[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks for the insights. I guess I also meant the activities they do, not just the curriculum itself - I don't need him learning rocket science yet, I just want learning activities to foster exploration and curiosity, not just be about cutting and coloring worksheets or playing games on the laptop. Is that very teacher-dependent?

That said, I'm super curious about the Benchmark and RGR discussions - I don't see either yet, but maybe because it starts in grade 1? Are all Moco elementary schools moving to RGR next year?

I don't mind what I see from the Eureka workbook thus far. Again, I just hope it's being supplemented in class with something other than additional worksheets. [/quote]

Kindergarten should be getting RGR. Phonics is so important for kindergarten!  I know there's a handful of schools that piloted the Benchmark phonics program but since benchmark is going away it's probably a dead end. I am not sure if RGR is going to stay or if the district will adopt a different phonics program to go with the new reading curriculum.

My kid found Eureka a bit slow but is more challenged in 3rd grade.
