I'm planning to go, although not for the food :)Sue Hillnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050220296416126361.post-68211256130278645162011-05-25T14:25:19.682-07:002011-05-25T14:25:19.682-07:00Good thing we're not there if Phoebe goes earl...Good thing we're not there if Phoebe goes early...Whitney would be so jealous!!

I had two August boys who were definitely ready for school but when it came to driving and getting jobs they were always bummed that their friends had licenses and could work, etc almost a year before they could. I love having Lewis at the old end of his grade...sure makes homework time easier! :)Kellynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050220296416126361.post-33732105818285494112011-05-25T08:45:12.235-07:002011-05-25T08:45:12.235-07:00I'm with Corinne.

One of my older girls was just telling me I need to get to the little kids school more often and take pictures like I used to do for them so I guess it's something they really remember.
