[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Snow days are a great excuse to skip more content and never make up for it. Last June we had two half days to make up for 2-3 full snow days where kids just played around, and yet my ES kid did not cover a whole unit of instruction, ironically US History. And if I go and complain to the principal, room teacher or MCPS that the curriculum is not followed thoroughly, I will be crazy bigot. How do I dare to care for my kids education. [/quote] Mcps omitted a few of the ckla domains last year because it was the first year of ckla. They went back and re- added some of the skipped domains this year. They added back the farms unit for K and the Inca/Maya/Aztec unit for first grade. Not sure what was added in for other grades. Doing 12-13 units plus a research unit is a lot. There's also some spiral review (for example learning about the colonial America in kindergarten, first grade and 3rd grade, and then it's a big social studies unit in 5th) [/quote]
