[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Each principal can decide what works best with their staff and teacher-to-student ratios. Your 4th grader will experience some departmentalization next year, as they’ll have a classroom teacher, a music teacher, an art teacher, and a PE teacher, and they’ll transition to those various locations in the school. It’s not crucial for the kids to have a different teacher for science and math than they have for reading, writing and social studies.[/quote] As someone who’s been in exactly the OP’s situation, I disagree. Changing teachers for Science, Reading, and Math absolutely prepared my older kid to be better prepared for the varying expectations of different teachers and needing to take their things with them from class to class. Much different than leaving all your stuff and going to art/music/p.e once a day.[/quote]
