During Black History Month, 5th grade students read Bud, Not Buddy - a novel set in the 1930s which focuses on an orphan who runs away to find his father, who he believes is the leader of a Jazz band. When he finds the man he's looking for, the man is not what he expected. Still, his search brings closure and offers him a real home. Students extended their learning with research activity, utilizing their 1:1 technology devices, on the black depression era jazz artists. ✔Reading ✔History ✔Organization of material ✔Writing ✔Digital IQ ✔... #CPSZEBRAPRIDE #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

The Glass Slipper will open on March 18th for the 2023 prom season. They will be open every Saturday from March 18 to April 29. No appointment is necessary. Come by from 10a-2:30p and find the perfect dress to borrow (for free). This is a non-profit ministry of Cedar Point Church. Have a dress hanging in your closet...they rely on donations. Drop it by the church, anytime. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Second grade is learning about the water cycle. After reading the book Wild Weather., they made water cycle mobiles to hang in the class.🌧️☀️ 🧠 This may seem like a fun craft to you, but it is an actual teaching strategy to engage the student's auditory, visual and kinesthetic learning modes which increases learning. It also gives them an opportunity to work on fine and gross motor skills. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

What book did your child check out this week at the library? #CPSZEBRAPRIDE #ReadAcrossAmerica

🚀Helping students find their place in space! Mrs. Rahn spent a few days training like an astronaut in a scuba diving session and learning authentic, engaging lessons on space exploration at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX! She attended the Space Exploration Educators Conference. “I’m excited to bring back these amazing lessons taught by NASA experts & teachers to my Artemis Generation students. I love sharing job opportunities with students with STEM concepts in action!” #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

You have the right to READ! Anything you read can and will make you smarter... If you can not afford a book you can check on out at a library. If you can not read CPD/RCSD officers will read a book to you (even if you can read they will still read it to you)! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE #ReadAcrossAmerica

Westside classes each have a "Westie Bestie" partner class. These Westie Besties support and help one another throughout the school year. Ms. Palmer's 4th-grade students used their Zebra bucks to join centers with their Westie Besties in Ms. Pilant's class. Students of all grade levels love the opportunity to help and interact with their peers. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

My hairstyle today is called, "Too busy reading to care about hair." #CPSZEBRAPRIDE #ReadAcrossAmerica

CPS is CRAZY for reading... and socks apparently. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE #ReadAcrossAmerica

CPS counselors are valued and build a positive infrastructure that allows students to learn at high levels. Our counselors are an integral asset to our teaching staff and students, focusing on various social and emotional topics with all classes. Mrs. Lyons recently joined Mrs. Collins' second-grade students, teaching them to give and receive apologies appropriately. Help our students practice. 🍦It was wrong because... 🍦Can I do anything to make it better? 🍦I'm sorry for... 🍦Next time I will... #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Even if it is a conversation about your favorite book. Be like these students and get “caught” reading. #2023READACROSSAMERICAWEEK #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Our younger students love it when older students volunteer in their classrooms. What a positive way to show support from one class to another. Here are a couple of third graders who went to the kindergarten class to read and explore new books. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Who would you write about? 4th graders in Mrs. Troyer's WIN group are learning about influential African Americans during Black History Month. Students chose one person they wanted to learn more about and put their learning to work writing a 5 paragraph essay about that person's life and achievements. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Teaching entrepreneurship in elementary school??? That's just what Westside GT classes are learning. The students created a button production business plan in order to raise money for their activities. Button designs promote kindness, encouragement, sports, hobbies, music, and holidays. Like all good corporate citizens, the students choose to give a portion of their profits back to Westside. After their first spirit button sale, they presented their first donation of $64 to Mrs. Hinds. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Mrs. T's 5th-grade Gifted/Talented (GT) class explors some of the new materials provided by a CPSF grant. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
