Multi-age Classrooms

Multi-age classroom are filled with students with differing ability levels and ages. Students are taught in the same classroom using the same curriculum, without grade level designations. Each student progresses at their own pace through continuous progress. They will begin at a level that is right for them and then move on to the next level, as they are ready. Students have the advantage of having the same teacher for 2, 3, or even four years. Building and developing relationships between peers, teachers, and others in our school is an important part of the learning process.

My goal is to provide a safe and an inviting environment where children feel free to explore and grow in their learning. I will be a resource to students as they become more independent in their learning during the school year. Self direction will be an important goal for each child. Moving the responsibility from being told information to having the ability to locate it through research skills will be another goal this year for each child. A main focus for our classroom will be on becoming avid readers, accomplished writers, experienced mathematicians, and knowledgeable about the world around us.
