McConnell Elementary School students welcome you to view our collaborative projects with schools from around the globe. The IEARN Learning Circles project provides an opportunity for students to connect with students to collaborate on projects and publish their completed work. The Learning Circle begins with introductions, class surveys to learn about the school and community, project development, and student work. The last phase is the  finalization of the publication of their projects. The circle will last approximately 16 weeks. The fall session runs from September through December. The spring session  begins in January and will go through May. Participants in the current learning circle represent the following countries: U.S., Russia, England, Pakistan, Australia, Moldova, Nigeria, Romania, and Taiwan.
