[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is my kindergartener’s schedule:
- 90 mins reading workshop 
- 60 mins math workshop
- 30 mins writing workshop
- 30 mins lunch, 4 mins recess
- social studies/science
- specials 4 days a week and on other day extended social studies/science

Other than recess, it’s all structured. Really glad my kid just missed the cutoff sonwas almost six when starting.[/quote]

Forgot to answer your question. We have monthly homeowner projects, often requiring research/help from parents. Many just skip and seems to be no consequence. No nightly HW.[/quote]

Thanks, that's helpful. My daughter is an October baby, so she'll be doing junior K at her preschool and will be almost 6 when she starts kindergarten. Maybe that alleviates some of the issues with a more structured day ... don't know. [/quote]

Yes, having a kid on the older side will help! And because many summer birthday kids are held back, and Oct bday is usually middle of the pack in terms of age. If you are planning on using aftercare, it’s worth checking in on how much unstructured time kids have there. At ours they have a lot of outdoor/choice time, which helps a lot.[/quote]
