Tips on teaching a kindergartner to spell?

[seabeyond]

11. this is why i never bash teachers. the kindergarten teacher gave me a book on learning styles.

it was kick ass and so informative with that son, and helpful. i dont remember the name, but gave to a friend and never got it back. the book was very helpful. second grade he had an unorganized, free flowing type teacher. it was hell for the kid. for so many reasons. sat in a class mid year and said, no wonder the kid is having such a tough time. allowed me to be much more patient and do most of the teaching at home, with no expectation of the teacher. some kids did well in that environment. it was total fail for son. i talked to principal and he said, i know just the teacher for 3rd grade. it was a woman that was getting a masters on this stuff. she and i worked on all kinds of things to give son the tools he needed to work beyond his issues. the BEST gift for him. but through out the years, i would talk to the teachers prior to the year, and we were able to work over under around his issues. no excuses. an acknowledgment. and tools needed. high school, i let him go. still issues, lol. but it is his to do and figure out.

but it is like you say. we have talked about his oddity. but he likes that about himself on one hand, cause it also gives him wonderful gifts.

just who he is.

and i would be on it in a minute... having a drink or two with you all.
