Seniors may act like they're too cool to make giant compound sentences with appropriate conjunctions and punctuation, but they secretly enjoy it. Mrs. Jill Andrews' class broke into small groups and had a competition to see who could make the longest compound-complex sentence with correct punctuation, of course. First place was 22 clauses. Second place was 21 clauses. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Mrs. Williams is currently teaching her CHS Art I class the grid method for drawing in proportion. This method is a gentle push into helping beginner artists look at comparing measurements and identifying relationships between the different aspects/features of a subject. For example, one corner of the mouth may be slightly higher than the other; the shape of one nostril might be slightly more triangular than the other. "I have a great group of Art I kids; they are working hard to make their portraits as accurate as they can," Mrs. Williams told us. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Students were tasked with creating an image made entirely from pieces of functions and equations that they would write themselves. Function types include polynomial, absolute value, radical, rational, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric, conic, etc. Working through this process helps students build functional fluency, as well as, familiarity with domain restrictions - both are integral for success in a calculus course. Students were required to meet certain criteria; many of them went above and beyond to create what they had envisioned. Some, using over 100 equations to produce their art." #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
