Thank you for your visit on this very important subject! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Our review was over the plot diagram (characters, setting, problem, solution, resolution) , theme, point of view, genre, and character conflict. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

What would you do differently if you could go back and retrace Lewis and Clark's journey? Students in Coach Dexter's History classes played a computer game version of Lewis and Clark's trail.

How much should I tip? Students in 7th grade Math classes are learning some great life lessons about how to order, tip, and total a restaurant tab while working on their percent unit. One of our essential standards is to be able to accurately add or subtract tax, tip, and discounts. We practiced this by using real menus and the teachers as waitresses. Students were able to create their own order. Then they were responsible to add tax and tip using percent! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Is Mrs. Williams class playing GO FISH? Last week Mrs. Williams' class learned about the opening of the biggest aquarium in the world. The aquarium is in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The aquarium has a huge tank that holds almost 7 million gallons of water. The class conducted an experiment exploring the surface tension of water using dish soap, orange juice and plain water. They learned that dish soap can lower the surface tension of water and changed how their "fish" moved in water. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
