All Day Kinder

It has been a busy week and

I have had a lot of meetings.

One of the meeting was about all day Kindergarten.

I don't think I could have sent my own kids to all day Kinder.
However, I have had a change of heart.

My students need to learn to speak English, so I want them all day.

Having said that, I must admit that I love sending my morning class home everyday.

Standards are set so that when kids leave Kinder, they should be reading and writing.

Here is the thing.  

My kids went to a play based Kinder.

They turned out okay.

They can all read,

They all went to college.

Most of them have or will have a Master Degree.

Does it matter if you read in Kinder?

These are questions I ask myself every day.
