I taught a 4/5 combo last year. I had one set of plans for
everything except social studies (and sometimes math) and
used a workshop model for reading/writing/science/math.
Most of the curriculum was based off the 5th grade
materials. In S.S. the two grades were doing the same kinds
of reading activities/projects at the same time, but with
different content.

This year most of my 4th graders will be looping up with me
and getting the 5th grade material again. Some of the
material will be review, but I will expect a deeper
learning/understanding than last year. Plus, they come into
the year knowing what to expect.
