To be specific were a 2.8 9 months later 3.1 and I have found 3 other moms who are in our grade who have similar #'s and are also concerned with the lack of growth.
We are all planning on discussing this matter with our teachers at our upcoming portfolio meetings.
And we are hoping that our comments will get changes made for next years 1st graders.
I wonder if you'd be better off saying to the 4th grade teacher: 'I have this vauge feeling that DD needs a bigger challenge in reading next year.
I do think that is the best approach to help my child as an individual, and I may end up on that road, but first I want to focus on bigger picture, What changes need to be made at my school to help kids like mine? What can we do to promote these changes?
