A few weeks ago 1st grade asked the question, will Pumpkin Jack sink or float? They discussed the hypothesis and created an experiment to prove it to be true or false. Update on “Pumpkin Jack” - 1st grade learned about the greenhouse effect as Pumpkin Jack is decomposing quicker than normal because of the trap tip and moisture inside. We are not seeing the growth of mold. Students use a magnifying glass for a closer look. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Mrs. Mann's class wrapped up our owl unit by dissecting owl pellets! The students had a lot of fun learning about the different types of owls, their habitats, eating habits, and migration.

Who, Who would of thought Owl Pellets were so interesting? #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
