[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"A class with playtime, dress up center and/or kitchen. That's just not kindergarten. In pre-k I did see kitchens, but they were used for before and aftercare time, not class time. "

If it's normal then I will grudgingly accept it as simply wildly different from when I went to K (admittedly 30 years ago). Since it's a Title I school though I'm on edge to try to make sure she's not getting short-changed compared to other schools in the county and so me lack of any real indoor playtime at 5 years old just seems wild. I could also understand it more if K were still a 1/2 day program, but DD's at school for about 6.5 hours.[/quote]

It is wildly different.  But, if you embrace it, it is also really a wonderful time.  I loved watching all of my kids transform into classroom learners.  Kindergarten is a little tough for some because it's a big transition from home or preschool.  But, the excitement they have for school is so much fun.  I particularly loved watching the reading process.  You won't believe how your child is doing by January.  What's so great about it is that reading crosses all subject lines, so when they get proficient, they have skills in other areas as well.  [/quote]
