It’s National Library Month and CPS wants you to get to know the names and faces of those who work with our students every day in our school libraries. A librarian or a more modern name is Library Media Specialist seems to have a book recommendation for everyone. With 20,000 titles in a library, there is always something for everyone. This week we will find out some of our CPS Library Media Specialist’s favorites. Claremont - Ashley Troyer 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻/𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀? My favorite book to read to MY children is John Ronald’s Dragons or Finding Winnie. My favorite book to read to my students is The Day You Begin by Jacqueline Woodson. The Day You Begin is a beautiful story of self-love and acceptance. I cannot read it without tearing up. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗹𝗹-𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸? My all time favorite book...this is a hard one. My favorite book tends to change depending on the stage of life I’m in. The book I’ve read the most: Brave New World by Alduous Huxley. My favorite genre is Historical Fiction and I specifically love to read books about WWII. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴? I am currently reading The Things We Cannot Say by Kelley Rimmer. It is a...you guessed it...Historical Fiction novel set during WWII. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Reading aloud to students targets students who learn audially, and research shows that students who are read aloud to are more motivated to read. Claremont 2nd grade students in Mrs. Johnston's class listen to a read aloud. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

On this #CPSTechTipTuesday, I will demonstrate how you can use Google Sheets to randomize a class list to call on students or create random groups within the classroom. We will discuss how to create the list, randomize it, and give individuals a link to download a copy of a pre-created sheet to randomize the students in their classes. https://youtu.be/QMoSOTOH7tg

📚 THANK YOUR LIBRARIAN TODAY 📚 “A library is a good place to go when you feel unhappy, for there, in a book, you may find encouragement and comfort. A library is a good place to go when you feel bewildered or undecided, for there, in a book, you may have your question answered. Books are good company, in sad times and happy times, for books are people - people who have managed to stay alive by hiding between the covers of a book." [Letters of Note; Troy (MI, USA) Public Library, 1971]” ― E.B. White It's National Library Workers Day and we can't think of any better way to celebrate than to visit your school librarian and check out a book. I know they will have a recommendation for whatever you want to feel between the pages of a good book. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️Engaging the kinesthetic and visual learner while teaching math takes a creative approach. The 5th grade math class at Roosa got busy plotting points on a coordinate plane. Students were able to draw two numbers, an X coordinate and a Y coordinate. They started at the origin (0,0) and then plotted themselves by physically moving to the point on the grid on the floor. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

📢📢 BREAKING NEWS 📢📢 WRJH was just presented with their GE MODEL SCHOOL status!!! This prestigious award gives creditability to quality teachers, quality instruction, quality classroom management and more.

The staff attends training sessions where they are immersed in the research-based 17 Classroom Practices to be an effective teacher. Each of the 17 practices is examined through the lens of developing a Culture of Respect and promoting Academic Excellence. Classroom management is anchored in the GE 8 Expectations. The 36 Life Principles promote students of character. GE Methodology provides a blue print to be an exemplary educator.
