On this #wellnesswednesday, we want to stress the importance of reading together as a family. Even if your child is old enough to read on their own, it is still important for them to be read aloud to. Reading books aloud to children stimulates their imagination and expands their understanding of the world. It helps them develop language and listening skills and prepares them to understand the written word. What are you reading together as a family? Tell us in the comments. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

1st graders are growing so much in their writing abilities! Did you know that journal writing gives students time to organize their thoughts to prepare appropriate responses? This gives students extra confidence in participating in all areas of the classroom. Journaling also helps teachers learn more about their students! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
