1st graders practice fluency. What is fluency, you ask? Reading fluency is a child's ability to read a book or other text accurately, with a reasonable speed and appropriate expression. Fluency comes when a student does not have to stop and decode each word, but can focus their attention on what the story or text means. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

3rd grade students in Mrs. Proctor's class participate in an Exemplar Challenge! An Exemplar Challenge is a practice that aids in a student's writing process by helping them to become more aware of what and how they write. For an Exemplar Challenge, students are given a pre-written essay and challenged to find and fix the errors that lie within. This challenge develops writers who think more critically about their own writing. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

On this #wellnesswednesday, we want to encourage you to continue to Practice Thankfulness! Though December is the busiest time of year for most, it is important to remember to slow down, breathe, and practice being thankful. Holidays can bring stress and chaos with them - so don't forget to remember your family's mental and emotional well-being! Practicing thankfulness can come in all shapes and sizes, and can bring so much joy to your family during a hectic holiday season. Here are a few ways to practice being thankful: - Go screen free for a day! Use that time to get closer as a family and be intentional about spending time together. Take some time to talk about the things you as a family are thankful for. - Make family meals a priority, and while at the table, talk to one another! Ask each other about your day - the highs and lows, what made you happy or sad. - Get outside! Getting outside together can be a great way to enjoy each others company. Don't forget to take some time to talk about what you are thankful for! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Time to STRETCH! Before beginning their gym activities, Mrs. Steuart always leads students in several stretching exercises. Stretching helps move joints through a full range of motions, helping to keep ligaments and tendons flexible. It helps to prevent injury and improve athletic performance. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Since the beginning of the year, our Resource Teacher Mrs. Massey has been spending time with 4th graders working on spelling multi-syllabic words. In this exercise, Mrs. Massey tells the students how many syllables are in the word, and then syllable by syllable goes through the word with the students until they are able to identify what it is at the end. This is a great exercise in reading as well as spelling! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Mrs. Francis continues to encourage students to create art in and out of the school building. One way she does this, in addition to the Brag Wall, is to allow students days throughout the year where they get to create something on their own, using the supplies she has in the classroom. These 5th grade boys chose to create landscapes using pastels - putting into practice what they had previously learned about creating landscape art, layering color, and planning ahead for what they wanted to draw. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
