In Mrs. Sanders's class at Westside, they are working on number sense for the next few weeks and the importance of recognizing number words and numbers quickly in groups, with tallies, dice, ten frames, in groups of ones and tens, and even on their fingers. This is so essential for math success in later grades! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Mrs. Naegele's students at WRJH participated in a team building/problem-solving activity this week. The leader was the only team member allowed to touch the puzzle pieces. The hard part- the leader had to keep their eyes CLOSED! The goal was for students to develop problem-solving strategies and the ability to communicate mathematically while working with a team. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Check this out! Ms. Johnsons class received an awesome donation of books, supplies, and stress balls from their classroom sponsor, Sunloan. As you can see her students are pumped and grateful! 😊 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Check out what Mrs. Ward's 1st-grade class has been working on this past week. Their book study this week was Nerdy Birdy! Nerdy Birdy didn't fit in with the "cool" birds but eventually found a flock of birds just like him! However, that's not where the story ends. Vulture comes along. She's nothing like the nerdy birds. Nerdy Birdy friends her even when the rest of the group won't get to know her. It's a sweet story about being friends with all types of people and celebrating our differences! They used the story to learn about the setting, vocabulary, sentence structure, writing, friendship, and birds! During Friday Float time, Mrs. Christian and Mrs. Roller spiraled in lessons about the life cycle of eagles and bird beaks! The students made a little bird feeder to reinforce the lessons! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

8th grade students in Mrs. Newbury's science class practiced their measuring skills using different objects and scientific tools. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
