The group of kids in 4th grade is the smallest number in the school. There are 55 students. For the past 3 years, they have had 3 classes of 15-18 students. This year, the school decided to just divide them into 2 classes and so they now have 27-28 students. It will be a big adjustment for all!
The other thing that came out of that is there is no longer one high ability class. I agree that with only two classes you don't want labels like that. So they have split the high ability students into 2 clusters and placed them in each room. Each teacher will have special assignments and work time with high ability lessons for the clusters. I think that will work well for Camden and help her thrive in the areas she is strongest.
