Mrs. Ramsey’s 4th grade math class became PLACE VALUE DETECTIVES! 🧮 A member of the Petrifying Place Value Group left behind a NUMBER MESS in their classroom 😱 — and our detectives were on the case! Students worked through the evidence, solving place value questions and following the clues until they finally CAUGHT THE SUSPECT! 🚨👏 Who knew place value could involve this much detective work?! 🔍➕🔢 Great investigating, 4th grade! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Another sweet surprise last week! 🍪❤️

Kaitlyn from NSight for Life Counseling Services stopped by Catalayah to check in with our new counselor and brought along these ADORABLE cookies!

❤️ Cherokee Heritage Days at Catalayah! ❤️ Our friends from the Cherokee Nation Education Center spent time with our 3rd and 4th graders, giving students an opportunity to learn about and experience Cherokee culture and traditions firsthand! Students rotated through several hands-on activities, including traditional Game of Grace, stickball, and blowgun practice, and they even had the opportunity to learn about the Cherokee language. We love experiences like this that bring learning to life! Our students had so much fun while gaining a greater understanding and appreciation for the history, traditions, and culture of the Cherokee people. A huge Wado (thank you!) to our friends from Cherokee Nation for sharing their time, knowledge, and heritage with our Catalayah students! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Ms. Loyd’s 5th grade science class has already started with the hands-on experiments, and we are HERE for it! 🙌 Students put the Scientific Method into action by forming a hypothesis about how many drops of water they thought could fit on the surface of a penny. Then it was time to test their predictions, observe what happened, and record the results! Who knew a penny, a little water, and a dropper could turn into such a fun science lesson?! 🔬🪙💦 We have a feeling there are going to be LOTS of great experiments happening in Ms. Loyd’s class this year! ❤️🦓 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
