When the multiage 3/4 team began, Mrs. Malloy's classroom was on the second floor and Ms. Sakai's classroom was in the "garden level" (basement). They communicated with walkie talkies and notes. Later, they used email and classroom phones, then mobile phones and texting. Six years ago, Ms. Sakai's classroom moved up to the second floor right next to Mrs. Malloy's classroom so our crews could be neighbors. They have worked cooperatively and happily together for 19 years.
