School programs 4th grade - a benchmark
dear all
Our daughter just started 4th grade at ACS-Doha coming from an Italian school. I am a bit puzzled as, since now, they did very very easy things, that she did in second grade in Italy.
E.g. math: the 2 times table! how to write numbers in letters - the concepts of "less than....greater than..."
English: spelling of very very simple words - absolutely non challenging for her! I imagine that a mother tongue kid should learn how to write those words in first grade. e.g. words like maid - make - do - undo -and so on.
Not even a word regarding grammar.
I am very puzzled.
What is your experience? What should they do in 4th grade in the american system?
If they go on like this, I have to homeschool her in the afternoon not only in italian Grammar, geography and history (which I expected) but even in math, in order to keep up with the Italian programme!!!
I am pretty discouraged.....
