QUESTIONS

I know that some of you have questions like:

What is a split class? 

A split class is where one teacher has two grade levels of students in their class. I will have my class of (so far) 31 students split between 4th graders (15) and 5th graders (16). I am teaching both grade levels in the same classroom, at the same time.

How can you teach two grades together? 

It will be hard but my admin, coaches, and fellow teachers are helping me work out the best schedule for me and my students.

Why can’t you get help from your school or district? 

Unfortunately, part of the reason that I am teaching a split is because there is not enough money. The school and district can’t help me with everything I want or need for my classroom. If I don’t reach out for help from other sources, I end up buying most of what I need from my own pocket. Honestly, I wish I didn't have to reach out and ask for help like this... Unfortunately, funding for education continues to get cut, which leads me to this position.

This sounds familiar, haven't you done this before?

I did teach a 4th/5th split two years ago. This year will be harder though as I cannot combine my language arts lessons. So I have nothing that I'm teaching the two grade levels that are the same.

Thank you for any of the support you can give. I truly appreciate it. Every time people donate to my class, I make sure to make a big deal about it with my students. When they find it's been donated by people they don't know, they take much better care of it for some reason. In my classroom, we cherish everything that is given to us.
