Cathy, I'm sorry to hear that the private school K teacher was so unwelcoming! It would have been nice if the administrators had checked her attitude about it before moving your DS in there. So much of school depends on each individual teacher, it seems like it is all a crap shoot. (Which drives me crazy since I am a planner!) I am glad that his move to 1st seemed to go more smoothly. Did he adjust pretty quickly to 1st once he was there? How long did you wait before speaking with his public school K teacher about your DS? Did she even notice that he was more advanced on her own? I often wonder about that since my DD's preK teachers didn't notice anything since my DD never volunteered anything due to shyness. If I hadn't talked to them nothing would have changed...
Kerry, I just noticed your location, we are in CO too. We are in the northwestern Denver metro area. I will have to check my district's requirements...maybe our students only have to count to 32 by the end of K as well!
So I am hearing differing opinions regarding when to approach the school about my DD. I can see pros and cons each way. Would anyone else care to weigh in?
Thanks everyone!
Dawn
