Re: 1/2 Combo class, Paula!
Posted by Nicki-Teacher on 9/10/08
This class may acrually benefit your son. I am teaching a 2/3
combo right now. I have high leveld 2nd Grade kids and low to
middle third graders. It is benificial to the thrid graders to
get review of what they learned last year to help them bridge to
the third grade content being taught. My third graders are
really thriving and my second graders are being challenged to
acheive even higher.
I hope this helps.
