Week #7 Entry

King's Elementary School
I don't know that this is where I want to teach, but I have done a bit of observing here and know a few of the teachers and it seems like a good private school!


One feature of the site I liked was that it spells out very clearly what to expect for each grade. The curriculum is listed and there is a list of things the student should already know before entering that grade. For example, in Kindergarten, the student should be able to print their first name, recognize the letters of the alphabet, count to 20, communicate their needs, etc.

I loved the page for carpooling. It's an animated page that shows you exactly where to drive to pick up and drop off your kids. Fun and interactive, yet informative!

Something that was slightly confusing was how to get to the homepage for the elementary school. Kings is a k-12 school and unless you know exactly how to get to the page you want, it's a little difficult to find.
Another thing that was unclear was the "home" link to get you back to the homepage. It's very small and at the bottom of the page. If I hadn't purposefully looked for it, I wouldn't have found it.

One thing that is missing is a school map. It might be helpful for new students or parents to be able to look that up at home.
