[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]But do you think that makes the standards developmentally inappropriate? Or do you think that makes the standards difficult for your first-graders, who were disadvantaged by being poor? [/quote]

I also taught K in a diverse environment--not so disadvantaged.  I do think they are inappropriate.  Impossible? No.  Wise? No.  I worry about what the kids are missing.[/quote]

OK, so can you be specific?

Here are three standards:

[quote]CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.K.1 
With prompting and support, ask and answer questions about key details in a text.

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.K.2 
With prompting and support, retell familiar stories, including key details.

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.K.3 
With prompting and support, identify characters, settings, and major events in a story. 
[/quote]

So if you sit down with your poor kids, and read them a story, say "The Gingerbread Man"; a few times..... then you ask them a question about a key detail:

"Who ate the Gingerbread man at the end?"

expecting the answer; "The fox!"   (There's a picture of the fox at the end of the story, gobbling up the Gingerbread Man)

This is too hard for poor K kids to do?   Why?[/quote]
