The jump from 3rd to 4th is crazy. Class sizes being 21-24 students in 3rd to 28-35 in 4th.

The jump you’re describing is the jump from 2nd to 3rd here. My third graders are expected to analyze, cite, and justify their answers for RLA on top of typing these responses. 😅

The issue I have seen for years is the lack of number sense and multiplication facts. So hard as our students are moving into harder math.

This is me trying to get literally EVERYONE to understand the drastic jump from third grade math to fourth grade math, and what they are really expecting these kids to do now

All of that is so true. Ours go from 2 20 minute recesses to 1 15 minute and class size 22-24 to 32. It is wild!

Can you apply what you already know…Are you noticing that so many are missing the prerequisite skills?

I give a letter out every year at Open House explaining the jump. So many parents think because third is the first EOG thats where the biggest jump is.
