by Sue

Jan 28, 2011

I have just started an afterschool program and am looking for suggestions/ideas on activities beyond homework that might be of interest to grade levels k-5. Right now, we service the chilren all at the same time within the same room(S).

Mar 23, 2011

My teammate and I have submitted a proposal for multiage 2nd/3rd grade. The problem we are facing is concerning "funding" for the programs. By this I mean, how will students be served in both grades when he/she may need extra services (EIP/ESOL/SPED/GIFTED)The concept of MA is not meant to have "pull-out." Has anyone had similar barriers? How did y...See More

3rd/4th Grade Center Activities

by Mrs.V

Mar 26, 2011

I am currently an after school program instructor for 3rd and 4th grade students and I was hoping I could get some ideas for center activities. I need activities that take no more than 20 minutes for English and math most importantly and maybe a few ideas for science and history that might be fun too. Any feedback would be appreciated...thanks!

Multi Age Training

by Susan

Jun 14, 2011

Our school is adopting the multiage classroom for our elementary division. Is there any online training that we could provide for our faculty?

If not what would be the best resources to train with during the summer. Our current curriculum is completely teacher directed and the admin. is not going to change it due to finances.

David Wilson I'm a first year teacher and was given a 3/4 split nine weeks into the year and I hate it. Unlike the previous respondent, teaching Math simultaneously has been a huge flop because of the vast differences in both the level of the students and the curriculum.

I certainly feel your frustration. I teach grades K-5 in one classroom. I'm a special education teacher, and in my district here in VA, it is a very common practice to lump all the grades together in one room, with varying exceptionalities and kids all along the spectrum. I'm assuming you are a general education teacher. I would love to have just two grades. I will give you these pointers, from the special ed. side of things: First, since the curriculum varies so much, teach ALL the kids the same thing. So, if only the fourth has elapsed time for math, teach ALL the kids elapsed time, then pull the fourth aside to reinforce, practice, do the application part of lesson plan, while 3rd practice another skill. Eliminate the running back and forth between two grades as much as possible, but for the sake of lesson planning and observations, make the clear distinction in your lesson plans. Also, how about having peer tutors. Can the 4th tutor the 3rd, or whoever is stronger in something become a class tutor? I hope this helps. I am mainly on the sped. and grade level chatboards, so feel free to email me at [email removed].
