[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry about that. I am not a type A parent worrying about Harvard I promise. I actually was a bit alarmed by what was being taught at private school based on a parent's post especially since I have a child with fine-motor issues who loves to play. According to this parents kids in K are already writing a sentence about their drawings, they are graphing, and learning money skills. They are doing social studies about all sorts of cultures. It all sounds great, it just sounds to me more like end of the year rather than mid year stuff for K and I was wondering if FCPS expects kids to move at such fast pace as well and then what are the expectations in 1st. The whole post I read sounded more like 1st/2nd grade stuff to me, but what do I know.[/quote]
My kid is in an Arlington public K and is "writing" sentences about drawings. They just try to fill in whatever letters they can sound out. They do this every morning for a half hour. And they do graphing like a PP described. And they learn about other cultures...some seasonally appropriate things...Columbus, American Indians, etc.  Maybe it just sounded mire impressive than it really is. [/quote]
