Re: Any one-room school teachers?
Posted by Adrienne on 4/25/07

    Phew! How do you do it? I thought a 1/2 combo was a
    challenge. I can't imagine all of the standards, curriculum
    areas, and special needs you must be juggling.

    As I said, I teach a 1/2 combination class and use the
    Houghton Mifflin program as well. I've found that the stories
    on CD work well as an independent and engaging activity for
    students to participate in while you are teaching a mini-
    lesson to other students. I also have students pair up to do
    worksheets from Houghton Mifflin and rely on each other to
    answer questions while I am instructing the other grade. This
    way, I can make the most of my direct instructional time
    without being interrupted.

    Email me directly at adriennella2000@yahoo.com if you would
    like to talk more or have specific questions.
