[MOSAIC] departmentalization

[Delores Gibson]

Does  anyone  have  and/or  know  of  where  I  can  go  to  find  research  on  departmental  teaching  for  FIRST  GRADE?   Some  of  the  teachers  want  to  seen  six  year  olds  from  room  to  room  (switch classes)  for  reading  and  math.   I'm  opposed  because  I  believe  strongly  in  self-contained  classroom  for  first  grade.    Instead  of  just  doing  it  because  it  might  be  easier  I  can't  get  anyone  to  tell  me  what  research  supports  or  does  not  support  this  for  first  grade.  HELP!!!!
Dee
