The Multiage Concept

Our Multiage family is comprised of children 6-9 years of age. It is a “non-graded” classroom that has two grades combined (first and second). Students who enter as "first graders" stay for at least two years, sometimes three. The purpose of our classroom is to provide experiences for learning while giving each student the opportunity to find success on their own path of growth: socially, emotionally, and intellectually. Our curriculum is largely theme based, integrating all areas of learning: reading, spelling, writing, math, science, and social studies. Each child is viewed as an individual member of a community of learners, “a family”. Our Multiage features all areas of instruction: large group, flexible small group instruction, and individual instruction. The curriculum is based around the Oklahoma PASS, National Standards, & the district's instructional expectations for first/second grade. Every child is working on their own independent level and moving forward, not being left behind. Our Multiage Family is a place where children are loved and encouraged. They are helped to discover their own interests, talents, and abilities. Each student is valued, listened to, encouraged, and given many choices every day. Our program implements a “hands on” approach to learning. Mrs. Blunt has high expectations for every student! Her goal is for every child to experience success while being challenged.
