As far as the PreK curriculum, my biggest problem is that so much information is crammed into the first few units then by midterm there is little left to do but review. In the two years I have been using the curriculum it seems that I am so busy "introducing" new concepts the children do not have time to grasp them before it is time to move on. This has been especially true this year with my extremely low group (our school does not group according to ability in PreK but my class turned out this way, however, they are always on free or reduced lunch in my program though). Also, the curriculum should be more in sync or integrated with the Kindergarten curriculum. Our K teachers were horrified when they realized that we were not teaching letter identification WITH the letter sound (according to curric this is not a PreK but a K skill). I'm not sure where the reasoning lies in this. As for the comment regarding money, I simply offered my advice on the PreK curric. At the time I had know way of knowing that anyone posting to this thread was working specifically on the PreK curric. That being said, I have offered the general overview of my advice for that curric. I prefer not to go into a pages-long post to discuss the details. If anyone wants more info about my opinion they can email me privately. After all people, this is only my $.02 and I really didn't think anyone would care enough about it to start such a fuss! lol Don't worry-Be Happy!
