[quote=Anonymous]Odd. We get random fundation sheets for practice, but really my kid's teacher stressed that she only expected 20 minutes of reading (parent to kid or kid to parent either was fine). What I found jarring about first grade so far is the independence expectation and the behavior expectations. The kids spend a lot of time going through stations in groups while the teacher is running an assessment station. The lack of the teaching assistant is very, very different. We were a bit spoiled last year. DD was in an inclusion K class so her class had a teacher, aide, SPED teacher, and a SPED teaching aide for a class of 22 kids. Even non-SPED kids like mine got so much individual attention. We aren't in one this year and it's a big difference![/quote]
