Just checking in..
How is first grade going for everyone?
EJ is bored with Math. Our district uses Everyday Math . Domino dot and tick tally counting just isn't doing it for him. He said challenge math is too easy as well. Our district just adopted guided math this year. It is not like guided reading where grade level doesn't matter. He is with all first graders (in a multi grade 1/2 classroom). He is bored. His reading has taken off. He wasn't an early reader and started kinder at a reading level of 'd'. He is now in the classroom at an 'o' but at home is reading 'q'. He is in the top 2nd grade guided reading group and for intervention/enrichment he is also in the highest second grade group (they pull these kids from all 6 classrooms).
DD's third grade teacher gave me 2 packets for him... multiplication and division. He looked at them and said "too esy". At least she tried..I am going to ask her for some geometry packets and fraction packets I think.
