Mr. Borntreger's math class is digging deep into real-life data analysis! Students explored the relationship between sleep and screen time by creating scatter plots to investigate if there's a correlation between hours of sleep and time spent on phones. Their preliminary findings suggest that more data is needed to determine a definite connection. Good job to our young mathematicians for applying their problem-solving skills to real-world situations! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Mr. Etienne's science classes are diving deep into the world of oceanography! 🌊🔬 They are exploring the world of ocean currents - the invisible highways that transport water, nutrients, and sea life around the globe.

Over the last few weeks, 7th graders have been working on identifying prepositions and prepositional phrases. A good way to remember what a preposition is - anything a paper airplane can do when being thrown such as fly THROUGH the sky or bounce off OF a wall. The students further solidified their learning by making and throwing paper airplanes before writing their own sentences about their planes using prepositional phrases. Who doesn't like making and flying airplanes?✈ #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
