1st Grade Reading Success

Archive for September, 2009

My son will be starting 1st grade this fall and has a lot of “fun” DS games but I’d like to get him some educational ones that are fun too. Toys R Us is having a “BOGO 1/2 off sale” so I’m planning on getting a few. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have an assignment to make up an interest/attitude survey for 1st grade about reading. What are some questions that I can ask a first grader to find out what they like to read?

I am in need of some lesson plans. If you could help it would be greatly appreciated. They are for 1st grade.

I ask because, I am majoring in elementary education. I would love to teach either kindergarten or 1st grade. I love working with children. Have anyone of you ever had bad experience with the teacher? Did the teacher do his or her job? Was your child learning what they are suppose to learn? I just want to hear your opinions and your outcomes.

My 7 year old daughter is in 1st grade. There are 2 other 1st grade girls that ride the bus with her, who have been very mean to her lately. I think it’s jealousy, but a 7 year old doesn’t understand that. At the bus stop (I’m always there with her), they completely ignore her when she tries to talk to them. For example, my daughter asked one of them if she could have one of the press on tattoos the little girl was handing out, and the girl rolled her eyes and ignored my daughter. That same morning, they were being so mean on the bus, my daughter started crying. When the 2 of them are not together, they want to play with my daughter, and she feels they are her friends. I tried to explain to her that she doesn’t need friends like that and I don’t want her playing with them. That really upset her because I have always said I will not choose her friends. My daughter does not have a mean bone in her body. I don’t know how to handle this. It hurts ME to see my daughter being hurt.
