[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is off topic, but I see there three classrooms for 3-6 and one classroom of 6-9. Does anyone know the # of slots for each grade? For example, is K 15 students (5x3) or 30 students (10x3)?

To answer the original question, I think that unfortunately this is something that can't really be truly tested until the action happens. A plan can be as good on paper as it gets; but the teachers have to give it their all (which seems possible) and the students have to turn out to be mostly good apples (which is likely). [/quote]

I *think* 10 pk3 and 5 pk4 and 5 k in each of the three lower classrooms.  Then a class of 10 first graders.  Is this right? So that is 70 students on the playground at once.  Yikes!  They have to have some kind of staggering plan.

Yes, I know plans are only as good as the teachers, but I'm wondering if this is even on their radar?  perhaps they think the Montessori 
 curriculum will take care of some of it naturally, but not on the playground or in the group afterschool activities  . .

That's weird for K-ers, right? They won't have many big kids to play with. I don't know if that would work for my K. She's an only and I want her to play with other kids her age. Hmm. Something to think about. [/quote]

There will be 5.  And some will be just a few months behind.  Besides, siblings likely wouldn't be her age.  And, we very rarely socialize exclusively with people born within a year of ourselves except at school - which is a weird anomaly and thus not teaching kids the social skills they will need the decades and decades they are out of school.[/quote]
