Post: GR in a 2/3 split

I am teaching a 2/3 split. It is 2/3 of the waty through
the year. I am frustrated with my GR block. I have 12
grade3 students and 7 grade 2 students. However, last year
the grade 1/2 teacher had 3 of my current grade 2 students
complete the grade 2 basal series that our school uses. So
I have been including them in with my grade 3 students.
That has left me with two separate curriculums to teach in
my GR block; one group of 4 students at gr.2 level
(actually their reading level) and one group of 15 students
with reediing levels between grade 3 and grade 6. I am
struggling with getting good intrauction in to both groups
during that blcok, with not bein able to chooose
appropriate material for both groups to read all together
(there is too much variety in their needs to teach a whole
group lesson), and with the fact that the year is 2/3 over
and maybe I should just finish out with what I am doing
now. Except that I really feel my students would all
benefit much more from more interaction with me and I am
exhausted from running from one group to the other every
day. Help!?
