[quote=Anonymous]1. Gives spelling tests (of words that you think are sufficiently difficult for the grade level): yes-the words are differentiated and based on what is being studied in class. When they had brine shrimp as a class pet, one of the spelling words for my kid's group was nauplii. Seriously. I had to look it up when he brought it home.
2. Teaches cursive: No
3. Has art, PE, or music weekly (and what frequency - once, twice, daily): yes-weekly. They also have a library/technology class.
4. Has social studies and science daily (if not, how frequently): no-I believe it was 3x/week.
5. Gives homework to K and 1st: Yes. 2nd had the most meaningful HW assignments, but he had a great teacher.
6. Allows acceleration in math (I'm not sure how to ask this one. My oldest is in preschool. But I know math has been a hot button topic under 2.0): There was differentiation/leveling at the classroom level. For reading (I know you didn't ask) differentiation took place at the grade level, meaning your child could have a completely different teacher and classmates outside of his regular class for reading.

This was last year at Bel Pre ES. (K-2 school)[/quote]
