A multi-age classroom is like a big family where different aged children learn and play together in the same room. It's like having a brother or sister who is older or younger than you and you both share a room.
In a multi-age classroom, you might have children who are 4, 5, and 6 years old all learning and playing together. Sometimes, there might even be children who are 7 or 8 years old in the same class. That's because the teacher believes that children of different ages can learn from each other and work together.
In this type of classroom, the teacher plans lessons and activities that can challenge and engage each child at their own level while working alongside and learning from their peers. For example, an older child might be helping the younger child to practice reading while the younger child can teach the older child about a topic they are passionate about.
In a multi-age classroom, everyone has a chance to shine and contribute their unique abilities and strengths. It's like being part of a big team where you all work together to learn and grow.
