Abstract	In this paper the author relates her experiences as an advisor to elementary school teachers on the subject of building curriculum. The philosophy expressed in her narrative is that learning begins when children seek the answers to their own questions and that curriculum can be developed out of children's immediate environment. The teacher must become a diagnostician who observes the child, listens to the child, takes cues from the child, and then plans for the child's progress in learning. Field trips and exploration of the community and environment arouse interest and curiosity in children. From this beginning point, the teacher can build a flexible curriculum incorporating the basic skills of reading, writing, and mathematics into a learning experience that relates to the world outside the classroom. The enthusiasm and interest of the teacher is of great importance to this method of teaching. The feeling of learning with the children rather than "teaching" them helps the teacher to grow as an individual and a professional. (JD)
