I have always felt that students of different ages/classes should work together in some learning activities and also that they should reach out to the community far and near. Thus, each school I teach at, I will seek out other classroom on and off the campus to collaborate with so that all can experience multiage learning activities. Sometimes we will do things with community members too! Some activities I have collaborated with other classes and community members are:
