To Go to He Wedding or Not!

Ok, so one of my close friends daughter is getting married in Oct. We have been friends all through high school. The problem lies in the fact that we have our family (cousins and all) Halloween camping weekend that same weekend. It is a super fun weekend with pumpkin rolling contest, trick-or-treating from camp site to camp site (we also decorate ours for the contest which takes at least a month to put everything together, with the help from all the family members), and many other activities that are set up around the camp grounds.

Should My 5 1/2 Year Old Grand-daughter Repeat SK Because of Her Speech Help!!

My daughter called yesterday, and advised me that between my grand daughter's teacher and speech pathologist, they have decided that she should repeat SK. She is very good academically, but somehow is struggling with her speech. She has been seeing a speech pathologist for about 6 months now. I have my grand daughter for the summer, and plan to work with her on her speech, along with having her learn to read and write. My question is, should it be suggested that we put my grand daughter into grade 1 and see how she progresses for a few...
