Catalayah Elementary

What a great way to start our day!!! We had an exciting Rise and Shine assembly to celebrate our 10 years as a GE Model School!!! Mrs. Early was here to present our 10 year certificate!!! We loved having the special guests and being all together for the assembly!!!! Great job Teachers, Staff and Mrs. Shuck on this wonderful accomplishment!!! Stay tuned for a video of our assembly! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

I have something really cool to tell you. Mrs. Ritter's 5th grade class wrote AND PUBLISHED a book!!!! The class voted on what the book would be about. The students came up with the topics or ideas and then they had a class vote. The topic that won was.....animals!! Each student picked an animal they wanted to write about. They shared facts they learned about their animal and even drew a picture!! They each had the option to order a book and they even ordered one for the library so all Catalayah students can check it out and read it!!!! This is so cool!!! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Look at what these students made with their makey makey kit! Makey Makey is an invention kit designed to connect everyday objects to computer keys. Using a circuit board, alligator clips, and a USB cable, the toy uses closed loop electrical signals to send the computer either a keyboard stroke or mouse click signal. They have been using the kit with play doh to control lights and a buzzer. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

It’s National Library Week!!!! What are some favorite books at your house?? #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

📚 THANK YOUR LIBRARIAN TODAY 📚 “A library is a good place to go when you feel unhappy, for there, in a book, you may find encouragement and comfort. A library is a good place to go when you feel bewildered or undecided, for there, in a book, you may have your question answered. Books are good company, in sad times and happy times, for books are people - people who have managed to stay alive by hiding between the covers of a book." [Letters of Note; Troy (MI, USA) Public Library, 1971] ― E.B. White It's National Library Workers Day and we can't think of any better way to celebrate than to visit your school librarian and check out a book. I know they will have a recommendation for whatever you want to feel between the pages of a good book. THANK YOU!!! Catalayah - Andrea Riggs Claremont - Ashley Troyer Roosa - Vanessa Mudd Westside - Brittany Lang WRJH - Donna Eddings CHS - Casey Moss #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Mrs. Lewis did a fun lesson about density . They made a liquid rainbow using a clear glass jar, Honey, Dish Soap, Water, Olive Oil, Rubbing Alcohol, food coloring. What a fun science experiment!!! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Mrs. Lewis brought her class a special treat yesterday for April Fool’s Day, Brown E’s!! 😂 After everyone got to “enjoy” their brown e’s for a few minutes she did give her class brownies!!!! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

WIN TIME!!! During win time students get a chance to work on what they need extra help with!! This time is such a great addition to our schedule. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

We have babies!!! Mrs. Wallis is teaching her 2nd grade class about he life cycle of a chicken. They learned that it takes 21 days for the egg to hatch and that the chicks have a special beak at birth called an "egg tooth" to help them break out of their shell. The class not only learned about the life cycle but also about the anatomy of the egg and a hen. They got to witness the egg cracking and the baby chicks being born! They learned about the incubator and the process of hatching the chicks as well as what it takes to care for the chicks after they are born. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Earlier this week our Kindergarten classes were able to attend the Stephen Fite concert at the PAC. Stephen Fite is an award-winning children's musician/writer who creates funtastic music for the classroom. Stephen Fite has been performing for children in a concert setting since 1985. Our kids were able to ride the bus (some of them have never been on a bus before!) to the PAC, enjoy the concert and then spend some time at the park enjoying the beautiful weather while having a picnic!!! It was such a fun day!! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

5th graders were learning about how humans impact our environment with our actions. (using fossil fuels, building/using land, types of pollution, wasting water, not recycling, etc.) During a recent distance learning day the students created posters showing one human activity with a negative environmental impact, and how they could reduce that impact with their actions. For example, turning off the water while brushing your teeth instead of leaving it running the whole time. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Don't forget..... we are having Running Club tomorrow too!!!! Let's enjoy this beautiful weather and get movin outside! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Exciting News!!! This coming week, Monday March 28 AND Tuesday March 29th- we will be having RUNNING CLUB!!!! The weather should be nice!! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
