As a parent of a first grader, what do I do if the teacher is currently 1 month behind on curriculum? It's only November! I volunteer in the classroom. I feel I am hurting the teachers feelings by asking questions about my childs progress. I've noticed that some of the students are still learning to read, and a lot of time is spent with them. My child has about 1.5 hours of uninstructional reading time a day, since he's reading at 2nd grade level.
They haven't even started handwriting yet! He comes home almost every day in tears saying he's not learning and when he has a question, he's not being noticed. He tells me he can not concentrate on written worksheets while other children are involved in playful activities during Math time. (other students flicking pennies across the floor, instead of using them to count) Has a hard time focusing in such a chaotic atmosphere.
Just don't know what to do, or how to approach the teacher who is extremely overwhelmed.
