s familiar). I have put in a request for them to be separated in Kindergarten, and have been told for sure in Grade 1 (fall 2009), but no guarantees for this fall.
I do try to do separate activities for them at home, however having a husband who works all the time and trying to cope with their needs, when the twin (whichever one) asks to join in, I ask the other one if that's alright, and then we give permission to join.
I am a kindergarten teacher and have taught in some extremely difficult urban schools. I have seen pretty much everything. My first guess is the teacher is fairly new to teaching 5 and 6 year olds. I say that because, parents are not usually the source of the resolution to the problem. Any good K level teacher knows the answer lies within.
Firstly these kids are 5 and 6, and early Kindergartners to boot. Impulsivity and chattyness is par for the course.
The only other explanation that would makes sense, is that she is emotionally not ready for kindergarten. I should mention here that she is physically smaller than 95% of the kids in her grade and I have seen other kids her age trying to boss her around because she is smaller. Any advice is welcome.
Surley this can not be normal kindergarden behavior, but the school does not seem to think it is a big deal. We are now concerned for her saftey as well as her education. We do have the option to put her in a different school next year but is the evil we don't know worse than the evil we do? We are in the military and are scheduled to rotate next year.
Your school district has cutoff days for kindergarten. September is right at that point, and she would be the youngest in the class - not a good thing.
Wait a minute - just did the math. I think she needs to be 6, not 5 at that time. I would get her in preschool for at least one year, and possibly two depending on the preschool teacher's opinion.
Hi, I'm going through the same thing with my 4yo son in Kindergarten. Previously he'd played with boys when we attended play groups, but since he started Kindergarten in February, he's mainly stuck with a group of girls. My thoughts have been he misses his 3yo sister and also that he's very articulate and sociable for a boy his age; at a time when his peers don't speak a lot and prefer to do their own, individual thing.
honestly, i would not consider what you describe to be normal. if a child in my class exhibited those behaviors, he probably would have been referred to the child study team. i do not expect children to fit a mold, but there are certain things that they should be able to do. i truly hope that the teacher did not actually say that he doesn't fit a mold, as there is no mold, and there is a huge range of behaviors for young children.
We punish him when he gets out of line (take away privileges, time out, spanking, push ups) depending on what he has done to warrant punishment (spanking are only for extreme circumstances like his safety is in danger) He is an only child. He will start kindergarten in Aug and we are worried this behavior may continue and possibly affect his learning in school. He has no mental or physical problems that we are aware of. What is really odd is this does not happen at home AT ALL.
In Australia there is a site called kidsafe that rates all available car seats, prams, strollers, cots etc that are available. It rates everything from safety through to prices. Just wondering if perhaps the US has a similar site!
This is a legitimate question for your cardiologist, who knows about your condition and level of fitness and can weigh the risks.
Doggie is always safe, I'm not sure about the jumping jack though.
They say that light exercise throughout your pregnancy is good for you..just dont over do it.
I had thos worry and sometimes I still wake up on my back just get used it your side sleeping now while its still comfortable for you .
me and my boyfriend (long distance) have both admitted to each other we're virgins. we've also discovered i'm the one with more experience. he's never gotten a ******** or a hand job, etc. i'm going over to visit him for a while in the summer, i've arranged to get on the birth control pill, and had mutliple talks with my mother and experienced friends about it's use in preventing pregnancies.
My son is 5 and is in Kindergarten. Just has his annual meeting for his IEP which was integrated with his parent/teacher conference. He's been in speech therapy for the passed two years. Good news, he's on track with his speech and he is on track academically; Not so great news, he's a rigid, disruptive student, who needs constant prompting to stay on task.
Examples of rigidity:
Must be last in line. Must sit in certain spot on carpet.
thankyou for your comments and helpful feedback. I have thought about moving him to the other class, but he is quite happy and content would you believe, and the other class has two boys who are known bullies. In the class the other teacher is leaving soon to have a baby. So the best course of action would be to sit the year out, support and encourage my son as much as I can,aand try to work with the teacher.
She also goes to the same school as her older brother which is fun for the both of them. She complains it is too long. Today, first day back after long weekend, and there was no getting her to school. i tried. I told her that the rest of this week we will do half days until she is ready for the full day. I have spoken to her pediatricians about it and they said not to worry unless some other type of issue arises such as sensitivity to sound...another sense otherwise roll with it.
My 5 year old son is in kindergarten. He attended preschool/daycare for 3 years. He is very bright however his teacher complains that he doesn't follow directions and sends him to the principal's office. By the time he gets to the office he forgets why he was sent there. What can I do? I feel that the teacher should be more proactive and immediate in discipline in the class room. He tells me often that "Mrs. Blank was mad at me".
Hi I have posted some earlier problems regarding my son in kindergarten. His teacher is quite critical of him in the classroom, says that he does not pay attention and cannot work independantly.
I have been lucky enough to help out in the classroom and observe him at the same time. He can be a little inattentive but is quiet and competes the work if it is of interest to him. His teacher rarely gives him any praise for good behaviour or work,, but will give certain other kids praise all the time.
Some have been at home with mom their entire preschool years and some have been in preschool/mini kindergarten for a couple of years. So in kindergarten, you get a wide range of kids with different abilities and experience that they must be prepared to handle.
Is your son on the young side for kindergarten as he is still 5 in May? Is he a summer birthday? A child can be academically prepared but not developmentally mature enough for kindergarten. Do you think this is going on?
