[quote=Anonymous]I went to the grading meeting for my second grader.  Here is what I understand with respect to math:  the classroom teacher assesses the kids and breaks them into small groups to conduct differentiated lessons.  If the teacher exhausts the second grade math curriculum with any students, she will consult a third grade teacher for the next appropriate lessons for the second grader.  In other words, rather than the second grader going to a third grade classroom to learn third grade math, she'll get third grade math instruction in her second grade classroom.  I am not sure, however, how many small groups one second grade teacher can effectively teach.  If she has 20 kids on 10 different levels, can she effectively give time to all 10 levels, or will the kids at the more advanced levels get ignored (or be instructed to help other children in the class) or will they get moved to a specialist for more advanced instruction or will they be grouped with less advanced kids.

The real problem is this years 3rd graders, according to our principal, because there is no curriculum 2.0 formally for fourth grade yet, so consulting the fourth grade teacher for advanced lessons for a third grader may not result in lessons that correlate to 2.0 in fourth grade once it is rolled out next year.[/quote]
