Have to add this, since I have been saying how wonderful my experience with Montessori has been.
DD4 now says she doesn't want to go to school. We pushed and it was because she wants new work not old work.
Anyway, we talked to the teacher and she also talked to the teachers and I am hoping it is resolved. The head teacher told me about a month ago she was using a new "work" some bank game and adding, subtracting and multiplying and had to use 1000s. So they are doing stuff that interests her. But DD doesn't like to go back, she wants new stuff all the time.
A while ago, SPG wrote about a first grade class that was "revisiting their friend the letter "I"" and it sounded so simple for a first grade class. And I thought what would I do if that was my only option?
The good news is the teachers are responding but even in a good program you have to always be on top of things.
