I've taught in a multiage classroom all but two of my 10
years of teaching, and have gotten pretty comfortable with
it. One of the areas I struggle with is the word wall. I
taught a stand alone first grade last year and really used
that word wall. It was wonderful. We had a daily
minilesson and activity. I feel like the kids really
learned a TON. We did it all in 15-20 minutes and it fit
just right into the day. Now I have 2 grades to incorporate
who have such different lists. 1st grade is basic sight
words. 2nd grade is so much more complex. I'm finding it
hard balancing the two with that time frame. I'm
considering differentiating completely and just fitting time
into writing conferences or something, but to be honest, I
know that wouldn't last. Any ideas?
