Multigrade
In the multigrade classroom, the grades are taught according to the alternation plan with the exception of 1st and 2nd grade. Due to the developmental needs of these grades, they must be taught at grade level.
In multigrade classrooms that include kindergarten, teachers have the option of using the kindergarten level of the NAD adopted textbooks or Kindergarten Stepping Stones which is the NAD integrated kindergarten curriculum.
K-2 BRIDGE is an integrated curriculum for K-1 or K-2 multigrade classrooms. Some units are currently available while others are in development.
