🎆🎇Have you ever wondered how fireworks get their different colors?
Ms. Golbek's Chem I class used the flame testing technique to determine cations' identity in unknown solutions based upon the colors at which they burn. This is the same basis for the colors seen in fireworks.

Mrs. Howard's class, at Roosa Elementary, participated in the monthly Devon Thunder Explorer activity, designed to promote STEM concepts through activities.
Mrs. Howard's class did the "If the Shoe Fits" activity with her 4th grade students. Students were to trace, draw, and label each part of the foot and use this data to create a shoe with different materials. The students used cardboard, hot glue, tape, felt, yarn, and paint to create their shoes.
Her students went to work! Mrs. Howard won $500 to spend for her classroom!
Way to go Roosa 4th grade!!!

Today's #WellnessWednesday reminds us our WORDS HAVE POWER - 50 WAYS TO EMPOWER OUR CHILDREN
As adults, how we speak to our children is so important. Showing your child you believe in them through encouraging words is something that will empower them in ways unimaginable as they grow up — and those feelings of support and reassurance will stick with them well into adulthood. Validating who they are and reassuring them that they're enough, they're important, and they can do whatever they put their mind to is a powerful message for all of our CPS students.
Read through this list of empowering phrases you can say to your child daily to help them feel confident and encourage their sense of self.
1. Your dreams are important.

We've got another winter weather challenge for our Zebra families. Let's make some Ice Marbles.
Put a few drops of food coloring or Kool-aid powder into a balloon then fill with water. Place outside and let it freeze. Depending on how big the balloons are and how cold it is, this will take about 24 hours. Hold them up to the light to see if they are frozen all the way through.
Join Finley, Alayna & Brecken from Westside and submit your photos in the comments of the CPS FB page.

Reese had watched a YouTube tutorial about how to make calming bubble bottles. She told her teacher about it, and Mrs. Casey let her do a demonstration to her classmates. What a great example of maximizing a teachable moment! Reese may not realize the public speaking skills she was developing, the confidence she was building, but she will always remember her teacher valued her and encouraged her interests that day.
