DS is just turned 5, started Yr1 this week. Last year was wonderful, he settled brilliantly to reception a lovely teacher that encouraged him but never put any pressure on him. He chugged along but only moved up a couple of levels but was happy so all good as far ask was concerned. He got mostly 'expected' levels in report.
This morning we peeked in the window of his new class room and I quickly realised that he is at the 'needs help' table, their worksheets were ordering to 10 where ALL other worksheets were more advanced. I know the kids on his table so the picture fits. I just didnt realise he was so far behind :( I'm really PMT today so I realise teary feelings are over reacting but what can I do to help him forward, what is average knowledge at this stage?
His new teacher hasn't so much as made eye contact with me on the one day she came out of the classroom after school. After such a lovely start to school last year I'm feeling quite adrift really.
