Mrs. Beck Shares A New Story!

Reported By: Katelyn
Mrs. Beck came into our classroom to share a book with us. It is called "Martina, The Beautiful Cockroach." It was a great story! Emily told us she has two coackroaches as pets. Mrs. Beck told us she bought the book at our book fair. We were her first class she read it to. She's a great principal! The story is about a cockroach who is in need of a husband. She finds one who is kind and has a Cuban grandmother just like her. Some of the words were in Spanish. We loved the book and Mrs. Beck's visit.

Meet Martin Luther King!

Reported By: Dante
A man from Historical Perspectives came to Wayne Elementary to act out Martin Luther King's life. Martlin Luther King could not play baseball with his friends because he was black and they were white. Martin didn't like this rule. He worked hard to change the rules so everyone was treated equal.
