Interactive Learning Activities at WHEC
Posted on 03/18/2024
Students at the Wyomissing Hills Elementary Center are exploring new learning strategies with the implementation of new activities. Mrs. Hughes, Mrs. Wojciechowski, and Mrs. Heist-Albright created a “discovery room'' which provides students with an opportunity to engage in a variety of learning activities. These activities engage students in kindergarten through fourth grade providing age-appropriate activities for all. The room recently took on a snow theme and was complete with fiction and nonfiction books, stuffed animals, the evolution of the snowshoe, building stations to make snowmen and snowflakes, STEM bins to create igloos and launchers, and a matching game for students. In addition to other fun activities, there was a graffiti wall for students to write their “notices” and “wonders” as they explored various aspects of the room. Hughes, Wojciechowski, and Heist-Albright learned about the power of Discovery Rooms through their participation in the Total Experience Learning program with Albright College and brought the experience to life for our Spartans. These rooms help ignite student curiosity about a new topic, provide students with materials to jump-start their learning, and provide a variety of ways for them to engage with their peers while investigating new ideas.
Shoutout to our dedicated educators who used their creativity to develop these valuable learning experiences for our students! We look forward to seeing more interactive bulletin boards, discovery rooms, and discovery tables around the District!
