It's funny ds6 did well at church preschool. He loved to play, read to the class, and run. His teachers loved him. Kindergarten was disastrous. I think he really started to wrap his head around that he was different or maybe the other kids saw him as different. Rigid teacher- active, highly verbal child- didn't work. This year is better, because teacher is kinder, has more tolerance for my sons personality. He is a pleaser, so he always seeks approval from his teacher. Yet, still no friends at school.
Ds3.5 (at the same church preschool older ds went to) is less obvious about his knowledge (likes to say "I don't know", but if playing a game can add, spell). He told me the other day that he's only kinda smart- lol. Yet, he's more creative about getting what he wants. Ex: he played sick and refused to attend music and Spanish, so the teachers let him stay in the classroom. When I asked him about this, he said, "I like my teachers better than my friends."
