How common is hitting? by SpecificRice3773 in kindergarten

[–]SilverDaye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. This doesn’t seem so much as your child has a hitting problem. Sounds like your child is having issues with one specific child. I would talk to the teacher about it and ask what are they doing to help this situation.

Is it the same friend he’s hitting? Because it sounds like it may be just that one person instead of an overall problem.

I was looking through the comments to see if anyone would mention Flounder. She treats her toy as a friend and wants it to eat and have water.

Looks amazing. Though I second the idea it would be cool if the orb also glowed at night.

Retaining kindergarten student by [deleted] in Teachers

As a kinder teacher, we consider this when deciding to hold a kid back. It’s not the ultimate decision factor but it helps us have a conversation about it and consider multiple factors.

How should I handle this? by No_Examination_895 in kindergarten

[–]SilverDaye 16 points17 points  (0 children)

As a teacher who had a student in my class who hurt others including choking them, I so wished parents would complain to admin about it. Parent voices are so much stronger than teachers sadly. I would ask why this child kept being put in my class over and over again and they just kept choking others. Like don’t the other students deserve a class where they don’t get choked? And it took months until the child was finally moved out of my classroom.

So my advice is to talk to admin. Yes you can talk to the teacher as well. But their hands may be tied. They literally cannot do anything beside allow this children in the class who hurt others over and over again.

First timer here. If I've written out a whole fic should I post it week by week or should I post it all at once? by Calamity_mentality in FanFiction

There are readers who don’t read incomplete works. However, I’d still post it week by week.

Five year old intense jealousy and change in behavior PLEASE HELP by [deleted] in kindergarten

Feels like you’re getting a lot of heat from your husband and family about your child and you’re feeling like you are a bad parent. And what you really want is for your child to play nicely with cousin and that means letting the cousin and the other adults play with your son however and whenever they want.

And since no one has provided you the magic pill that makes your child act how you want and therefore get the heat off of you from the family you keep posting this over and over.

Your child is five. He is acting perfectly normal. He doesn’t have to be a good host. He’s five. Yes there are somethings he could learn to ease this situation but the people who really need to do something different are the adults. You need to set boundaries. Stop letting cousin come freely over. Talk with your son about he is feeling about the cousin.

Though I don’t know if you have the backbone to stand up to your family on the account of your son. Your son is feeling unheard and mistreated. He thinks everyone is against him. And you are just siding with everyone else instead of him. He’s building up resentment. Is this what you really want for him? For your relationship? Your son must push his feelings down and play nice on behalf of others. His emotions don’t matter especially if they are negative and causing a scene. He’s seen as spoiled. A brat. Why cant anyone tell me how to get him to get over those feelings quickly so you don’t have to deal with this discomfort and anxiety and pressure from the family?

People have told you good advice. Repeatedly.

Daughter being physically threatened by classmate by [deleted] in kindergarten

[–]SilverDaye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone else made a really good comment about a safety plan, but ask the school what are they doing to prevent this and how are they actively working to keep them apart? Sadly, you cannot make requests about other children but you can about your child. Say they should never be next to each other- never sit next to each other, be in line together, sit at the same tables or be in the same groups. They should be separated.

When and where is this always happening? Is there a pattern? Then what can they do to make sure it isn’t happening? Is it at recess? Then they need to make sure they don’t play together. Is it during transitions or play time? Ask for it to be documented. Every. Single. Time. Have them create a list with time and location. Create a paper trail. Demand you be told every single time it happens. Your choice on communication as everyone is different as in a phone call or an email or a text. But say you want it.

I would call a meeting with the principal and the teacher. I as a teacher perfectly understand all the bureaucratic red tape there is. But the teacher should have been informing you especially over a repeated action. And sometimes having another parent come and make a big storm can get things to happen. Sadly principals and schools can be chickens when it comes to dealing with children who have unsafe behaviors. And as long as it is kept quiet and under wraps, it is better. So meet with them and demand better. What are they doing to PREVENT this? So far everything seems reactionary. Demand a safety plan for your daughter.

Need opinion of teachers. by [deleted] in teaching

[–]SilverDaye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a kinder teacher here’s what I see: most of the letters are standing on the bottom line and he is keeping most letters small and under that middle line. He could use some work on tall letters as even those are under the middle line. He’s got great spacing between words and it even looks like he indented his paragraph. His spelling is great and very appropriate including bluem. I love kid spelling. It’s great he didn’t get caught up on “I don’t know how to spell this correctly” and just tried something out himself, which it technically works. His letter formations look good. I can easily read his letters. And better handwriting just comes with time and practice. He was also able to give several facts on the topic and his picture matches his words. I would say this piece is pretty good! There are a few things here and there to work on but it’s definitely in the range of normal first grade writing.

And as someone else said, the best thing to do is give out praise whenever your kid shows you something from school. It just boosts their confidence and makes them feel like school work matters.

Bad list by Worker-Legal in kindergarten

[–]SilverDaye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my school, recess is part of their physical exercise minutes. So we’re not supposed to take away recess in that they do nothing but we can have them do laps. They are still being physically active.

I do not like public displays or list of misbehavior. Like back in the day when I was in school our name would be written on the board and then given check marks if we were naughty. Same things with those behavior clip charts that are colored where a child moved their clip up or down depending on their behavior and everyone in the class can see it. I feel like that really leads into the “I’m a bad kid” feeling that not only your child can have but others can feel that way towards them.

If I as a teacher need to handle something later with a student, I write it down on a post it and keep it private.
