💜 Compassion 💜 Empathy 💜 Community 💜 Humanitarianism GE Life Principles that create a climate of mutual respect in our schools. Last week Roosa Elementary students and staff demonstrated these principles and wore purple for Payge and Sage to bring awareness about Chiari disorder. Chiari Awareness: Chiari is a severe neurological disorder where the bottom part of the brain, the cerebellum, descends out of the skull and crowds the spinal cord, putting pressure on both the brain and spine, causing many symptoms. Two students at Roosa Elementary, Payge Henderson and Sage Roper, have this rare diagnosis. #purpleforchiari #chiarilife #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Education spans far more than what a teacher teaches from the board. Mrs. LaValley’s 2nd grade class at Roosa took ownership of their learning by reading books on their level during “cookie bookie.” This activity requires students to select books in their range, find a spot around the room that meets their learning style, and enjoy cookies while they read. Students stay engaged and focused on reading when their needs are met academically, environmentally, and socially. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Music is excellent for academic success. Studies show that music lessons can enhance language skills, cognitive ability and even memory! Mrs. Keener's 3rd-grade music students had a blast getting to play on instruments during class. Did you know xylophone means "sound of wood?" #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
