Mixed lower and upper el

Due to low UE enrollment at my school (approx 120 students toddler thru 6th) next year I will be teaching 2nd thru 5th with possibly one sixth grader. Does anyone have experience teaching a mix of lower and upper elementary students? Any advice or things I should try?

I’m AMI trained for both LE and UE, my school is mostly AMS teachers but doesn’t hold accreditation, which doesn’t bother me because I like the flexibility it gives me with curriculum and materials. The one other elementary class will have K-1 (yes I know the class arrangements are not aligned with Montessori, but that part is out of my control).

Thoughts about my quilting style?

I’m self taught, been making quilts since 2017. I approach quilting in the same way I’d approach collage or painting, usually starting with a color palette and a collection of objects or fabrics. I have made some functional and some decorative quilts. I’m not very precise about corners, other fine details partially because of being self taught but also bc that isn’t the most important aspect of the process to me.

I am curious about the opinions of those who aren’t my close friends/family 😉 and interested in hearing about similar artists, or just art-critique comments about the pieces.
