Bridge Expands Again!
8-Unit Modular Annex
coming in Spring!
The Bridge Family will see some construction starting in March of this school year. CPS is adding
an 8-unit modular annex to Bridge this Spring. Construction will begin in Spring with construction
scheduled to finish before the start of the 2015-2016 school year. The much needed expansion will
allow our school to expand the existing Pre-School for All program. No more PK waiting list! The
construction project also includes the construction of a new larger lunchroom in the main building
facility. Great things are happening at Bridge.
• Tons of other great stuff!

Dear Parents and Families:
Please do not drive onto the Bridge
Elementary School (3800 N. New England)
playground/parking lot to drop-off or pick-up
students. Smaller children are hard to see and
the car traffic has created a dangerous situation
for our children.
Thank you for your cooperation!

Congratulations To Our 5th-8th Scholars!
In February, we had so much learning all about Hibernation, Dental Health, and
Dinosaur themes.
For Hibernation, we learned that animals do many different amazing things to get
through the winter. Some of them "migrate" by traveling to other places where the
weather is warmer, but many remained where they are and hibernate. We learned that
hibernation is an adaptation that helps many animals conserve energy by remaining
inactive, greatly slowing their metabolism and reducing their body temperature. Hibernation is a special, very deep sleep. Hibernating creatures will generally eat a lot of
food before hibernation and then survive off the energy stored in their fat. For a homeschool connection, our children and families created a hibernation culminating project
about animal(s) of their choice, such as: bears, snakes, turtles, raccoon, hedgehogs, rabbits, and many more. Come see our amazing displays.
For Dental Heath, we read and discussed the importance of taking good care of our
teeth by brushing/flossing twice a day and visiting the dentist twice a year. We also
created food sorting activities to help us learn about different kinds of food and drinks
that are good or bad for our teeth.
For Dinosaurs, we became paleontologists. We studied dinosaurs and their fossils. We
observed the differences in the characteristics of the meat-eating dinosaurs (carnivoresT-Rex), the plant-eating dinosaurs(herbivores- Bronchiosaurus) and the plant/meateating dinosaurs (omnivores-Gillimimus). We observed pictures of different types of
teeth. We asked questions: If a dinosaur was an herbivore and ate plants only, what
kind of teeth did it have? Did it have claws? Did it have a large mouth or a small
mouth? What if the dinosaur was a carnivore and ate meat only? What kind of teeth
would it have? Would it have claws? We determined the diet of a dinosaur by the shape
of its teeth. We also learned how they lived and about their extinction.
Only 4 left! Come learn together!

