Anser Charter School has built a school culture where students create quality work for authentic audiences, and where students are used to getting feedback in a variety of critique settings to improve their work. For many years, Kindergartners in this school studied birds, and created beautiful note cards with a scientific illustration of a bird on the front of the card and information about the bird on the back. Those cards were printed on a quality cardstock, bundled in boxed sets and sold in the community and throughout the state, including at state rest stops on highways; all the profits were used to support preservation of bird habitats.
