☼We will value one another as unique and special individuals☼ Mrs. Mercer's students are diving deeper into the 8 Expectations for Living. Each group read a short story that was an example of an expectation. Then, they worked together as a team to create posters that shared their story summary, expectation connection, and a visual. #gemodelschool #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

I wonder what everyone's goals will be? In Mrs. Ross' Geography class students did a Cactus craft. They are starting the book "Insignificant Events in the Life of a Cactus," by Dusti Bowling. The book is about moving across the country and being in a new environment. The students are making a craft inspired by the book: a cactus with 3 goals for this school year. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

•WELCOME TO WRJH• Mr. Berglund-6th grade Geography Let's get to know Mr. Berglund► My name is David Berglund and I teach 6th grade Geography. This is my first year as a teacher of record, but it is the start of my 10th year working in education in some capacity. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, Emmett, Idaho to be exact, and enjoyed the opportunity to be outside as often as possible. I joined the U.S. Navy right out of high school in order to pay for college down the road. Down the road, I found myself enrolled at Rogers State University where I graduated in 2008 with a Bachelor’s degree in Social Behavioral Sciences with a minor in History earning Cum Laude Honors. I enjoy playing the guitar and singing my original songs, as well as spending time with my family. My wife and I have been married for 18 years and we have a beautiful 13 year old daughter, 5 huge dogs and 2 cats. My reason for teaching is because I want to make better humans for the future of our planet. And maybe teach them a little about our planet in the process! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

What is Freedom of the Press? Ask one of Mr. Dexter's students! Students are learning about the John Peter Zenger Trial that established Freedom of the Press!

Let's get to know each other... with a SNOWBALL FIGHT? In Coach Dexter's classes, he begins the school year with a game of throwing "snowballs" at each other.

Plus, there's no snowy mess to clean up! Great idea, Coach! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

REMINDER - In honor of the Labor Day holiday, CPS will be closed on Monday, September 5th. "Before the reward, there must be labor. You plant before you harvest. You sow in tears before you reap joy." Ralph Ransom Labor Day pays tribute to the contributions and achievements of American workers. It was created by the labor movement in the late 19th century and became a federal holiday in 1894. This weekend, as we spend time with our families and friends, celebrate the value of an honest day's work, the people who built America, and our nation's advancements because of the American labor force. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Our new SRO introduced himself last week to the classes. He was visiting Mrs. Simmonds class explaining what a School Resource Officer does at schools. We are so excited to have Officer Turman at WRJH! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
