Today's #WellnessWednesday reminds us our WORDS HAVE POWER - 50 WAYS TO EMPOWER OUR CHILDREN
As adults, how we speak to our children is so important. Showing your child you believe in them through encouraging words is something that will empower them in ways unimaginable as they grow up — and those feelings of support and reassurance will stick with them well into adulthood. Validating who they are and reassuring them that they're enough, they're important, and they can do whatever they put their mind to is a powerful message for all of our CPS students.
Read through this list of empowering phrases you can say to your child daily to help them feel confident and encourage their sense of self.
1. Your dreams are important.
2. You can do anything you set your mind to.
3. You are enough.
4. You make me proud.
5. It's OK to feel scared.
6. You can't always change the things you can't control.
7. Your attitude can change any situation.
8. It's OK to make mistakes.

19. You deserve to be happy.
20. You have unique ideas.
21. You don't have to be perfect to be great.

We've got another winter weather challenge for our Zebra families. Let's make some Ice Marbles.
Put a few drops of food coloring or Kool-aid powder into a balloon then fill with water. Place outside and let it freeze. Depending on how big the balloons are and how cold it is, this will take about 24 hours. Hold them up to the light to see if they are frozen all the way through.
Join Finley, Alayna & Brecken from Westside and submit your photos in the comments of the CPS FB page.

Reese had watched a YouTube tutorial about how to make calming bubble bottles. She told her teacher about it, and Mrs. Casey let her do a demonstration to her classmates. What a great example of maximizing a teachable moment! Reese may not realize the public speaking skills she was developing, the confidence she was building, but she will always remember her teacher valued her and encouraged her interests that day.

Distance Learning Day! Barrett set up a study station at home to help him stay focused on his work.
His teacher, Mrs. Karin Howell at Claremont Elementary, assigned students to use their library books to take part in an interactive recorded video book scavenger hunt reinforcing their language arts focus.
