[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So sorry.  I posted the Latin info and then noted that pp asked for what BASIS offers in 5th, not Latin. Misread that. [/quote]

Thank you, was interested in WL curriculum as well.  I think the CK sequence is richer for 5th grade -- integrated units on Pre-Columbian Civilizations, Renaissance in Europe, Reformation, English Civil War, Early Russia, Feudal Japan, American West, US Civil War/Reconstruction.  The literature includes Shakespeare and Cervantes (abridged), Frederick Douglass, Tom Sawyer, lots of poetry with integrated music and art history.  Imagine how strong the K-8 curriculum would be if DCPS supplemented the current standards with CK.[/quote]

Excellent.  Stellar.  Now tell me why nearly one-quarter of the kids still can't pass proficiency tests so easy that my 3rd grader scored 100% on the DC-CAS.  Actually, I'm fairly certain that she would have scored 100% on the 4th grade test.  Can I send her to Latin to take the 5th grade test next year to boost scores there?
