[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The teachers are observing the kids at simple tasks.  They use their observations together with other data (parent form) to group the kids into classes and assign teachers.

Last year, DS and a group of about 10 kids were with 4 K teachers for 30 minutes. They are assessing the kids really quickly to get a better sense of how to group them into their classes. Circle time, free play, letters, numbers, socialization, participation. In our Elementary School, they continued to assess the kids for the first week of school before assigning them to their classroom.[/quote]

really?  In MCPS - they didn't assign kids to classrooms until after the first week?  How did that work?  [/quote]

Let me clarify. Kids were assigned a different K teacher each day that week for the first four days. On the fifth day, Friday, they stayed with their Monday teacher. They came home on Friday with their permanently assigned K teacher for the rest of the year.[/quote]

That's pretty cool.  I didn't realize that elem schools in MCPS did things so differently.  Ours the kids were assigned before school started and there were no changes.  [/quote]
