A.,
My oldest son was in kindergarten last year. He went to the public school in our neighborhood. After reading your post, it is understanding why your daughter thinks it's boring. Children from ages 3-6 enjoy play, but they also enjoy learning through play. It seems that your daughter's class is doing too much seat work. They should be moving around a lot more than what they are. The school day should be structured for the children (children need structure) but not to the extent of what she is doing. And, children need time outside-I have never heard of a kindergarten class that misses recess time. They need art, music, science, they need their creativity nutured. It is important for developing their conceptual thinking ("thinking outside the box") I would consider first speaking with the teacher about her teaching. If that doesn't work, talk to the principal. If all else fails, send her to another school if you can. her total educational experience should be wholistic, incorporating lots of learning areas. it should definetley be fun and should be a bit more active. Save the continuous worksheets for 4th grade ;) Hope this has been helpful. I offer this bit from 6 years experience as a early education teacher.
