[quote=Anonymous]I'm a K teacher and your thread title made me worried you came to our orientation yesterday.  At ours, we do a quick meet-and-greet with parents and then all the K teachers take the kids to two classrooms while the parents have paperwork and then an info session with admin and one K teacher. With the kids, the other K teachers have centers set up at tables (puzzles, playdoh, coloring, name writing), one teacher does snack table, and then we have two teacher-led activities at tables: planting a pumpkin seed and making a pumpkin construction picture.

When every kid has rotated through every center, we read a story and/or sing songs from YouTube, depending on how much time was oft.  We have about 100 incoming Ks, so we had 3 sessions in 2 days.  From start to finish, it was about 2 hours.  And yes, neighbor, this is at a public school.

I'm sorry yours was underwhelming.  Was there a parent feedback opportunity?  I'm sure if orientation didn't meet your expectations, the teachers and admin would like to know so that they can improve it for future years.[/quote]
