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.

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.

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.

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.

❄It's been a while since we had any snow...outside.
The warmer weather forecast called for a snowball fight in Mrs. Campbell's class. After throwing and collecting their snowballs, students would practice reading the sight words written on them. It was snow much fun!

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!
