Most of the elementary schools now change cl***** for math and reading
at the very least.  

In the mid-70s, in Evanston, my children were in multi-grade
classrooms - 1st and 2nd together, 3rd and 4th or 4th and 5th
depending on the numbers in each grade.  This worked out well.  
My ds was cross-teamed for math in 3rd because it was a single grade
classroom.  Kids there moved for math and for reading groups.
