| Abstract: | Project Friends is a learning community based on our confidence in the multi-age classroom as a valuable and viable vehicle
for teaching young children. Our three multi-age classrooms of kinder-garten, first- and second-grade children were the served
as the setting for Project Friends. In this article, we share our beginnings, significant features and outcomes of the learning
community, and our reflections on a year ended in Project Friends. Our experiences and the experiences of the children in
the multi-age classrooms continue to provide rich contexts for teaching and learning in the elementary school.
Supported by school/university collaboration. |
