[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]A special education teacher does not understand classroom management and is therefore unqualified to comment on the developmental appropriateness of a kindergarten Common Core standard? [/quote]

Suggesting that a kid who has asthma stay inside while the others are at recess indicates that she is a total fraud.  She clearly does not understand how classrooms work--at least not public ones.

I don't get the connection between classroom management and the developmental appropriateness of a Common Core standard. [/quote]

I'm really confused here but I think there was some kind of discussion going on about how you could teach missing addend to K students (what number goes with 8 to make 10?) by making fruit salad.....not really something you would be doing on a routine basis with a classroom of 27 students was the classroom management point.

However, "How many more needed to make 10?" is a very common concept in early elementary mathematics and it is a vital concept to learn, and there are many developmentally appropriate ways to teach this concept to children in K and grade 1, and even to kids with LDs and kids who speak no English.   YOu don't need to make fruit salad; there are many activities and games you can use.

I did post earlier that I do think this is an advanced standards for K students; it should only come after the more basic skills have been mastered; and it is even possible that it should be moved to 1st grade.   I feel that way about this particular standards; most of the other K standards are fine IMO.[/quote]
