First grade students love using whisper phones. This is a great activity for growing readers. Students speak into their whisper phones, allowing these auditory readers to hear themselves quietly reading.

Check out this cool opportunity to support our Westies!
Westside's GT classes purchased a button maker with funding from a donation made by CF Industries. Students worked out a business plan to make and sell buttons to classmates. Principal Hinds approved their plan, and the group promised to gift her the first button.
Button sales will begin in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades next week on February 1st. Each button will cost $1.00
Plans for offering button sales to younger Westside students are in the works. Proceeds will be used to purchase replacement supplies, fund GT projects, and donate to Westside activities.

This incredible 3rd grade class started the new year by learning about and setting New Year's resolutions. Westside students and staff continuously strive to be their best and do better each day. It is inspiring to see the goals that each child selected and the kind responses from their teacher.

Every couple of weeks Mrs. Ratcliff draws a class to receive a prize to celebrate fun and often unknown national holidays. Today, Mrs. Campbell and her friends celebrated National Gourmet Coffee Day with some tasty treats. These students loved trying coffee cakes and coffee candies. They especially loved how everything smelled. These seemingly simple moments bring a lot of joy to our Westies!

Today, we celebrate the extraordinary life of activist and humanitarian Dr. King, who helped to teach us about courage, equality, truth, justice, compassion, and humility.
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."
- Martin Luther King Jr.
#CPSZEBRAPRIDE
This sweet second grade class utilized their Scholastic News magazines to learn about the impactful life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. They later used the information from the source to organize a timeline about his life.
#CPSZEBRAPRIDE
In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Mrs. Gaylord's music class has been learning about his life and what he stood for. They discussed what dreams we have and how to make them a reality. They also took key words and found their rhythms, followed by making their own compositions with those words. This is a wonderful, creative way to honor the memory of Dr. King and develop musical knowledge.
#CPSZEBRAPRIDE
Part of the reason Westside students and staff thrive is due to the culture that has been established throughout the building. One of our Great Expectations states, "We will recognize every effort and applaud it." This isn't just expected from the students, but modeled from everyone in the building. Staff regularly post shout-outs to show appreciation for the effort and dedication that is continuously shown. It's a great day to be a Zebra!

Everyone absolutely loves this year's shirt designed by our wonderful Westie, Pachia. Yonger sister, Mayla, proudly wears her sister's winning design alongside her big sister. These young ladies have such a beautiful bond and set a great example to other Westsiders by supporting one another.
