(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Last year I had a first grade grandchild that had a poor attitude about learning skills which was also effecting her ability to learn. The first grade teacher plus the special reading teacher had alot of patience and never gave up. By the end of the year her skills and then her attitude about herself were so much improved. We are so thankful for this special effort from these teachers at Farmingdale elementary.
