s/o - how many kids are in your child's class?

Sunflower7777 · March 2012

What grade are they and how many kids are there?

DS is in kindy. He started out with 24 kids, but 2 kids got transferred into his class b/c the parents didn't like the other kindy teacher. So, there's 26. She doesn't have any sort of aides in the classroom with her, nor does she use much parent volunteer help in the actual classroom. Frankly, I don't know how she stays patient all day long with 26 five & six-year-olds.

Between 20 and 24 both years (KG and 1st). Last year they started with maybe 21 and ended up gaining a couple that moved from Japan. This year a couple moved away over break and one more was added after that (from Japan also, we have a lot of auto execs that come over from there mid-year).

19 last year in 4K with 1 teacher and 1 aid

23 this year in 5K with 1 teacher, no aids, and some parent volunteers

Kindy -- 16 (counting DS). No aides.

DD- prek- 26 kids, 1 teacher, 1 aid (too many kids imo)

DS- grade 1- 22 kids, 1 teacher

Where I live in prek and k there is always an aid once there are more than 18 kids in the class. The govenment that was voted in last year made an election promise to only have 20 or fewer kids in classes until grade 3. Now they are trying to figure out how to accomplish that. I would love if it went into practice b/c I teach grade 2 and have 26 kids.

First Grade -- 21 kids; one teacher

Kindergarten last year -- 22 kids; one teacher and one aide

I think there are 14 in his preK class.

My Kindergartener started at 32, now has 30 (it's Chinese immersion so they were on the border of having to add a 2nd K class, but hired a para who has many years experience teaching in China but isn't licensed as a teacher here, so it works well). My 2nd grader has 19 kids in his class. My preschooler has 22 kids (1 regular ed teacher, 1 sped teacher, 2 aides).

12 last year (preK), 23 this year (K) and next year will be bigger. Our school has 4 K classrooms and 3 per grade after, so those 100 kids will be split into 3 classes for 1st grade.

Kinder- 20 kids, including her. Just their teacher, no aids or anything.

Was 19 for awhile but they got a new student 2 weeks ago.

DandelionMom · March 2012

17 and that's the biggest kinder class my kids have had (DD2's was only 15 and DD1's was less than that plus they had a parapro).

ppants · March 2012

My kids are in K. They each have 20 kids in their class. Each class has a teacher and a para.

NikiGee · March 2012

16 in her kindy class.

dirtbikemom · March 2012

28 in DD's K class. It is just the teacher and 2 parent volunteers one on Tues, one on Thurs.

AnnapolisLari · March 2012

This year he's in PreK and there are 14 kids.

Next year he will attend half day K because we can't afford the tuition for full day. They said that the half day classes tend to be between 15-18 kids. The full day classes are larger and are between 22-25.

preschool - 16 with two teachers

kindergarten - 15 for the am class, 15 for the pm. The classes overlap a hour and half each day so the one teacher has 30 kids for that time.

First - 29 or 30 (one or two left and then we got another student). One teacher.

Small classes around here are a thing of the past. They are totally cutting the schools budget and laying off teachers making big classes. Sucks.

veloelle · March 2012

Kindy, 32, no aid. : ( I volunteer 1x a week, it's half day.

kickypants · March 2012

Full-day kindergarten, 24 kids. Both K classes at his school have a full-time aide, but he won't have one next year in 1st..

virginiamorse · March 2012

Kindie - 19, they started with 20. The incoming kindie class this year is unusually small, they started with 3 classes of 20 kids each. The older grades run from about 24 to 28 per class. I'm really happy about the small class size.

In my sons class there are a couple kids with impairments(my son being one of them) so there is a classroom aide in there most of the time, as well as the special ed teacher and social worker in there from time to time to work on social skills. And parent volunteers a few times a month (for special things, like Math Game Day).

DS1 is in Kindy, there's 20 kids in his class. Our district likes to keep classes 15:1, but our district is booming so I'm a little scared about how many may be in DS2's K class next year. This is the biggest group of kindergarteners they've had and it's just growing. Last year DS's teacher had 13 kids in her class, they started this year off with 18 and gained 2 more during the year.

Dani3679 · March 2012

DD is in 2nd grade. This year she has 16 with 1 teacher and a shared aide.

1st grade and Kindy it was 12 with 1 teacher and an aide

ccm1203 · March 2012

19 in 1st grade. I think there were 17 in K.

peekaboo716 · March 2012

DD - 3 yo preschool class - 24 kids, 3 teachers, which they usually break up into 3 groups of 8.

DS - Kindie - 23 kids with one para.

mom2one · March 2012

Never more than 16 and there is a teacher and aide in every classroom.

SpartanGirl · March 2012

23 or 24? Somewhere in that range. Kids have transferred in and out - I've sort of lost track. DD1 is in Kindergarten.

ETA: DS is in preschool and there are 16 kids in his class.

my son is supposed to be in pre-k but they moved him up to the kindy class. not our district, but our private school. there are 12 kids total, but some kids come in the morning and leave and others come in the afternoon since it's kindergarten age kids (kindy is half day in our district). there are usually 6 or 7 kids at one time. it really is fantastic being that small. my ds has learned so much this year.

i think next year in our district for kindy there are about 15- 20 kids in a class. i know they try and keep the class sizes small.
