I teach a kindergarten and first grade multiage classroom of 25 children in a charter school that just opened last fall in a high-need community in Illinois. We are the first Expeditionary Learning School in our city. Our philosophy is "children learn by doing and learning has no boundaries." Our mission is to give children real world practice of the skills they learn in the classroom. Generous and kind donations are what is needed in order to fulfill our mission- to give students hands on experiences of what they are learning. We don't just want to read about something- we want to do it!
