I teach in a wonderful blended mixed aged preschool classroom at Burr Elementary, a Chicago Public School. Many of my students come from low income families and have diverse learning and physical challenges. Even facing these challenges, my students come to school eager to learn, make friends, and feel safe. We have worked hard to make a truly special classroom community that includes each and everyone of us and celebrates each of us as we are.
