As part of PBIS, CCSD93 teachers use positive specific praise to reinforce responsible behavior, rewarding students with PBIS currency like a Paw or JayBuck. Noticing peers lacked awareness of this, Western Trails’ Expect Respect Kids Club created fun lessons to teach them!

Coach Goss is the best!!

For the first time, D93’s 3rd graders are using the Fundations program for reading, spelling & handwriting. Aligned with the science of reading, it supports lifelong literacy. Western Trails students are practicing cursive & using Baby Echo the Owl for phonics lessons!

Today, 3rd graders at Western Trails participated in an immersive plant lesson, first learning about vegetation, and then sowing carrot, radish and green onion seeds in see-through planters that will allow the students to view the root systems as they grow!

Check out our budding meteorologist! 3rd graders collected weather data on 2 different cities, analyzed the data, and then used the green screen to help present their findings. Thank you for your help, @WildcatReader93, we are so proud of their scientific work! @CCSD93 @alroker
