[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- the 29 kids is one class. That class stays together. Here’s their schedule-

8:40- breakfast and morning circle with an “extra teacher” I think she teaches something else after she sees them.

9:15- this is reading time. They don’t know who is teaching it. They said they will try to get subs and the reading specialist will help when she can. If they don’t have a sub, it will be whomever is available.

11:15- lunch/recess

12:25- Specials. They are hoping to keep this class together and not with the not hired yet teachers.

1:10- Math with the math specialist. Once a teacher gets hired, they will be broken up into smaller classes.

2:30- Sci/SsThey don’t know who will cover. They are hoping for daily subs until they can find someone. Until then, it will most likely be a different teacher or para than reading as the teachers also all have different jobs.

The other classes get to just stay with 1 teacher all day. I know you all say that I should just think this is fine and normal, but different teachers all day  and each day being different is not going to create the community that my child needs. And it will be a completely different experience than the other 4th grade classes.[/quote]Language arts either needs to be with the reading specialist (the same person every time) or one of the other grade level teachers.  It shouldn't be a rotating cast of subs and fill ins.  One of the other classes can have a rotating sub for science/ss too and that homeroom teacher can teach Language Arts twice per day--to your child's class and her class.

I don't know what it means that they'll be broken into small math classes eventually, but seems reasonable that they have math daily with the math specialist.

I'd worry less about science and ss and focus on getting a dedicated teacher for Language Arts.  [/quote]
