[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was very important to my child to see where she was going to go to school for K.  She is somewhat anxious and I am very glad we had the opportunity to go for orientation and for the one evening before school starts to meet her teacher. [/quote]
I agree it's important to go, even if your schools hasn't worked out all the kinks. DD did a "cooking" project with one of the teachers- fun for her, but I wasn't happy about them giving her all that sugar to take home. She told me the teacher asked her to count. DD can count to 100, but said the teacher asked her to stop when she got to 20. They also had her write her name  and tell her bday and what she's most looking forward to in K. My biggest complaint is I thought the teachers could have done a better job with telling us about themselves. They didn't say anything except their name. I still am not even sure about some of the names. A PP with a little background on the K team members would have been helpful. I was thinking of requesting a specific teacher, but don't know enough to do that. Some did seem friendlier than others, but that's not enough to go on. There was no PTA or after school programs represented and that would have been nice. Everything did feel a bit rushed. No admin. present either--not sure why, but hard to imagine what was more important than this.[/quote]
