There is a school in my district where all teachers loop 1-2. Since I only had a few new students in my class, we had a brief refresher (I had to switch rooms so I changed a few things), but got right to learning! It was great because the kids knew what I expected and so did the parents:) I would love to do it again!<br /><br /><a href="http://primaryclassroomsareoceansoffun.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Primary Classrooms are Oceans of Fun</a>Beach Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02857506754302369545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6207016768122429498.post-85205645800374083932013-05-26T20:10:55.961-07:002013-05-26T20:10:55.961-07:00I looped up last year with my kinder class.

I did have some new students and my previous students just kind of stepped in and helped out when it came to training them my classroom procedures. My problems came at the end of the year, with all the excitment of the end of the year activties kids get rowdy and because my kids have been together so long, they were pretty much comfortable with everyone else in the classroom no matter where I moved them. My best advice: have a strong classroom management plan. I really loved looping this year.

Thank you for all of the great comments! I think that we all need to switch things up from time to time, and I guess this is my time! :)Jen's Kinder Kidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10745405281461700428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6207016768122429498.post-74008370551827236382013-05-26T07:58:34.664-07:002013-05-26T07:58:34.664-07:00I have never looped but have a dear teacher friend...I have never looped but have a dear teacher friend that has looped her class for three years! They will be leaving her next year and coming to my fifth grade class. She LOVES looping. Her students know her systems backwards and forwards and she can jump in to curriculum first thing. Each year she changes up her behavior plans and classroom management techniques so it doesn't get old for the kids. The bond she has made with her students and families is priceless! I think you will adore first grade! <br /><br />Keep us posted.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/TeachingMagic" rel="nofollow"> New Teaching Video!

I really enjoyed it. The kids were great, I already knew them well. It was really hard to let go of them after two years. Unfortunately, getting back to Kindergarten did take another year for me. Our numbers fluctuate each year so we don't always have the same number of teachers in each grade level. I'm back now and I hope to stay for a few more years before I go back up again!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00827401608677447554noreply@blogger.com
