Christy: The first thing you need to do with K-3rd is find out
where your children are. The good news is that as multi-age
teachers, we know them so well from having them through the
years we can estimate their levels and know their learning
styles. Using running records (have they taught you this? If
not, look up "Marie Clay" to get an overview. DRA (diagnostic
reading assessment) is also a great help. You want to find out
where they are reading, how they are writing, and what
challenges they have in math and spelling. Plan lots of
writing prompts to help you. Then, with this information, you
can begin to group and plan lessons based on the individual
needs of your group geared toward your curriculum goals. Hope
that helps! Lynn
