'I'm doing everything I can to make sure he thrives in his first year of school.'
. I was cautiously optimistic, but I wanted to keep him on the right path to school success.
Ignoring my own you-get-what-you-get-and-you-don't-get-upset teacher policy, I wrote to his future principal to request the school's most experienced. While I'd always believed my daughter would benefit from a wide variety of teachers and teaching styles, I knew what my son needed for his first year in grade school, and it was a teacher who'd seen and already dealt with dozens of kids just like him.
Then, a week before school started, I ran into a friend who has kids the same ages as mine."Did you hear they dropped a kindergarten class this year?" she asked me, telling me enrollment had dipped a little, so the school had decided to go down to two kindergarten classes instead of three."The classes are going to be huge. I'm nervous," she continued.
A week into the school year, my son is still adjusting to his new normal . He has no idea that his classroom is almost 30 percent more populated than his sister's was, but of course, I am all too aware of those extra little bodies and what they mean for my son's kindergarten education — namely, that his teacher will have almost 30 percent less attention to give him, even though I know she's a wonderful educator who's doing her best.
While there's little I can do to affect how many students share his classroom and teacher, I'm doing everything I can to make sure he thrives in his first year of school. If your child is in a classroom that's a little too stuffed for your liking, here's what you can do to help them succeed.
