[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A 15 minute recess does seem very short, but other than that what you describe seems normal. There is a lot of pressure in public schools to hit specific content requirements and lots more testing. It isn't fun, but I would aslo be shocked if your kid didn't have a ton of movement breaks, fun activities etc. Can you ask to read to the class or volunteer in some way so you can see what's actually going on? I used to get the same reports from my kids, but when I went in and actually saw how much fun they had, how much silliness and dancing went on, etc., I was relieved. [/quote] +1 What your kid reports to you and how they actually feel during the day aren't always the same thing. And it will always be an adjustment to go from ECE to the more structured environment of elementary school.[/quote]
