[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought something similar PP.  the K class we observed was doing some type of station rotation and the teacher had full attention and order even between transitions...not in a scary way either.  Also all the classrooms had smartbaords. Is that. Standard now in all DCPS classrooms?  I don't know but the kids were fully engaged.  I didn't see a single white student which gave me pause.  There have been other threads about difficulties for an only especially when majority of kids speak another language at recess, lunch etc.  I was still impressed and will following the changes for the next year and hopefully heading there for at least PS3-K.

Those smartboards is somewhat standard but use varies across schools/teachers.  BM's K teacher is particularly adept. However, according to some experts such technology has no dicernible impact on student learning.  I agree to a certain extent -- content with kids roll up their sleeves and engage in reading/writing/and basic arithmetic at that age.  BM has a great music teacher.  Not sure if your language concern matters -- I lot of these hispanic kids speak mostly English to each other anyway on the playground, etc. at least my observation. I think young kids are pretty colorblind, until maybe later grades. But the non-native speakers do a great job with the spanish, writing/reciting poetry, responding to the teachers.[/quote]
