[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a first grade teacher in MC and yes, I am seeing some of what you describe. But, I will say by providing my children with: a solid routine, proper scaffolds, vocab, language to use to express themselves, and high expectations, they have made huge gains already! Yes, some come to me not knowing but 1 letter or how to identify/write their name. Some are quite advanced and definitely ready for first grade. I have a huge job and I am equipped and ready to tackle this challenge to the best of my ability. Negativity or anything other than a can-do attitude should not be teaching kids at this time.[/quote] You sound like my child’s first grade teacher. She is awesome! I hope you have a great year. Great teachers are priceless. I wish we could do more for them. [/quote]
