3rd Graders play Fraction Human Bingo! How to Play: Students create a fraction by shading in a whole and writing the fraction on a blank piece of paper. Students sit in a grid and their fractions are called. Three in a row WINS! Fractions are so important because they lay the groundwork for time, money, and measurement. They are so much fun to learn! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

2nd graders are having a blast at recess when the weather allows, and they come up with all kinds of fun and entertaining games together while outside! Here, they created their own Conga Line! Aren't they creative!? #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

On this #wellnesswednesday, we want to stress the importance of reading together as a family. Even if your child is old enough to read on their own, it is still important for them to be read aloud to. Reading books aloud to children stimulates their imagination and expands their understanding of the world. It helps them develop language and listening skills and prepares them to understand the written word. What are you reading together as a family? Tell us in the comments. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
