The year has worked pretty well for DS6 (1st grade). Thanks to an amazing, understanding teacher who has been advocating for him. We seem to have the principal on our side now which is nice going in to 2nd grade starting over with a new teacher.
Has has been doing EPGY math instead of the math curriculum and we just got a math teacher at school to sit with him and tutor him while he does it. So far, I have been doing it but it seems it is getting to the point where I am not capable of explaining it to him properly anymore.
He has been getting to do other work in reading/spelling class all through the year. But just recently he was pulled out of those classes completely and goes to a separate room where he works on his writing, worksheets etc. I sit with him 2 days for one period and almost everyday the 5th grade reading instructor comes in for the second period and works with him. He is doing different spelling words but still takes the class spelling test every week, along with the words he is learning.
So overall, very good. We hit some bumps along the way but were able to figure out how to change things to make it pleasant for him. Keeping fingers crossed for a great new year as well...
