Expeditionary Learning

When students and teachers are engaged in work that is challenging, adventurous and meaningful, learning and achievement flourish. Our mission is to create classrooms where teachers can fulfill their highest aspirations, and students achieve more than they think possible, becoming active contributors to building a better world.

Explore PK8 1st grade students in Mrs. Ptaszynski's art class are learning about the difference between warm and cool colors. To put their knowledge to the test, students drew cats and dogs and could only use a warm or cool color palette when filling in their lines.
