Weekly Word & Quote
CITIZENSHIP: behaving in a responsible manner as a citizen of a community.“We know what a person thinks, not when he tells us what he thinks, but by his actions.”- Isaac Singer

About Us
- Mrs. Jones' Junior Geniuses
- Hi we are room 22. We are Multiage students & we maintain this blog. This blog is a way of asking questions, writing about the things we are learning, discussing ideas from many sources, (books, blogs, letters, interviews) and reflecting on those ideas. This is also a way for our parents to stay informed about happenings in our room. Our teacher is Ms. J. You can comment on our questions or about our writings. We are 1st & 2nd graders, so of course Ms. J moderates this blog for us. If this blog has inspired you & you want to leave us a positive comment, please click on "comment" under a current posting. Thanks for visiting our Multiage Family!
The Multiage Concept
Our Multiage family is comprised of children 6-9 years of age. It is a “non-graded” classroom that has two grades combined (first and second). Students who enter as "first graders" stay for at least two years, sometimes three. The purpose of our classroom is to provide experiences for learning while giving each student the opportunity to find success on their own path of growth: socially, emotionally, and intellectually. Our curriculum is largely theme based, integrating all areas of learning: reading, spelling, writing, math, science, and social studies. Each child is viewed as an individual member of a community of learners, “a family”. Our Multiage features all areas of instruction: large group, flexible small group instruction, and individual instruction. The curriculum is based around the Oklahoma PASS, National Standards, & the district's instructional expectations for first/second grade. Every child is working on their own independent level and moving forward, not being left behind. Our Multiage Family is a place where children are loved and encouraged. They are helped to discover their own interests, talents, and abilities. Each student is valued, listened to, encouraged, and given many choices every day. Our program implements a “hands on” approach to learning. Mrs. J has high expectations for every student! Her goal is for every child to experience success while being challenged.

Back packs & folders need to be brought to school daily. Please remember to sign your child's daily progress report & reading log nightly. The students check them in daily. Each Monday I file each child's progress report in their portfolio, so please leave it in their folder. Thank You!
Weekly News
Our classroom newsletter goes out every Monday afternoon in English & Spanish. Our monthly snack & events calendar goes out in English & Spanish on the first Monday of every month.
Weekly Reading/Spelling Bags
Colored Vinyl Reading/Spelling Bags go home the first day of each week with your child. It is usually Mondays, unless there is no school on Monday. In that case it will go home on Tuesday. In the bag you will find your child's spelling list & paper phonics reader. Please have your child look over their spelling words & paper reader nightly. The bag is due back on the last day of the week. Please make sure their spelling list is signed & that the paper reader is enclosed. We will have a spelling test over the words on the last day of each week.
