Help! Preparing for 1St Grade

Hi Moms- I am wondering if any of you can share with me some of the things that your child learned in 1st Grade. My son has been recently recommended to skip Kindergarten and go on to 1st Grade. I would like to prepare him, at home, for what is to come. While I believe that this is the best decision for him, I would like to continue to work with him on the things that he may need. Thanks, in advance, for your help! N.

I'm Irritated at My Son's Pre-k Teacher.

Hi: My son attends pre-k and, per the rules, we keep a full change of clothes in his backpack. I keep them all in a large freezer ziploc in his backpack. On Friday, he comes home from school and we get home and I notice that his 'spare' pair of pants is gone from the bag. I thought to myself, "That is odd! I best go get another pair for his bag." On Monday morning, his teacher says to my husband upon 'drop-off', "Sorry, but I accidentally sent your son's pants home on another child. They share the backpack cubby and I mistook your...

Retaining Child in Second Grade.

My son is 7 years old, very young for second grade (born in August 16). He also has ADD. For many reasons the school, my husband and I decided that it will be better for him to stay another year in second grade, but he doesn't want to stay another year.
