Weather looks good for tomorrow, so we will have Running Club after school!

Ms. Henry's 3rd grade class has been working on a really cool project!! “Balloons Over Broadway in Array City” - Students last week made Array buildings (how many rows/columns = the multiplication problem on the back). We then read “Balloons Over Broadway” by Melissa Sweet which is about the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and students designed their own parade “balloon”. I think they did a fantastic job!! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

1st graders made Thankful Bracelets last week. They got to write down what they are thankful for and decide what color they wanted each thing they are thankful for!! If you see them around ask them what their bracelet represents! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

This is one of my favorite assignments!! Our Pre-K and Kindergarten classes disguised their Turkeys so they won't get eaten on Thanksgiving! I love the creativity. Happy Thanksgiving, from your friends at Catalayah!! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
