Will Rogers Junior High

Why is learning about the thirteen colonies important? Because it created this great United States of America! And is an important part of our history. Mrs. Hammack's 8th grade class built their own colony while learning about the 13 colonies. They learned how school was different, how the houses were built, how important church was, and many other important issues of the 1700s. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Want to make taking notes more interesting? Try walking notes!🚶🏼‍♀️ Students in Coach Knoke's History class walked to stations where they read about their lesson and took notes on what they learned. What a great way to keep the focus! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Science classes are studying heat transfer. In WIN class, we made solar bags to show heat transfer, energy transformation and convection. And next up are SOLAR OVENS! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

When the weather is perfect and you learn more from getting a little fresh air and exercise, you take your class outside! Mrs. Hulse's class had an outside learning day to enjoy the weather and get rewarded for all the hard work they are doing this year!

One last shout out to our amazing school lunch workers! We appreciate all they do - from cooking delicious food to helping students with their accounts, they are a great group and we are very lucky! Happy National School Lunch Week! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

How do you make math questions fun? By "hunting" the answers! 7th graders in Mrs. Higgins' math classes did a scavenger hunt for fractions and decimals! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

How do you compare and contrast forms of energy? In Mrs. Worley's science class, students learned how to compare energy by looking at different objects. There are the two basic forms of energy- kinetic and potential. Kinetic is the energy of moving objects and potential is energy that is stored. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Mrs. Mercer's students created Genre posters to review the different types of Genres. After creating the posters, each student presented their information to the class. They practiced making eye contact, speaking clearly, and using complete sentences as they presented their posters. Learning how to speak in public is a great skill that will be used throughout their school years and adult life! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

How do you get students excited to make graphs? 📈 You wave at cars! 🚗 Mrs. Tietz's classes made a hypothesis as to which hour would get the most car honks. Then, they went outside each hour, waved at cars to get them to honk, then graphed the results! I wonder what hour had the most honks? #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
