[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The OP states a few posts down that her child is in AAP and that they struggled a LITTLE in AAP MATH. I highly doubt that SOAR is going to teach a grade level of AAP math. They just need more kids to justify the class thus justify paying a teacher for the summer. Even if the kid went, she'd be forced to do Language arts and most likely remedial math that is not going to help "much" at her AAP level.[/quote] OP said her child: 1) was a 3/4 student, I would guess the 3's are in math based on her comments 2) Principal placed in AAP, not committee selected 3) "Her math scores on standardized tests are average" 4) Her Teachers concerns are newish, so third quarter, probably when more difficult material is being introduced. It sounds like her daughter is someone who works hard but is not one of the kids who grasps math quickly, the average scores on standardized exams. The fact that the school sent a SOAR invite before the full invite to the school signals that the child's math issues are more deep then most of the kids at the school. I would guess that OP's child needs help with third grade math and not just the accelerated fourth grade math. I would be surprised if OPs kid is Principal Placed in LIV next year, the math does not sound like a good fit for her and it only speeds up as the kids go up grade levels. OP, I would look for some math enrichment this summer if you don't choose SOAR. Get some workbooks for third grade math and work through those. Make sure that she understands that material and is ready to start fourth grade. [/quote] My thoughts exactly and same thinking re next year and summer enrichment. We don’t need childcare during the time of SOAR so don’t want to take up space from someone else. Will finalize decision after talk with school. Thanks[/quote]
