This week's Classroom Close-Up highlights Ms. Dana Eden’s Essentials class at Wheaton North High School. In CUSD200, the Essentials program emphasizes daily life skills, functional academics, community awareness, recreational and leisure activities, and vocational tasks.
Students in Ms. Eden’s class are given the opportunity to participate in community trips twice a week, helping them build independence while honing communication, social, and problem-solving skills. This week, they visited Mariano's in Wheaton to shop for ingredients for upcoming class cooking projects. During the trip, students engaged their critical thinking skills to locate items on their shopping lists, utilized social skills to ask for assistance and navigate the busy store, and practiced math skills to stay within their budget while being mindful of their surroundings. #YourCommunitySchools

Classroom Close-Up:
We recently visited Ms. Kim Nestel's fourth grade class at Madison Elementary School, where she co-teaches with Ms. Jane Park, a teacher for multilingual learners.
The students recently finished reading the historical novel "Blood on the River" by Elisa Carbone. This captivating story follows Samuel Collier, a young orphan who embarks on a journey from London to the New World as a servant to Captain John Smith. Through Samuel's eyes, students experienced the hardships and conflicts faced by the early English colonists in Jamestown.
To culminate their learning, students were challenged to step into the shoes of either a commoner or a gentleman. In alignment with the Bookworms Curriculum, students were tasked with writing a persuasive letter home to their families, urging them to either join them in the exciting New World or remain safely in England.
Drawing upon the details and historical insights from the novel, students crafted compelling letters, expressing their unique perspectives using persuasive language. The classroom then transformed into a lively forum as students presented their letters, practicing their public speaking and reading skills while attempting to sway their classmates with their persuasive arguments.
This engaging project not only fostered a deeper understanding of historical events, but also developed crucial critical thinking, writing, and communication skills. #YourCommunitySchools
