There is still Level IV Science and Social Studies. And the new basal curriculum is for the first quarter for now, they may be able to abbreviate after that. Also, the new basal curriculum has its own extensions for above grade students. It's only been a week. Wait and see how it goes.



AAP teacher here. The Language Arts extensions that FCPS has given us is a joke. They are basically just CCT strategies which we already embed.

Every 3rd grader in FCPS is doing the same thing for ELA for the first quarter, in every school, whether AAP or gen ed or anything else. This is the new basal curriculum.

It may change in the second quarter, or it may not.

Here's the link to the AAP Progress Report alignments. It describes the AAP extensions for the Grade 3 POS.
