[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks for the great suggestions!  I have to admit, I feel nervous already b/c DD's school is doing assessments this week and DD has no idea how to read.

One more thing- she was adopted as an infant.  My husband is Caucasian and DD and I are not (our younger child is bio and is mixed), so it's not a particularly conspicuous adoption.  I don't mind sharing this with her teachers, but only if there's a need to do so.  Thoughts?[/quote]

Unless you really, really have to do so, don't tell.  While well meaning, most adults say the most ridiculous things to kids about adoption and you are better off not having to deal with it. BTDT with a K teacher who told me "well I have family and friends who have adopted so I know all about adoption" after talking to my child about parents "paying" for kids.  I countered with "I have friends who are black, so I know all about being black."  We ended up glaring at each other but she got it and never mentioned adoption again.[/quote]
