My son is just finishing his first week of school today. I live in a small town &when hubby & I went to the gas station last night the grandma of one of the kids in his class was there and said my son was picking on her grandson. She was very polite about it. We all get along well. She said since it was the first week my son had to apologize for hitting this little boy. They are in 1st grade and they were in Kindergarten 2gether last year with no prob. I know boys will be boys and they will probably end up being best of friends by the end of the year. Maybe by the time they come home today. I told the grandma I would talk to him about it. I talked to my son before school and he didn't know what I was talking about. There is a little boy that has the same name as my son and that could be it too. Openhouse is next thurs so I figured I'd talk to the teacher then. I did stress that hitting isn't a wayout of anything and he said he knows and wouldn't hit he would tell teacher or walk away

You know when your son is telling you the truth or a fib, so if you believe that he is telling you the truth, then I wouldn't stress about it. I am sure you will sort it out either way at the open house.
I agree you handled it very well! I think we've all been in a similar situation!
Good luck!

Are they in the same class again?
I am a teacher and think it's definitely a good idea to let the teacher know, but Open House is a very overwhelming time for teachers. She may not be able to give you enough time to really address the issue. Can you e-mail or call her before the Open House to set up a time to meet? If not, wait until there aren't other parents to tell her your concerns.
Good luck!

Bully stuff is always tough - the stories are always hard to tell the truth from. Yes, talk to the teacher, but don't wait til open house - call her or drop into the school now. Just don't leave it.
And talk to your son again and again. It's hard, but there are times our little sweeties just don't tell us the truth...

You handled it correctly. When you visit with the teach just ask her to let you know if she notices any "bad" behavior from your child.

Ignoring at this stage is the best remedy.
