[quote=Anonymous]DS has several friends who did this and they all came from a Montessori straight into 1st. One has an October birthday while the other two are summer birthdays before the cut off. One child would have to go through early entrance while the others would not but their situations are otherwise exactly the same. One child, summer birthday, had a difficult transition but it's likely due to the difference between having more freedom in Montessori than in a public 1st grade. Your child would feel this whether going into K or 1st although the teachers in K might be more understanding because everyone is in the same boat. In our public K they did have 15 minutes of play time at the end of the day. They no longer had this in 1st and there was much more seated work and the expectations for writing and sitting still were much greater.[/quote]
