Roosa Elementary

3rd grade read the book Balloons over Broadway by Melissa Sweet, the true story of Tony Sarg the creator of the balloons in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The students learned how a gas makes a balloon float. They went on to created and design their own floats. The students made the balloons big by using vinegar and baking soda which made a gas and inflated the balloon. Here are some pictures of the students making these gases and capturing them in the balloon. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

We know that being present is important for your child’s learning progress. What can you do to help them be at school every day? • Set a regular bedtime and morning routine. • Lay out clothes and pack backpacks the night before. • Don’t let your child stay home unless she is truly sick. Keep in mind complaints of a stomach ache or headache can be a sign of anxiety and not a reason to stay home. • If your child seems anxious about going to school, talk to teachers, school counselors, or other parents for advice on how to make her feel comfortable and excited about learning. • Develop back-up plans for getting to school if something comes up. Call on a family member, a neighbor, or another parent. • Avoid medical appointments and extended trips when school is in session. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
