[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had our open house and the teacher for my child (who was in ELC) said this year the curriculum is just the same CKLA as everyone else. I thought it was supposed to be accelerated? Has anyone actually seen what this is supposed to look like? So frustrating because ELC was so great last year [/quote]

If they are in Model 1 (cohorted class) there is supposed to be I believe 1 or 2 extra CKLA units and some extra projects.  If they are in Model 2 (mixed class) there are no extra units, there's supposed to be some enrichment for qualifying kids but I don't know how that's supposed to work.  Also both groups are supposed to get some extra enrichment activities during FIT time.[/quote]

It’s supposed to be model 1, which I was very happy about. But apparently so far the teacher read them a picture book and not much else and honestly didn’t seem to be planning on doing anything accelerated whatsoever. I know it’s early days but it’s just so disappointing, they read so many great books and did wonderful projects last year.[/quote]

If it's Model 1 then I believe they are required (or at least expected) to follow the accelerated schedule that MCPS has given schools, but it is also not so hugely accelerated that you would necessarily notice it, especially early in the year.  The extra projects and reading assignments will likely be more visible but day 2 is just really, really early to expect to see that.  My kid doesn't even start meeting with her Model 1 class the first time until tomorrow, the first two days were mostly just settling in.[/quote]
