Hi,



I am going to hold an afterschool enrichment class designed for 3rd to 5th
graders.  The organizer made a mistake of taking in a lot of 2nd graders as
well. Now, the class has 8 2nd graders, 10 3rd graders, 10 4th & 5th
graders.    Yes, I do have one instructor and two assistants.  However, I
just think including 2nd graders  in the same curriculum is just too
unrealistic.



Now, since the organizer has already informed and accepted the enrollment of
these 2nd graders who most likely very much look forward  to the class, I
hate to disappoint them by removing them.



My next immediate solution is to move the 2nd graders to another class, but
it leaves budgeting problem as far as making payment to another instructor.
I wonder if I can borrow ideas of the most sensible solutions to this
situation.



Suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Well, as the father of a 1st grader reading and doing match at the 3rd grade
level.... I'd say let them do their best to keep up with the rest, they may just
surprise you!

<SNIP> (...) Blast it, I meant math, not match... by typo, bad! As a side note, both my 1st and 3rd grade daughters are designing competition robots, so far the 1st graders looks more likely to be successfully competitive. (19 years ago, 9-Mar-05, to lugnet.robotics.edu)
