[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC is a rising senior, so maybe our experience has no bearing on today, but she came home after a couple days of kindergarten and said, "it's chair, rug, chair, rug, all day.  Why are there toys in the classroom?"[/quote]

Yeah, it has no bearing on today. [/quote]

I would say that the routine now is rug(Promethean Board), center,  rug(Promethean Board), center,  rug(Promethean Board), center,  rug(Promethean Board).  Most centers do involve chairs.  Like I said earlier, many of the centers are fun and contain items kids would regard as toys, at least at my son'e elementary school.  It's interesting to see that this can vary by school.  I'm really surprised by the poster who said that her child's kindergarten did not have centers at all.[/quote]

Basically my daughter was complaining that they seldom got to go to the centers.  They did look fun, kitchen, store, etc.  But most the day they were either circled around the teacher or back at tables with a project.  It was much more structured than pre-school.  [/quote]
