[quote=Anonymous]My experience at a close-in MCPS elementary school. There are worksheets during Math/Reading Blocks (which my son loathes but adversity builds character, or at least that's what I tell myself). There is also group learning on a rug in front of the teacher during those same blocks and group interaction. There is also "morning work" which is also more free form prior to actual class starting. There is also a block for "special" each day - which is PE/Art/Music/Counselor/Something else, then there is 30 minute recess, then there is 20 minutes of play center, and there is 20 minutes "DEER time" after recess - which is "Drop Everything and Read" but translates to Quiet time at centers. Hope this helps your decision. Only you can decide what is right for your child. I have found that our teachers have been responsive and will help you if your child is having problems with attention, boredom, etc.[/quote]
