Split Level Classrooms
As in the past, class placements are communicated in June and your child may be considered for this opportunity. Split classrooms provide varied educational experiences much like the other classrooms in our building. These experiences align grade level state expectations for both grades.
However, in addition to each grade level focusing on their grade-level content, the multi-age approach to instruction allows children to progress and grow from his or her ability level, as the teacher provides instruction that is appropriate for the child’s learning, including offering enrichment and additional support in each content area that is tailored to individual student needs.
Split level classrooms are a great opportunity for students with a strong ability to work independently, grow and expand their learning at an accelerated pace. For example, we utilize reading and writing workshop in the classroom, which provides opportunities for all students to complete reading and writing tasks that are at an appropriate level and skill. While working in math, if a child demonstrates mastery of a given standard, they are stretched to learn additional content or to delve deeper into the concept.
If you have additional questions regarding split level classrooms please don't hesitate to contact me at 810-667-2438 or by email at rdowney@lapeerschools.org.
