1st graders have been working hard on their Sight Words. There are eleven different Sight Word lists with 20 words on each list. Students practice their Sight Words during Independent Reading Time and have a chance to move to the next level. Students also practice their Sight Words at home in the evening. Way to go 1st grade! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
Mrs. Youngs, 3rd grade teacher. #ROOSASTAFFSPOTLIGHT - I went to college at OSU. This is my first year at Roosa Elementary. I previously taught at Westside for 12 years. I also taught at Union Public Schools for two years. I have been married for 34 years and we have two children. My daughter Ashley and her husband Peter live in Oklahoma City and they are both RNs. They have one child which is our first grandchild, Owen who will be two in October. My daughter Nicole is engaged to Jeremy and they live in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. Nicole is a Physical Therapist and Jeremy is an Assistant Principal at a Jr. HIgh School. My husband and I have one dog named Gibson! We love spending time outdoors hiking, camping and swimming. Mary Marshall was an inspiration in my life, when I was an assistant she encouraged me to get my teaching certification. I love teaching because I love the relationships that I form with the children. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
