School Bus Safety Week is coming to an end but school bus safety continues to be important every day. Our transportation staff reminds us how to safely exit the bus. Please review these steps with your children. ▶ https://youtu.be/6NIA297Hq60 🚌 When the bus approaches, stand at least three giant steps (6 feet) away from the curb, and line up away from the street. 🚌 Wait until the bus stops, the door opens, and the driver says that it’s okay before stepping onto the bus. 🚌 If you have to cross the street in front of the bus, walk on the sidewalk or along the side of the road to a point at least five giant steps (10 feet) ahead of the bus before you cross. Be sure that the bus driver can see you, and you can see the bus driver. 🚌 Use the handrails to avoid falls. When exiting the bus, be careful that clothing with drawstrings and book bags with straps don’t get caught in the handrails or doors. 🚌 Never walk behind the bus. 🚌 Walk at least three giant steps away from the side of the bus. 🚌 If you drop something near the bus, tell the bus driver. Never try to pick it up because the driver may not be able to see you. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

PE had fun playing Sink the Ship - Four ships adventure into the gym with their flotation devices or plastic bowling pins.

Miss Bart's 5th grade math class had a "Safari Restaurant," giving the student a real-life situation to practice adding decimals. Students were given menus with prices. They had to plan out their meal by adding all items, including tax and a tip. They then determine how much change they were to receive. The lesson ended with actual snacks. #CPSZEBRAPRID

Our neighboring church, First Claremore, is always willing to support our school community. Their generosity to our teachers, students, and families has afforded our school a replacement laminator.

🎃 1st grade asked the question, will Pumpkin Jack sink or float? They discussed the hypothesis and created an experiment to prove it to be true or false. The outcome was - it floats! Some students asked if they brought the pumpkin outside would the result be the same? They took the pumpkin outside; the hypothesis turned out to be the same and led to some great thoughts about the air inside the pumpkin. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

🧠 4th grade students 'got cranial' with a Mystery Science Halloween activity. Students learn about the structure and function of their skulls. They combined science with art as they examined their heads and made discoveries about their skulls. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
