How to teach multigrade class?

Hi there Ninskie! That would be really hard to do. Where are you teaching anyway? I think that it's almost impossible because these grades, of course, have different curriculum. I think the best possible thing to do is to teach them lessons separately. You can teach a certain grade, then give them activities and while they are on their activity, you can teach the next grade and give them activity after that. What would be better, though, is maybe meet them on different days. You can have Grade 1 students on Monday and Tuesday, Grade 2 on Wednesday and Thursday and Grade 3 on Friday and Saturday.

Find the common ground in the lessons for all the grades. Begin with the basic, which will be new for grade 1s and review for 2s and 3s. Then start the 1s on worksheets and homework while you contine with the harder part for the 2s, and then they will start on worksheets and homework while you continue with the hardest part for the 3s. Once you have this routine established, 3s can be reviewing work from the day before while you work on the easier stuff with the 1s and 2s, before you move to the lesson for the 3s. In any classroom, children should be treated as individuals as much as possible, and not treated like some homogeonous group, anyway. As much individual attention as you can give is the key to good teaching, so help the kids work at their own pace. Anyone capable of handling grade 3 work should be doing it, even if that child is only grade 1 or 2, and grade 3s who are behind will benefit from peers (grade 1s and 2s) who are at the same level.
