[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teaching sight words in a 3s class is indicative that this preschool does not know the current research in early childhood education. This is NOT age-appropriate. Your child is telling you in her own way that she is stressed out and not having fun. Children should be learning through play at this age, not with worksheets and flash cards. [/quote]

Yeah I thought that was weird too.[/quote]

OP said the daycare center, not the current preschool, taught her daughter sight words. The current preschool teacher said they don't do sight words in PK3, which according to you PPs, is developmentally appropriate.

OP: I'd probably give it more time. But if this is your IB school that you can go back to any time, then no harm in putting her back in the center. If you lotteried into this DCPS OOB and you think it would be a good fit moving forward, then I'd give it more time. [/quote]

You can not just "go back any time" for Prk 3 or Prk 4 even if it is your IB, even if it is early action. (Obviously you can not if it is your out of bound either.) Prk3&4 are not right to attend and you Must lottery for them (even if they are Title 1/Early Action).  If OP leaves they may or may not get a spot after the new year or next year for Prk4.  They will get a spot IF they lottery and it is early action. You can go back to your IB at anytime after Kindergarten! [/quote]
