We have enjoyed our time getting to know each other! Mrs. Blunt read a book called Elmer about an elephant that is different from the other elephants. We talked about respecting one another's differences. We should like people for who they are on the inside not the outside.

We have had a great first week! We have had a lot of fun getting to know each other. One way we get to know each other is by graphing things about ourselves. This first week, we got to go up to our new interactive Mead board to graph whether we are a boy or girl. We love our new Mead board!
We are a Multiage 1st/2nd grade class with 21 students. Our teacher, Mrs. Blunt, is going to help us maintain our blog. We will be posting comments together. We hope you visit us often and leave us some positive comments.
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.
About Mrs. Blunt
This is my tenth year of teaching. My fifth year to teach Multiage - and I love it! I have been married for 8 years. My husband is the PE teacher at another elementary school here in Tahlequah.
