Check this out! Ms. Johnsons class received an awesome donation of books, supplies, and stress balls from their classroom sponsor, Sunloan. As you can see her students are pumped and grateful! 😊 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

In Mrs. Sanders's class, they are working on number sense for the next few weeks and the importance of recognizing number words and numbers quickly in groups, with tallies, dice, ten frames, in groups of ones and tens, and even on their fingers. This is so essential for math success in later grades! Awesome job, Mrs.Sanders Class! ❤ #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

We have heard several people are having difficulties accessing the device protection plan on MySchoolBucks, so our Technology Instructional Specialist put together this #TechTipTuesday on Friday to help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuFnjoPDmZg #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Before school began, Principal Suzi Hinds challenged her staff to pick a word that would lead them throughout the year. She asked that they choose a word that meant something to them. Mrs. Hinds then asked that they take that word and use it to decorate a ceiling tile for the building! Westside staff went above and beyond! They chose words that hold power and importance. They filled our halls with reminders to the students that they are loved and to believe in themselves. Such an incredible idea and great job to you all! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