Love is...
Our Kindergarten students have
spent the beginning of February
participating in many activities
centered around Valentine’s
Day. We have done many activities to show our love, caring and
friendships with those around
us. The students have written
journals about who their Valentine’s are, what Love is to them
and who they’d give Valentine’s
to. They also worked
hard on making a special Valentine for their
families to show how
much they love them.
We also enjoyed making
Valentine’s bags in
school and sharing our
Valentine cards and
goodies with one another.
Skills to Practice at
Home:
 Sounding out CVC
words.
 Using pictures to
help read words.
 Reading sight word
cards sent home .
 Practicing guided
reading books.
 Retelling stories
with beginning, middle and end.
 Writing using inventive spelling.
 Identifying numbers
from 0-1-00.
100th Day of School
On Wednesday, February 18 we
celebrated the 100th day of
school. The students loved exploring the number 100 by sorting a collection of items into
groups of 10 and counting to
100. They also painted groups of
10 dots as they counted to 100.
We made 100 day crowns and
read so many books about 100
days of school. One of the
most fun activities was writing about what you would do
if you had $100.
First Grade News
Let’s Go Shopping!
The first graders have been learning how to add two-digit
numbers. To strengthen this skill, we transformed parts of our
classrooms into a grocery store with the help of the students
bringing in empty food boxes and containers. The food items
were priced, and then the young shoppers got to go
“shopping” to select grocery store items and add up their total
cost. The children wrote up receipts and added the items together using dimes and pennies. They had a wonderful time
shopping and learning how to add two-digit numbers.
Hooray! It’s 100th Day!
We’ve been in school 100 days! On
February 18th, the first graders celebrated the 100th day of school. The
day’s activities centered around the
number 100. We practiced counting
and sorting objects to 100 in many
different ways (1s, 2s, 5s, 10s). We
wrote the numbers 1 to 100. We
made collections of 100 items. We
read books and poems about the
number 100. We even created selfportraits of ourselves and wrote
about how we will look when we
are 100 years old. The children really enjoyed all the 100th day festivities.
Valentine’s Day
The first graders celebrated Valentine’s Day by participating in fun activities. The students created various
art projects to celebrate friendship
and love, and read stories centered
around the holiday. With the help of
their families, the first graders constructed mailboxes, which were decorated around the Valentine’s Day
theme. The mailboxes came in handy
when we passed out our valentines
and prizes.
SECOND GRADE NEWS
MENDING BROKEN HEARTS
For Valentine’s Day the second grade
did an activity called Mending Broken
Hearts. For the activity they worked in
groups of four. Each group had a stack
of four colored hearts. They made three
cuts in the stack to make four pieces.
Then they worked together as a group to
“mend” the broken hearts by making
sure that each member of the group had
one of each color and one of each shape.
They had a good time working with
each other.
FUN WITH BASE TEN BLOCKS
The second grade classes have been learning numbers that go
into the thousands. To help support their learning, the students
used base ten blocks to represent numbers to the thousands.
FABULOUS FEBRUARY!
Second graders began their animal adventure learning all about
animal classifications, which included many interesting facts
about reptiles, mammals, insects, fish, amphibians, and birds.
We concluded our unit by creating an animal classification booklet, as well as completed a research project on an animal of our
choice. We also explored the habitats of each animal group, created “Our Habitats” mobiles, and watched educational videos on
animals and their habitats. We had a good time exploring how
fascinating and magnificent these creatures truly are. We had a
blast this month celebrating our 100th day of school, exchanging
Valentine’s Day goodies with one another, and celebrating President’s Day. We learned about famous Presidents of the United
States such as George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Let’s
just say we had a very busy and fun filled February!!
Third Grade News
I solved the ancient
Chinese Tangram!
The Tangram is a geometry puzzle created in ancient China. After exploring
the different activities we could do with
the 7 Tangram shapes, we rose to the
challenge of putting the puzzle back together, without a guide!
Room 214
Hunting for Leprechauns in Room 207!
If I caught a Leprechaun I would give all of his gold
to my family. Then, I would wish for the Power
Rangers to come to life for real. My second wish
would be to protect the world from danger.
By Jonathan Henriquez, Room 207
If I caught a Leprechaun I would wish for these
three things. I would wish for lots and lots of turnips. My second wish would be for my Daddy to get
very rich. My last wish would be for my dog, Odon,
to never get old. With all of the gold, I would buy a
big T.V. and play video games with Scooby Doo.
By Kira Jablonski, Room 207
If I caught a Leprechaun, I would wish to get an A+ on everything! On tests, worksheets and projects. I would also wish for a beach in my room. I would invite all my friends and there would be sand
all over the floor. I would also wish to be a world famous soccer player and piano player. I would
travel almost all over the world on tour for competitions.
By Gabby Aviles, Room 207
Room 114 is doing biographies on the presidents. I chose Abraham
Lincoln. Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809 in Hodgenville, KY. Abraham lived in a log cabin and loved writing and reading
books! Abraham was once a storekeeper, postmaster and surveyor.
Abraham was the tallest U.S. president at 6'4". Abe's wife's name was
Mary Todd. Abe had four children named Robert, Edward, Willie,
and Tad. Abraham was the first president to be assassinated. Abraham is famous for the Gettysburg Address and abolishing slavery. He
was the president during the Civil War and kept the union together.
President Lincoln was shot in the head on April 15, 1865 by John
Wilkes Booth at the Ford Theatre in Washington, D.C
4th Grade Math
Our focus this month is on order of operations, division, more elapsed time problems,
exponents and fractions. Please, make sure that you and your child are practicing with flash
cards at home (Especially multiplication, addition, subtraction and division). A great website to
go to for FREE flashcards is aplusmath.com. All you have to do is print and cut out the flash
cards for all four operations. If you need to contact me you can e-mail me at
[email protected]. I hope you all enjoy the month of March.
A St. Patrick;s Day Poem
Saint Patrick’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day … Oh, how I love St. Patrick’s Day!
Leprechauns and Gold … Go away cold.
Parades dressed in green … We’re all Irish I dream
Spring is almost here … I’ll find the pot of gold next year.
Science
In Science, we have been looking at ecosystems. We have learned how the terms population
and community are related. We have discovered that ecosystems are made up both living
(biotic) and nonliving (abiotic) parts that interact with each other. We have explored how these
different factors influence the ecosystem as a whole. We have also discussed: How humans use
natural resources, the positive and negative ways we affect ecosystems, and how reducing
pollution, continued conservation efforts and land preservation programs all play a big role in
keeping our planet a beautiful place to live.
5th & 6th Grade News!
th
Step Into the World of Social Studies!
The 6 graders have completed their group response activity on problems and solutions of the
ancient Mesopotamians. Students worked in groups to explain their reasoning to the problems of food
shortages in the hills and trouble maintaining a complex irrigation system. They also brainstormed
plans for systems that could control an unpredictable water supply in the river plains and protect their
city-states from neighboring attacks. Once the posters were complete, the students presented their ideas and plans to their peers. Great job, 6th graders!
The 5th graders are continuing their unit on Mesoamerica and just finished learning about the
Zapotec, Mixtec, Toltec, and Inca. Did you know that the Inca had a plan in place to conquer new
lands? Their empire stretched across a vast area of South America and the emperor would offer a new
tribes the option to join peacefully before implementing any attacks or force. These Mesoamerican
groups were also skilled in metal craft, or metallurgy. The work of their artisans is impressive!
5TH AND 6TH GRADE MATH CONTEST WINNERS
The 5th grade MTSS group in group 1 and 6th grade students in MTSS group 6A are participating this
year in the Illinois Council of Teachers of Mathematics (ICTM) Math Contest. This problem solving contest is

