[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] My daughter in a Rockville kindergarten class and absolutely loves it, but there is not much unstructured play. They get free choice centers, with a kitchen, Legos etc. at the end of the day plus recess. They also take lots of movement breaks with silly games and dances throughout the day. While she does do a lot of work sheets, she also brings home small  art projects,  Little math games etc. Even though it is structured, they do have a lot of un! They had an apple day where they did Apple science projects, cooking, art projects and murals, and all kinds of fun stations. They did a similar day with pumpkins. In December they did a fun stem afternoon about the gingerbread man and made boats with their teams out of aluminum foil and other things and then got to see if their boat would carry their gingerbread man across their “river”.  She does have homework almost every day, but it is usually only 2 to 3 minutes. Sometimes it will be one story math problem, other days it will say practice writing some sight words, other days it’s just to tell us about a special event that happened at school. My daughter is one of the youngest in the class, so I was a little nervous about it, but have been happily surprised.[/quote]
