We had a meeting with Pete's 1st grade teacher to come up with some ideas that will challenge him in class. One of the things we realized is that they have a mandate to do several hours of literacy work in the morning, but Pete was tested as reading at a 5th grade level.
The first thing Pete started to do is bring home advanced books for reading practice. They label the books. I think when the book is rated 4.6, that means it is about right for a student in the middle of 4th grade.
The second thing Pete has been doing is special projects in class. Sometimes he does an activity by himself on the computer and then presents it to the class. Mrs. Vinson also said that he can do special projects at home and then bring them in and present them to the class.

Below is a valentine he worked on last week. He said he wrote it all by himself and typed it and did the artwork on the computer.
