Good for her. I had a challenge from my teacher in 5th grade that I couldn't read Moby Dick. I brought it in for my book report. I was insulted and he gave me an extra 2 weeks to complete it since it was a long read for a 10 year old. I got a B- on the report. Not bad for a kid!
Why do they always think a younger kid can't read above the level of the rest of the class. And why would that teacher reprimand the girl for reading that to another kid? You should have had a fit with her for censoring your kid.
We knew how to count money before we started Kindergarten. We also knew how to read words before that too. When I was in the first grade and they gave me those stupid Dick & Jane books without words I was totally lost and had a way different interpretation of each image. The teacher thought I was nuts.
My dad was a cabbie and he had that change "machine" that went on his belt. We would play with that and he taught us how to make change while playing.
