[quote=Anonymous]PP again.  Also, Randolph will have 4 kindergartens next year  (this year they have 3) which means that classes will likely be pretty small. This year the 3 classes all started with 19 or 20 students (with a teacher  and a full time assistant plus ESL and reading assistants etc coming in).  There is some transience so the class sizes are slightly bigger  now  (I think they all have 21 or 22). I attended one of the info sessions and really enjoyed the presentation by a current K teacher. They talked a lot about the IB program and I feel as if I have a better feel for  what it means.  There is a big emphasis on instilling curiosity in kids---getting them to think about what questions to ask and making them active in their own learning process. It is  the school with the most ESL students of the county and kids speak more than 30 languages. There was a lot of talk about the teams across grades and the differentiation and assistants and specialists who come in and work with the kids in very small groups.  This was also evident during the tour of the school.  The facility is older but they are getting a new playground this summer.  [/quote]
