A.B.C. Multiage Classroom
(Achievement Blends with Creativity)
 Welcome to our busy classroom! We are a Kindergarten through Third grade multiage program located at Rolling Hills School, in Fullerton School District, located in
Fullerton, California.
The Classroom Environment

At
the core of our philosophy is a desire to provide meaningful learning
experiences for students within the framework of state and district
mandated standards. District provided materials are at the center of
our approach, and from there we weave in other excellent materials and
activities to move children from one learning level to the next. We
assess our students frequently and then teach to the next level.
Students are expected to work independently for part of their day on a
menu of jobs which will allow them to practice their skills. Students
are also pulled into flexible learning groups for small group
instruction in skill areas they have not yet mastered. Please click
"About Our Classroom" on the sidebar for more information.
Arts Infused Curriculum
At the heart of our program is a strong arts infused curriculum, including:
DRAMA: Students participate in a new teacher-directed play each year which culminates a one-semester drama unit. (4 year cycle) Students
have the opportunity to work on technical aspects of putting on a
production as well as acting.
MUSIC/DANCE:
Students participate in a one-trimester music/dance/rhythms strand with
performances done throughout the year. (4 year cycle) Students first
through third grades participate in a one-trimester music notation
program, where they explore the fundamentals of reading music using
Orff-style instruments. (3 year cycle).
VISUAL
ARTS: Students participate in a yearlong art program each year,
profiling several famous artists and styles which inspire
them to create works of their own and write about them. Artistic
creations are showcased in student Art Books at Open House in the spring. (4 year cycle of plays).

MUSIC/VISUAL
ARTIST APPRECIATION: Students participate in a composer-artist study
each year. Three artists, three composers, and one jazz musician are
studied during each year. (4 year cycle)

We are so fortunate to have Mrs. Bernhardt and Dawson come read with the students in our ABC program a few times a month! Dawson is a black Labrador Retriever and he loves kids and listening to books. The students go read to him in our garden with their cross-age buddy. We love reading to Dawson!

The iPods have arrived... watch the video to see how the children like them!
