Time has flown... Kids have grown.. Thought should add how the experience has been so far in public school. It has been just awesome. [My daughter who is 7 now]She is in a regular setting as our home school district doesn't have anything for advanced kids until 3rd grade. But us as a parent and my daughter as a child never had any problem keeping her excited about the school. Kindergarten teacher Mrs. Melton and her 1st grade teacher Mrs. Dunn have done a fabulous job of keeping her going and learning far more in depth. So any parent who are concerned about how your child will do in a public school setting in a regular class, please be assured all teachers try their best and if you can work with them. The end result is way better.
She has improved a lot. She could read at 6th grade when was in KG. But comprehension was at 3rd, Teachers help her gain confidence and improve there. They are doing a project on polar animals and the whole class has been divided in group of 2 or 3 children for this project. She is doing by her self. She is very proud of herself and a very confident child. These little things matter, play a far more imp role and def think letting my daughter attend the public has been a rewarding experience.
Thank you.
