4th grade is having a novel study over Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis. This book from the eyes of a ten year old orphan, African-American boy during the 1930's Great Depression. The story tells how he struggles through life to survive and the search to find his father.
For their final project students had to create their own Hoovervilles, using different items of their choice. Several students took advantage of being stuck at home during the snow and ice storm to create their vision of a "Hooverville"

#ROOSASTAFFSPOTLIGHT Mrs. Hendrickson I've been been at Roosa for 9 years.

My husband and I have a 7th and a 10th grader, and as a Claremore graduate myself, I'm even happier to be raising Zebras! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Meanwhile in Mrs. Devers 2nd grade class, after reviewing the week's assignments the class joined in a meeting and did a "Book Show and Tell." The students showed off a favorite book from their home and told the reason why it was their favorite. They discussed different types of books, book series and reading books in in digital form.

We've got another winter weather challenge for our Zebra families. Let's make some Ice Marbles.
Put a few drops of food coloring or Kool-aid powder into a balloon then fill with water. Place outside and let it freeze. Depending on how big the balloons are and how cold it is, this will take about 24 hours. Hold them up to the light to see if they are frozen all the way through.
Join Finley, Alayna & Brecken from Westside and submit your photos in the comments of the CPS FB page.

Mrs. Brasher's 3rd Grade class meet today to learn about idioms.
The class can now say that "Having Cold Feet" during this winter weather will not "Stir Up A Hornet's Nest" in their learning about idioms. Because idioms are a "Piece of Cake" #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
