We teach at the Ancona School, a small, progressive elementary school in the Hyde Park area of Chicago’s South Side. Each year, our school’s Gone Fishin’ trip combines physical education with outdoor recreation. It’s also a great help to own or borrow enough rods to use them in PE classes prior to the trip.
