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.

🚀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!”

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)!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Tell us about an act of kindness that impacted you this week!
To help students understand how kindness has its ripple effect, students shared an act of kindness they had shown with their classmates and then dropped a stone in the water to watch the ripples spread. They then discussed how their personal experience was like ripples in water.

Do you remember your bus driver?
Bus drivers are one of the first and last people students see during their school day. The opportunity to influence our students positively makes a difference in the hundreds of Zebras' lives who ride our buses daily.
THANK YOU for your commitment to MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
