CHICAGO — February marks six months since the first bus carrying migrants arrived in Chicago from Texas. Others followed, carrying an estimated 4,000 people, including 775 children. Many of those children are now enrolled in schools across the city and suburbs. WGN Investigates recently spent a day in the classroom to gauge how some of the youngest students are faring. One of them, Stiven, 5, recently arrived from Honduras. He has been attending El Valor, a nonprofit early learning center on the city's Southwest Side.
