Our third graders are diving into "If the World Were a Village" in Expanded Learning as part of Lit Camp—where reading meets creativity, friendship, and fun! 📖✨ This powerful book shrinks the world’s population to just 100 people, helping students understand who we are, where we live, and how we grow as a global community. To bring these lessons to life, students engage in hands-on activities that connect reading with real-world learning. Check out this fun teamwork game led by Ms. Kari! 🏆 Just like the villagers in the book, our students are discovering the power of collaboration, problem-solving, and empathy—all while having a blast! #EveryMomentMatters #WaterfordCares #ExpandedLearning
