DD5 has just started school, loves it - they love her, long may it last!
She has been saying that she is too distracted to learn because of classroom noise and too many beautiful colours. She is extremely visual spacial, the teacher knows this but I'm pretty sure she can't do too much to accommodate. The kids don't have assigned seating and can't dull down the room.
Any ideas on how to help? The teacher seems receptive and we will get an IEP in September but even then I'm not sure how they can accommodate this. At this stage we don't believe she has a 2nd e, just a learning pref. I'm mostly concerned because our schools are moving toward the "modern learning" style which advocates for super classrooms of up to 60 kids (poss more) with roaming teachers. Kids get to learn in a way that suits them and most parents I know love the idea but I know it will be a nightmare situation for DD who wants silence to learn.
I know some of this is learning to get along but at the same time I want to give her some coping skills as I can't see the world changing for her on this one!
