[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son had something like this in 3rd grade -- it was a mixed 3/4 class.   They did it because they had enough kids for about 1 1/3 3rd grade AAP classes, and not the funds to have 2 small classes.

He had a terrific teacher, so it was just fine.   The 3rd graders in the class joined the other 3rd grade AAP class for science and social studies -- which was crowded, but ok.

OP says the 5th grade AAP kids will join the 5th grade general ed kids for science and social studies -- not the AAP class. [/quote]

At DC's center school, all students mix for math (by ability) and for science and social studies projects. Other times they stay in their class and rotate through all the teachers - GE and AAP. An example would be economics, where each teacher has a unit. The unit instruction is the same for GE and AAP, so it's easier for each teacher in the grade to specialize in one subsection. The teachers rotate in and out of AAP over time so they are all capable of teaching GE and AAP. This year DC's main teacher for GE class was an AAP teacher two years ago.  [/quote]
