[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The intended goal of K [b]was [/b]not a heavy academic year. It [b]was [/b]a transition year for 4-5 yr olds to school so that they would be ready to start school in first grade. they went mornings or afternoons. K was about learning your colors and numbers and singing songs, doing the calendar, sitting in a circle and looking at weather charts etc. It wasn't really possible to not be ready for K. Until they went to K, kids played and had fun and learned basic life and social skills. Also the research shows that holding kids back doesn't do them any good. That kids who are immature or a bit behind catch up by third grade. [/quote] "WAS" hits the nail on the head. Anything else...leave it up to me to decide what does my kids 'any good' :)[/quote]
