[quote=Anonymous]For parents of kids in AAP grades 3-8:

1) Do your kids get assigned novels to read? If so, how many and which ones? What grades are these assigned? 
2) Do your kids discuss novels they've read in class? 
3) Is Caesars vocabulary effective? 
4) Do your kids learn any history outside of American history or Native American history? If so, what history do they learn and which grade(s)?

5th
1) Yes - also had several books to choose from.  She read [u]Where the Red Fern Grows[/u], [u]The Abracadabra Kid[/u], and [u]The Moon and I[/u].  The school also has a Battle of the Books that 5th and 6th graders participate.   However, this is open to all classes not just AAP.   Each class sends a certain number of participants and they battle each other to see who can answer the most questions about the books. I think there are 5 books.

4) Yes, the year started out with The Dig.   Group project where they created their own civilization and created a time capsule that the other kids could dig up.  The school has ended with the Global Awareness Technology Project.  Another group  presentation comparing/contrastng different cultures, governments, etc. [/quote]
