Technology makes our world smaller and our gives our students more opportunities to learn directly from authors, astronauts, and animal lovers. Kindergarten had the privilege of meeting author Laureanna Raymond-Duvernell, author of Under in the Mud in a virtual author visit! Students loved hearing the book read aloud by the author and learning about the little "secrets" embedded in the illustrations! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Would you try green eggs & ham?? CPS cafeteria staff and teachers were all in for Green Eggs & Ham day. Turns out our students do like them, Sam I am. “And I will eat them in the rain. And in the dark. And on a train. And in a car. And in a tree. They are so good, so good, you see!” - Dr. Suess #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

"To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow." -Audrey Hepburn Kindergartners were so excited to plant their own container garden!

🍊Orange you glad you can read?

🎶Chop it like it’s hot. Chop it like it’s hot. Chop it like it’s hot. It’s never too early to start teaching students how to make healthy food choices, master basic cooking skills and engage in a little friendly competition. Sodexo Schools has spent the last decade helping students practice their culinary skills through the Future Chefs Challenge. Each of these Zebra finalists will move to the district competition this Tuesday. Students submitted recipes for a fruit or vegetable side dish at the district level. On Tuesday the students will prepare the dish with the assistance of a Sodexo employee. The recipes will be judged on taste, healthiness, kid friendliness, originality, ease of preparation, plate presentation and student chef presentations to the judges. The winner at each district then moves on to a regional round with others across the nation. One winner is chosen at the end of the contest and named the National Champion. Congratulations to our site winners: Landon, Claremont; Ruby, Blake, and Olivia, Catalayah; Elianna, Roosa; and Gunner, Westside #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Fourth grade students modeled incredible teamwork while researching natural disasters. Not only did they work together to research, but they also created a script to report their findings in a newscast format. Ms. Palmer filmed their broadcasts as they presented so they could look back on them and evaluate their public speaking skills. A great example of a teaching strategy LEARN > PROCESS > DEMONSTRATE > TEACH > EVALUATE #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
