[quote=Anonymous]I taught in a school that did this from time to time due to the balance of numbers. For example, third grade had ten too many and fourth had ten too many, so a combination was formed. (For example, two classes in each grade had five over--district would only allot one more teacher...... When this occurred where I taught, the combination had the best students from both grades. Some people think you would take the slow from fourth and the smartest from third--but that is not the way it works. The best students were chosen because they could adapt and work more independently. Language arts and Math (as I understand) were taught as in any classroom--there may have been a wide span, but there is a wide span in all classes. I'm pretty sure that SS was taught according to the grade. I'm not sure how Science was handled. I think it worked pretty well.[/quote]
