Parent Teacher interviews tomorrow.

My daughter is in Kindergarten this year and she has been doing pretty well. She is excelling in reading and math and is very artistic. One thing that was a problem on her report card is that for gym and music she doesn't always participate. Sometimes in "carpet time" too. He homeroom teacher is really great with her and tries different things to engage her and I am happy for that. Unfortunately her music and gym teacher are the same person. Dd who has never said this to me about anyone has said that this teacher doesn't like her. I am hoping I can talk to this other teacher and see if she is aware of dd's issues, and that group time for kids like her can feel chaotic and they often don't understand rules or forget them. I have also been told by someone that works with autistic kids that a bunch of kids running around screaming and yelling and perhaps throwing balls can be a very difficult thing for them to deal with. I really want to get this other teacher on board with dd as she will have her for these classes for many years to come and they are the ones that she got lower marks on. Oh the joy of schools and kids and special needs.

  1. It sounds like she's doing great! How unfair for the teacher not to like her and how sad that she feels that way and expresses it! Hopefully you can talk about it with her teacher and get the situation remedied. Keep us posted how it goes!
