We visited my brother (he teaches K 1~3) last week and he also said our 4 year old was quite smart. My brother asked my son some addition questions: "I give you 5 M&Ms, then I give you 2 more, how many do you have now?" To his surprise, my son didn't recount all the M&Ms to know the answer was 7. He counted 5 (what he already has) then 6 & 7. Some of my brother's first graders will recount from 1 to 7. I think we will let him "slack off" and skip Pre K this fall but enroll him as early as allowed next year in Kindergarten.
