Westside Elementary

This Friday Funny comes out of Ms. Johnson's 2nd-grade classroom. The whole class was having a down day. Ms. Johnson decided to play some blues music and allow them to express themselves! Some of their responses are priceless! "I don't like that it's not the weekend" "I hate meatballs" "I don't like how cupcakes are so sweet" "I don't like how pencils are so sharp" "I hate that stores are not selling sausage corndogs" Ms. Johnson herself had some blues because Starbucks is out of their ham and cheese croissants! Thank you for allowing them to express themselves, making it a teaching moment, and sharing with us! ❤ #CPSZEBRASTRIPES

Westside was lucky enough to have a visit from an Astronaut! In honor of Roosa's space day, this special visitor came by to wow our students during dismissal. To say the students loved it would be an understatement! Thank you to all that made this happen! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

It is Hero Wednesday again! To try out something new, we are going to tell you the story behind how these heroes made it on the wall! One student cleaned the floor by the bathroom without being asked. Another student used honesty to help solve a problem. For our last spotlight, the student displayed honesty and integrity by returning money they found to its rightful owner! Great job, friends! "All of us start from zero. We take the right decision and become a hero."-Govinda #CPSZEBRAPRIDE #HEROWALLWEDNESDAY

This Friday Funny comes from the office! A student came in to see the nurse after having a little accident. When he made it to the office the nurse asked him "Did that tree jump out and get you?" The student replied sadly " No!! It just stood still and got me!" He got some ice, love, and made the best of the rest of his day! ❤ #CPSZEBRAPRIDE #FRIDAYFUNNIES

Mrs. McClurg's friends are incredibly proud of their morning work! Morning work provides students with standards-based activities for them to practice their skills. It allows them to practice their academic skills in either math, literacy, or both, while they sharpen their fine motor skills by holding a pencil, coloring inside the lines, or tracing. Great work, Mrs. McClurg's class! 🎉 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

IMPORTANT REMINDER: Picture Day is tomorrow! (September 16th) Practice your smiles and pick out your best outfit! We know these pictures will be fabulous! ❤ #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
