PBIS

Our school follows the PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention Systems) to promote good behavior in our school. Our year kicked off with a PBIS celebration where expected school behaviors were discussed by Dr. DeLaMar. Grace is sharing her ideas of how to be a WOW students at Wayne! Students are given WOW tickets when seen following Wayne's Way..."We are respectful, responsible, and resourceful." Our first prize opportunity was an extra recess if your WOW ticket was pulled.

Identifying Habitats

The students investigated the ground around our school in search of habitats. They located many included spider webs, nests, a wasp nest, and many located under rocks and woodchips. Soon the students will be creating their own habitat and observing changes in living things.

Happy Reading!

We have lots of opportunities to read in room 3. We might read by ourselves or with a buddy. We are always practicing our comprehension strategies or fluency.

Our First Week

Check out photos from our first week together. It was exciting to make new friends and learn about some of our new learning adventures we will experience.

Mystery Genre

We began learning about a new genre in class, mysteries. The students are learning how to take notes of the clues, suspects, and events to solve a crime or prank in our newest genre study. Many of the students have never read a mystery before. Some students are choosing new mystery titles to read on their own.

Amelia Bedelia Fashion Show

What would Amelia Bedelia think sunglasses are? Well, glasses with suns right on them! The students were very creative designing outfits that only Amelia Bedelia understands. Our event continued in our classroom for some refreshments because we know that is what Amelia Bedelia was best at...cooking!

South Elgin HS Band!

We had a rockin' visit from the South Elgin High School band! The students were inspired by their performance and many are asking when they can take band. Lucky for our students they can start in fifth grade and have lessons at school!
