But mixed grades means that when the grades split up for math and reading lessons, one teacher has to find a new room.
"Every day one of us has to leave the room," Bhasin says. "There's supposed to be breakout spaces."
Breakout spaces are places where teachers can go to work with small groups.
The city and the school department have funded several projects to increase breakout space in Cambridgeport--for instance, using plywood to create small conference rooms on the building's second floor.
Even with the improvements, breakout spaces are a rare commodity at Cambridgeport.
Teachers say they waste time wandering the hallways looking for breakout spaces and often teach in the landings.
