[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In social studies DD loves playing trivia on early civilizations after completing research and report on Aztecs.

In science after learning about circulatory system they have a project to measure their pulse rates and resting and active states and analyze and graph the data.

In French they brought yoga mats and learned words through poses - chair, airplane, etc.

In math they play games and are covering material ahead one grade.

In language arts they wrote stories about dramatic event in their lives and are publishing a book.

In music they had a recorder concert and are learning to play ukulele.

There is no confirmation bias here. I love how private school teachers work hard to make learning interesting and engaging.

I should add that in public they didn’t have nearly as many projects and with 30 kids in class some of whom had behavior issues they never played any games.  They just did worksheets.[/quote]
We are at aps at a school called middle of the road here.
Other than the French (fles is a joke), this sounds very similar to what my second grader did last year.  Instead of playing the ukelele they move from the recorder to real instruments in band.  [/quote]
