rwilk Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 For anyone curious, the meeting this week with the 1st grade teacher went fabulous. She claims that they do very little in the way of academics and that what they do do is focused on enrichment, not the 1st grade standards (e.g. this week they learned about the different cloud types and painted pictures and made models of the clouds from cotton balls). She uses class time mostly to teach songs, social games, manners, rule following, turn taking, classroom etiquette, crafts, working cooperatively in groups, etc. It appears that I'll just need to give her a few busy-work type sheets for just in case, but she may very well not need them since, being the parent of a GT kid herself, she has a great deal of experience in expanding on topics for kids who need more. He's also welcome to bring in his own books for read-to-self time. It sounds like next year will be awesome fun, and DS#2 will get much needed practice not interrupting, closing the door when he goes to the bathroom, and following directions. So glad to hear the meeting went well! Here's hoping for a great 1st grade year for you guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
