[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A few points. 1. Your kid's class should have two adults working in the room. Is there no IA? Additionally, if there are kids with special needs, the SPED teacher should be in the room pushing in for stations, etc. 2. Lunch is nuts. A lot of it is getting the kids to become more self-sufficient. It's a huge leap and going to be difficult until around Thanksgiving. What you are describing is on the crazy side of normal, but K kids need to learn. 3. Teaching your kid to advocate is crazy important. It's only going to get worse. [/quote] OP here and this is good advice. There is an IA (I just met her today - she’s wonderful) and DD seems to really like her so I’ll encourage her to reach out to IA if she needs something. I’ve heard lunch is bonkers and I’m hoping it, and the rest of the chaos (like the bus, etc.) evens out as the year goes on. We’re going to give this a fair shot, but it’s helpful for me to hear what’s within the realm of normal and what’s not. I’m sad because I had a kid who blossomed at school until now, and I don’t want to wreck a good start or make her hate school. I also don’t want to jump the gun and make any crazy changes too fast. Thanks again, all. [/quote]
