Yes to looping
By sharon

I looped with my students this year (3rd to 4th), and it was a wonderful experience. I have even been contemplating moving with them again. Furthermore, I had to become accustom to the larger class size.

For the most
part I have had a wonderful year. I have seen my kids really grow. From the very beginning I was able to tie into each of their strengths, as well as, their weaknesses. I have children are at various academic abilities and I am very proud of them all.
Basically the only down fall (or I should say thing that slowed down progress) was the fact that I had about 8 additional children

this year. I had to take into account that the 8 children that I didn't have in 3rd grade had to start off fresh. They had to learn the class rules and routines. However, my previous students were a big help at getting them "into the groove".

I loved the experience of looping and I would defintly do it again. Good luck.
