Hello everyone,

I will likely be teaching a Gr. 1-4 class next year. It
will be a very young class (heavy on 1's and 2's, lower
functioning 3's, average 4's). I would love to implement
the 4 Blocks method in this classroom. Any
advice/suggestions as to how I could make this work?

Thanks!

I have done 4 blocks with a three year span 2-3-4. Now the thing about this span,
is all the kids are already reading... it will definitely be different with 1-2. Don't
group by age, but by ability. A very strong 2nd grader could work with the fourth,
just as a very low 3rd could work with the 2nd.

Jessica gave you some great ideas. You definitely need to
divide the kids into a couple of groups, not be age.

Thank you Jessica and Deb! I know from my readings that I won't be
able to do a "pure" 4blocks classroom. I hope to follow the 4
blocks method as much as possible. Thank you so much for the great
suggestions.
