My son did Latin stems in 3rd grade AAP.

My son did latin stems this year in 4th grade AAP, is this what you are referring to?

Really? Is there a document that speaks to this being included?

Latin is included next year.

The individual schools might have them.

Is there any web site for AAp 3rd graders?

I don't know. What my 3rd grader did last year in AAP did not look much (if at all) harder than what I've seen in 3rd grade text books.

The 4th grade textbook was in our class and I did look through the first few chapters. No problem.

Here is a link to the new math curriculum that is starting this school year:

In third grade, my child did some 3rd grade math and then 4th grade math for the rest of the year.

But they did the usual 3rd grade curriculum for science and social studies. In third grade, AAP students take the same history and science SOL as all other third graders, so I don't think they deviate much from the curriculum in those subjects. They may do more or "extra" projects, but they cover the same material. Same in 4th grade. They do Virginia history in 4th grade because the 4th grade history SOL is all on Virginia history.

Since the 3rd and 4th grade reading SOL is mainly just reading comprehension and some grammar/spellingwriting mechanics, there is a lot more flexibility in the LA curriculum from school to school.

We were told this: 3rd grade math is completed in the 1st quarter, 4th grade math is completed in the last 3 quarters. Third grade also includes completing 4th grade language arts, science, and social studies (all 4 main subjects "compact" two years of work into one year.) That's why you hear the phrase "compacted math."

There isn't one. We can start one here.

I know that we're starting with 4th grade math from the get go.

Can someone point to some thread or provide some more information on what to expect in a 3rd grade AAP class? Thanks in advance.
