Today Roosa Kindergarten celebrated Groundhog Day! We learned that Punxsutawney Phil DID see his shadow and we will have six more weeks of winter! They listened to a funny story called "Ten Grouchy Groundhogs" and colored a picture of Punxsutawney Phil! Then worked on a sentence that said "Will he see his shadow?" We wish Phil would have NOT seen his shadow but had fun learning about him anyway :-) #GROUNDHOGDAY #PUNXSUTAWNEYPHIL #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Mrs. Page received an ipad grant and had this to say: "I adore the IPad grant I received and the blessing it has been this year especially! My First Graders at Roosa Elementary use them daily and this slide show is only a small piece of what their iPads mean to my students. These iPads have allowed them to escape the captivity of COVID and let their minds explore new places through virtual field trips. Students respond to technology in the classroom with ease and enjoyment. These iPads have provided an enhancement of learning in my classroom this year. Thank you CPSF for making this dream come true!" Here is a link to a video she made: https://youtu.be/IPj84mWzmvM #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Roosa Kindergarten students had a "blast" today studying about our schools namesake Stuart A. Roosa, Apollo 14 command module pilot, and his travels into space! We had a lot of fun putting planets in order, labeling space objects, rolling and graphing with space dice, writing the room looking for space pictures and putting together puzzles about planets and a 5 foot rocket ship! We might have some future astronauts right in our own school :-) #STUARTROOSADAY #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
