No parties. because we lose teaching time. School as I have observed is not much fun. I loved school it was fun. I do not see this very often anymore. If I were going to school now I don't think I would have enjoyed it. I was in a kindergarten classroom where there was not one place on the schedule for free choice, or time to sit on the floor and play blocks,play dough or paint on an easel, all of which I did in my kindergarten class. So sad.
