There’s always ONE! (Part III)
This month we focus on what skills our children are learning at the start of this new year, and we re-visit our theme of “There’s always one” who is swimming upstream. Each year it takes a number of weeks to get the ‘feel’ of a new class. As a teacher one forms such strong attachments to a class that it takes a while to switch allegiance to the little strangers who now inhabit your class. It also takes more than a week or two to really get to know each child’s individual strengths and weaknesses, so when parents ask us after the first week “how is he doing?” it really is too soon to tell! You might rather ask “how is he settling in?”.
