wilmettebeacon.com LIFE & ARTS the wilmette beacon | June 27, 2019 | 25 Posted to WilmetteBeaconDaily.com 6 days ago Kenilworth school implements innovative inclusion program Hilary Anderson Freelance Reporter Three young children recently walked down a Hollywood-like red carpet to their special seats in Kenilworth’s Joseph Sears School auditorium for the special viewing of documentaries about them at the Nora’s Night Film Festival. Wilmette’s Caroline Dennis, 5, and Henry Jacoby, 5, and Highland Park’s Nora Levy, 5, were the celebrities. The youngsters starred in documentaries demonstrating an innovative inclusion program called The Nora Project implemented in each of three Kenilworth’s Sears School second grade classrooms by teachers Barb Rodriguez, Jennifer Garza and Alison Gilchrist. All three youngsters have some type of physical or developmental disability. Each was paired last fall with Sears School second-graders who do not have disabilities. “We had a hard time teaching the children about empathy,” Barb Rodriguez said. “It is a hard concept to teach without something concrete they can see and experience. I heard about The Nora Project, got in touch with the organization and the outcome was a far more positive one than we could ever have anticipated.” The documentaries showed how accepting of each other the secondgraders were of their three new Nora friends. Wilmette’s Brittany Jacoby (left), holding son, Henry, is joined by Wilmette’s Jamie Dennis, with daughter, Caroline, 5, and Highland Park’s Lauren Schrero and daughter Nora Levy, 5, a the Joseph Sears School in Kenilworth. Photos submitted “The second-graders took ownership and came up with ideas for things to do with them [Nora friends] that were engaging,” Rodriguez said. “They knew Henry liked trains so they would put train tracks on the floor for him. He also liked things that could be pushed so his Nora friends took out airplanes and cars for him.” “The children met one afternoon a month for an hour,” said Brittnay Jacoby, Henry’s mother. “Every visit the Sears children built on what Henry could do.” His disability is related to a gene mutation. “It was like Christmas morning whenever we came,” Jacoby said. “Henry was so happy being with his new Sears friends. It was beautiful to watch.” “Nora loved music,” Jennifer Garza said. “Some of our second-graders went to the school’s music teacher and asked to borrow hand-held instruments that would make music for a special band.” “Caroline — known as CJ by her friends at Sears School — loved water so we brought out the water table for her,” Alison Gilchrist said. “She liked watching the children pouring water, floating things and watching her friends play with the water.” The Sears second-graders had access to Ipads and took video and still shots of their Nora’s friends. They interviewed the parents of their Nora friends and narrated parts of the video. With the help of teachers, they pieced them together for the documentaries. “The children are more capable than we give them credit for,” Gilchrist said. “The Sears School families and friends witnessed how the second graders looked past any disabilities of their new Nora friends and grew to be their big supporters and truly enjoyed playing with them,” Garza said. “We heard from parents who said their children would go home and talk about their Nora friends.” The Nora Project was founded and so named by Schrero in honor of her daughter, Nora, who was born weighing one pound, underwent five surgeries before she turned two. “I want everyone to know all of the Noras — children with disabilities — have stories that matter and teach us the value of empathy and inclusion,” she said. “The school programming like what occurred in the second grade at Kenilworth’s Sears School allows students to explore disability, adaptation and friendship in exciting and innovative ways.” “We want to start early and emphasize that regardless of how one looks, talks or walks, children with disabilities have more in common with their peers than not,” Schrero said. “Many children with disabilities find themselves excluded from ordinary activities by their peers,” Jamie Dennis said. “Some parents shy away from inviting children with disabilities to play groups or parties because they do not know how to deal with a young person who has a physical disability or is developmentally delayed. We moved to Wilmette because we knew Caroline, who is nonverbal and has a rare form of epilepsy, would need early intervention like that available at Wilmette’s Romona School.” Nora Levy plays outside with the students. The Nora Project teaches second-graders the characteristics of a good friend. She had family to help with her daughter but found it difficult at first to find a playgroup for Caroline. “I learned about The Nora Project through a Wilmette mother who started her own play group for her son who had a disability,” Dennis said.
