North Wayne Community Unit School District 200 issued the following announcement on Sept. 27.
Every year, students in Ms. Curato’s 5th grade class at Whittier Elementary study the novel, Bridge to Terabithia. This year’s study was truly an experience as the entire classroom was transformed into their own Terabithia and students spent the day as kings and queens.
Room transformations are an incredible way to cultivate student engagement and create a buzz around learning. When students can actually experience what they are learning, they are more invested and it sets the stage for inquiry, rich conversations and ownership.
