Transitioning to new classroom

I wonder what everyone's doing about their child's transition to the new classroom. I was quite nervous about how my son is going to do under the new teacher in Grade 1 that I requested a meeting with her at the beginning of this month. I went to the meeting with an open mind never having met her before. It turned out that she was this straightforward, receptive and pleasant person and I felt better about my son transitioning from his Sk classroom today into her more challenging and structured Grade 1 classroom. I did go prepared to tell her something about my son. I felt it was important that she has an idea of who would be among her students in the upcoming year and to hopefully be able to prepare herself somewhat to handle situations with my son. The meeting went well and I left her my folder with current information about my son's medical status, his strenghts and talents so she will be able to have a once-over at it before we meet her again with my son in August. I feel better that I did that. I strongly believe that its important to communicate but because I feel I have to be cautious about not overburdening the school staff with too much information at once, I made sure that it was mostly in point form and on one page. I added the most current evaluation and that consisted my transition package for my son's new teacher. I have done my part, I think and hope that some of that infomation will leave an impression on my son's new teacher, enough to know what he is all about.
