Last week, our 4th graders explored how weight and force affect movement. In the spirit of the Super Bowl, they conducted experiments using paper footballs! They tested three different flicking methods and then added a paper clip to see if that small change affected the distance the football traveled. They also took a poll to predict the Super Bowl winner! Are you cheering for the Chiefs or the Eagles today? Let us know in the comments! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Our 4th-graders have been learning about LEDs and circuits. They created cards using batteries and LEDs and discussed the importance of storing them safely, as batteries can be hazardous. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

How Sick Is Too Sick For School? Tis the season in Oklahoma - sniffling, sneezing, coughing, headache, fever, tummy aches, nausea, etc. We miss our students when absent, but sometimes they need to recover at home; how do you make that decision? CPS encourages following the Oklahoma State Department of Health guidelines. These guidelines will help the child recover and protect against the spread of illnesses to other students and staff. Remember, students/staff should only return to school after being fever-free, vomiting or diarrhea-free for 24 hours without medication.
