A great source for some research is through jim grant and the sde. The website is sde.com
I looped with 2 group of kids for 3 years (k-2) and also (1-3) I have also looped or had multiage classes for 2 years. It was awesome and rewarding for both the students and the teacher. I happen to be the only one in my school looping now I am teaching a multiage class. It is also very rewarding. Because the first day of school is day 186 rather than the first day of school. Of course you go through routines again but you get to much deeper thinking sooner because you know the base the children had. -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: "Kay" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Happy New Year all! > I realize this question is off topic, but the list has been so quiet lately > that I can't find anyone's address to email privately. > Does anyone know of a good source for research - if there is any - regarding > looping with your class?
