cmguy, my dd, who will turn 5 this fall, will be skipping k and going into first grade. She was in a mixed age class last year and her pre-k teacher had her work on k stuff for the latter part of the year. It was not too exerting- dd spent some time everyday working on spelling and doing math worksheets. But most of her day and the other kindergarteners' day was story time, playtime, art, drama, PE, music and outdoor expeditions. Re: sleep, DD is till not a good sleeper but she enjoys being at school and does not mind getting up on time to go.
