Question

what is the different cirriculum you must teach to the kids.

1st Grade

2nd Grade

3rd Grade

Answer 1

Depends on the state.  This information is usually posted on line.  Do an online search for "YOURSTATE Department of Education"  then look for curriculum.  I can tell you for Virginia if you happen to live here.....

Answer 2

I think gone are the days of this method of teaching. Slowly but surely a new principle of education is emerging with the following rules :

1) Nothing can be taught. A teacher is a helper and a guide.

2) A child should be consulted  in his growth. Nothing should be barbarously pushed down the throat of the student .

3) Work from near to far.

Th classes and the students will be far more lively, if these princioles are adhered to.

Answer 3

There is a HUGE difference.  It all depends on your state's mandated curriculum, which due to NCLB, is seeming to change on a nearly yearly basis.  

Sometimes the concepts may be similar - teaching plants in all three grades, but the depth of knowledge is different.  You build upon the previous years experience and knowledge and take the kids farther into the concept.
