Catalayah celebrated National Read Aloud Day earlier this month!!! Some of the staff members, students, and even a former staff member sent in pictures and videos of how they celebrated Read Aloud Day at their houses. You don't have to have a national holiday to read aloud. Grab a book, a blanket, a cozy spot and read aloud to a family member or friend. Check out the video https://youtu.be/KsRFNYgLH4g and go to ur FB page and recommend a book for others to read in the comments. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

The advantage of using a desktop computer is that the mouse has a scroll wheel that allows a person to scroll through the content on a website quickly. But when using a laptop computer, the trackpads do not have a scroll wheel.

President Lincoln visited with 1st grades at Roosa during their distance learning day. Mrs. Page had a growth mindset before this pandemic but has thrived at learning new technology and incorporating it into her classroom during this time. Improving her skills, curriculum, keeping students engaged, and moving forward highlights her example of what it is to have #CPSZEBRAPRIDE as a teacher. She has embodied this quote - "Beavers build houses; but they build them in nowise differently, or better now, than they did, five thousand years ago. Ants, and honey-bees, provide food for winter; but just in the same way they did, when Solomon referred the sluggard to them as patterns of prudence. Man is not the only animal who labors; but he is the only one who improves his workmanship." - Abraham Lincoln. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Mrs. Geranen's class is learning about text features, the building blocks they will need to be lifelong learners. Text features help the reader make sense of what they are reading, go hand-in-hand with comprehension, and help determine what is essential to the text and the reader. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

CPS believes the essential skill of being a life-long learner and having a growth mindset is grounded in the ability to teach yourself in this ever-changing world. The ability to research effectively and efficiently enables people to identify a problem, collect informational resources that can help address the issue, evaluate these resources for quality and relevance, and develop an effective solution. Claremont 4th graders attended a mini-lesson given by Mrs. Troyer, our Library Media Specialist, where they learn research skills for their upcoming informational report. Students brainstormed keywords for their topic, learned about different website domains, which were more likely to be a useful resource, and learned about using Boolean operators when searching for their reports. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Betsy Douthitt, the Kindergarten teacher, is the Catalayah Elementary School site Teacher of the Year. Mrs. Douthitt cherishes every day with her students - a new journey, a new day to make a difference in theory lives. She is fueled by those "aha" moments, from writing their name to tying their shoes for the first time. "Students come to me from various backgrounds and vastly different skill levels each year. Regardless of their abilities, I meet each student at their level and work with them to make sure they get what they need academically, socially, and emotionally to be successful in the future. I help to develop and instill in my students a love of learning, which will follow them throughout their lives." Mrs. Douthitt centers her instruction around an educational partnership with students, parents, and administration to include academics and social/emotional development. "They know every day --- I will communicate with them and their parents clear expectations, greet them at the door with a smile, be patient, follow an organized routine and be flexible. My kindergarteners can count on me!!" #CPSZEBRAPRIDE https://bit.ly/2OLVaJH
