The 1st Hot Air Balloon was launched in 1783, if you want to know who was on board...just ask Mrs. Rahn's STEM students. Hint: it was NOT the French Montgolfier brothers who built it!
After learning about the aerodynamics of hot air balloons and the forces (lift, drag, thrust & weight) with its interactions, students teamed up to build and launch their own balloons.
What a great way to enjoy a nice COLD winter day!

Mrs. Mercer's students did a drama circle today to work with idioms. They had to say their line (which included an idiom) then act out the literal meaning instead of the figurative meaning.
They had so much fun being creative and brushing up on their idiom knowledge!

In Mrs. Simmonds' class, students are using Science Stations to solidify Plate Boundary movement and the resulting landforms. This helps to reach all learning styles and make learning a concept fun!
#CPSZEBRAPRIDE

What do you use to show how tectonic plates, large slabs of rock that divide Earth's crust, move? With a candy bar!
While learning about plate tectonics and boundaries, Mrs. Boyd's classes were able to use a Milky Way candy bar to show each type of boundary and what occurs there! Does it form earthquakes? Volcanoes?
#CPSZEBRAPRIDE
What is a tectonic plate boundary? A tectonic plate boundary is the border between two plates. Students were learning about tectonic plate boundaries and what happens at each by demonstrating them with Oreos.
Yes, they got to eat them once they completed the assignment!

All athletic competitions for tonight (1/24/23) have been cancelled.

Have you ever heard someone say, "love is a battlefield" or "he has a heart of stone"? These are examples of figurative language. Students in Mrs. Mercer's class have been working through 9 different stations to refresh what they know about Figurative Language. They’ve reviewed definitions, looked at examples of each type of figurative language, and done some fun activities to practice writing and identifying figurative language in literature.
