[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why third grade? I can see for sixth and ninth as those students are changing schools but why third?[/quote] In a lot of schools, kids start rotating teachers in third. One for math, one for ELA. Maybe one for science. Etc. [/quote] Very true, but I’m not convinced they are going to be rotating teachers this year. [/quote] It's a grade with a lot of big jumps. Third grade really requires kids to put a lot of previously learned skills together and kicks things up academically. It's also the first grade we start testing. [/quote] +1 One way I've heard it put is that up to second grade, the focus is on learning to read. In third grade, that shift to reading to learn. The academics shift up, and the kids are expected to be reading independently, and will be synthesizing skills they've learned earlier. It's a big adjustment. At our school, they also have separate ELA and math teachers. [/quote]
