[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, I'm not the one signing up my kid for CML!  The school is doing it--we are at Haycock Elementary.  And, this is the first time I've seen this also, so that's why I'm asking.  My other child is in 6th grade and they have math competition (via a team) but the 6th grader didn't have CML in 2nd grade.  I'm trying to understand if it's a FCPS thing that got instituted this year or something across the county, but it sounds like that is not the case.  But every 2nd grader at Haycock is taking the CML this year and I'm starting to wonder why.[/quote]

Haycock has given CML's for awhile to 2nd grade and above.  My recollection is that these CML's usually are done later in the school year, but the school may be starting early this year for the full-time AAP assessment.  Frankly, I never paid attention to them for my two kids.  But, what I learned recently is that parents actually do prepare their kids for CMLs and similar math problems because they go into GBRS assessment and also can be a good work sample for the school to submit.  Given that GBRS will be even more important this year, I think that (1) Haycock and similar schools will give them out earlier in the year to students to help with the school's GBRS assessment and (2) parents who are in-the-know will be making sure (or already have) that their kids will be ready.
