[quote=Anonymous]Same here. OP, I wonder where you went and what you saw. In fact, some complain there is too much play and too many stations at this point, and not enough sitting in chairs and tracing letters. Now, of course what you see the kids doing at any point in time really depends on the schedule. You may see them seated for morning circle or having a read-aloud, or in chairs on a common activity, or napping etc. Or is that what you were bemoaning, that it does indeed look more like a nursery school? In that case, I'd say don't deplore that. Sitting in chairs tracing letters and writing numbers isn't teaching them much, nothing they can't more effectively learn when they're ready, but it stifles all the other development that takes place at this age and that is so fundamental to learning.[/quote]
