TEAM TEACHING & MULTI-AGE

[MR TONY L POPE <FKPD35A@PRODIGY.COM>]

Friends, this year my school has two multi-age teachers (one teaching
1st-2nd graders and one teaching 2nd, 3rd, 4th graders) and two team
teachers (one group has a 1st grade and one has Kind. class and they
mix-group kids; the other team group is two 3rd grade teachers).

Have any of you had experience with groups like this in the library?
How do you deal with teching certain skills taught to certain grade
levels (for instance...in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th grade combo???).

The problem that is coming up with those who are team teaching is
that they want to bring both classes to the library at the same time.
 One group tried this at the end of the school year last year...even
though it was only about 30 kids it was a struggle to get anything
done.  This year they have even more.  The K-1 team teachers have
about 38 kids!

Thanks in advance for any shared experiences!
