How do you handle the lower kids in your class??? Often the
older kids in my class are the lower kids as well. Our
school has (K/1) (1/2) (2/3) etc. so there is always some
overlap and often the older kids are the ones who need more
time to develop their skills.

In my 2/3 class the some 3rd graders are always lower. I
also have high kids, so my range in curriculum could really
go from 1st-4th grade. In any case, I worry about the kids
who are always the oldest, because in reading groups and in
math, they are almost always in the lower groups as well.
This means they are functioning a year behind all the time.
I have a girl right now who is doing 2nd grade math and
struggling with that as a 3rd grader. I imagine next year
she will be in a 3/4 and placed in a 3rd grade math group.
In 5th grade she could be in a 4th grade math group? So she
will never get 5th grade math??? My groups are homogenous
in terms of ability but mixed age. I have 2 third graders
doing second grade math, but also have 3 second graders
doing the third.
Do we just assume in middle school she will also be
remediated? Do you hold all your students to grade level
standards or meet them where they are at? I fully believe
in meeting where they are at, but if they are always
falling short of grade level standards, what do you do?
On the same note, the kids who are always a grade ahead, by
fifth grade will have to repeat 5th grade math again, as
our school does not have 6th grade... this is a quandry(sp)
to be about teaching mixed age classes.

I teach in a multi-age class, and it seems that usually

My problem is mostly when it comes to small groups. I do
small groups for reading, spelling and math. They are
ability based, and not by age. I teach a 2/3 class, and
actually have a 2nd grade math group, a 3rd grade, and an
advanced 3rd grade. But my question is about the kids that
fall high or low. If I have a 3rd grader doing 2nd grade
math, and in 4th grade they do 3rd, and in 5th grade they
do 4th--- then they graduate our school never having done
5th grade math. However, we are MEETING the child where she
is at as well as definitely giving the child challenging
work at his or her ability. Sometimes they may catch up,
but what if they don't?
They leave the school behind... I guess this happens to
kids in regular classrooms as well... but do you think it
happens more in multiage? Also, what do you do to make sure
they are exposed to the correct material?

Can anyone tell me what the middle of an hour glass is
called?

does anyone know of any multiage conferences coming up?

Is special training needed to teach in a Multiage
Classroom?

My school's numbers are low and they have decided to
combine some grades. We will have a K, K/1, 1, 2, 2/3,
and 3. Does anyone have advice on how to make class
assignments? We do not want to have only the top kids,
etc. but a normal distribution like in our other rooms. I

Here's what I found:
"Two globes (also called phials or ampules) of glass are
connected by a narrow throat so that sand (with relatively
uniform grain size) flows from the upper globe to the lower."
