Rolling Creations

We took all we learned about balance and motion to create runway systems that went far and with some added bumps and turns.  It was a busy time of designing and redesigning to get the best results. Students were most impressed when a system traveled a lot of distance and had a dramatic finish like a jump into a bucket.  We enjoyed watching everyone's creation.

Learning About Owls

We did a lot of research about owls. We read many books that taught us about their anatomy and why they are called birds of prey. We also learned about many different kinds of owls. In science we pulled apart owl pellets to learn what they eat by identifying the bones.

Learning About Butterflies

Judy Seigler is a retired u46 teacher and member of the Wayne Garden Club. Her club worked with the 6th grade class when they were ready to dig the butterfly garden in the back of our school. Mrs. Seigler came to our school to tell us about the different plants that attract butterflies. We learned the names of many of the plants and identified them by using pictures of the flowers. We also learned how important butterflies are to nature. We are anxious to observe our butterfly garden again once spring comes.

Being An Entomologist!

In second grade we are entomologist or scientists who study insects. Out first learning adventure was creating a habitat for a mealworm. We observed its growth from a mealworm, pupa, and beetle. We also had ants. waxworms, and butterfly larvae in our room to watch the lifecycle and compare the changes.
