Last night was Cole's Kindergarten Class Visitation. Mrs. King informed us of a lot, including that HOMEWORK will start today. Homework is serious stuff in Kindergarten!
Mrs. King also told us that she can already tell that Cole is "very bright". She said they've been learning patterns in math (ie: square/circle/square/circle). She had just mentioned to the students, in passing, that you can label the patterns "ABAB" or "ABCABC". Then, Cole went back to his seat and made patterns like instructed. Then, he took it upon himself to give each one of his patterns the appropriate pattern labels ("ABAB").
Cole has already mentioned that K is "very easy". I think Hutch and I are fine with him thinking it's easy as long as he's not bored (ie: behavior problems). Giftedness isn't tested until 2nd grade, so we've got a long road of thinking school is easy:)
Of course, part of us has to wonder whether Cole is truly gifted or if he's just smart. He has ALWAYS picked up on something the 1st time he's taught it (except disciplinary measures:)).
