This week in dd's K-1 room, the youngers are reviewing the middle of the alphabet, finishing writing single digits, and moving on to shapes. They begin individualized reading instruction at the end of October, and from her sister's experience, the sky's the limit in reading then.
There is plenty going on in the room socially, and she's learning to count by 10, 5, and 2's. We are quite happy. But this is a reasonable expectation for a high achieving district. Anything more would probably require acceleration in most places.