5th & 6th Grade News!
5th Grade Science - Motion and Design
The 5th graders have been learning about motion and design. It is finally time to take everything we learned and follow the
design process on our own. We are working in groups to solve a design challenge. Each group was assigned a different challenge. We
began by brainstorming our ideas about the challenge. Next, we
discussed our ideas and began creating a blueprint. The blueprint
will be used to build the car. Once the cars are done, we will test the
cars to see if they meet the design challenge requirements. If the car
does not meet the requirement, we will brainstorm ways to improve
the car, rebuild and test again.
This is the same process engineers follow when designing a new product. It has been a lot of fun!!!
By: Melissa Krajewski and Ella Camaci
5th/6th Grade Science Club
The Science Club has taken what we have been doing in
class one step further. We used our knowledge of motion and design
to build a car that goes the fastest. We were able to design the car
our way. We were able to be as creative as we want. It is fun to
complete the design process, but it is hard work. Only two of the car
really went anywhere.
6th Grade Science - Plate Tectonics
This was a great month for science! We returned to our current problem in Unit D:Plate Tectonics, where should we store nuclear waste? We learned about the theory of continental drift to help
solve that. The theory of continental drift is how all the continents
were once together creating a "supercontinent" called
"Pangea". What happened was the plates split apart and formed
our 7 continents that we have today.
We also learned about plate tectonics, where plates spread
apart,(called divergent plate boundary) slide together, (called transform plate boundary) and collide (called convergent plate boundary). On these plates a variety of things can happen. Volcanoes can
form, earthquakes can occur, and sometimes even mountains can
form!
We took this all in consideration when considering where we
want to store our nuclear waste, as we had looked at several various
maps (earthquake, volcano, population, etc.). We are currently deciding where we can store nuclear waste so it can be stored safely for
millions of years without causing harm to people, animals and the
environment.

Fifth Grade Reading
We have been working on cultural heritage and identity with Old Man by Ricardo Sanchez , The
circuit by Francisco Jimenez, and Kim from seedfolks by Paul Fleischman. They all relate to the book/story
called The circuit. We also have been comparing all the texts. The tone of the poem Old Man was sad but
appreciative because in the text it stated “old man grandfather wise with time running rivulets on face,
deep, rich furrows each one a legacy, deep, rich memories of life…” . The poem taught the grandson about
his culture and appreciation to his culture. We also read poems such as Puzzlement by Gwendolyn Brooks
and Fifth Grade Autobiography by Rita Dove (ext…). When we read the poems we analyze what the
“author does” with using literary elements and figurative language. We also analyze what the “author
says” which is what the poem means.

Sixth Grade Reading
In reading, the 6th graders have been learning about tone, central idea, and analyzing text. The
6th graders have used historical text such as “Frederick Douglas: Forever Free”, “Narrative of the Life of
Frederick Douglas”, and the poem “Invictus”. Also, we have read speeches from Stephen Douglas and
Abraham Lincoln. For the first reading, we looked up meanings of unknown words. Then, we thought
about the author’s purpose and central idea with key details. By analyzing the text we found the tone
and looked at the text structure. The sixth knows this kind of analyzing will help us with the upcoming
PARCC test.
We personally really liked the Narrative Life of Frederick Douglas excerpts. He was a slave who
lived in the northern part of the United States. Douglas was taught how to read, but, then his master forbade his wife from letting Douglas learn more reading. So, he was determined to learn more and continued practicing reading and writing. Once he got his hands on a book, he read it over and over again with
interest every time. He also said, “learning to read had come to torment and sting my soul to unutterable
anguish” and “led [him] to abhor and detest my enslavers”. Even though, learning to read hurt him,
Douglas also said, “from that moment on I understood the pathway from slavery to freedom”. This shows
that even though this was a hard situation, Frederick Douglas and his unconquerable spirit and willpower
led him to read, write, and obtain freedom. It is very inspiring to sixth graders. Sixth graders with determination and willpower can reach their goals just like Frederick Douglas showed.

Here We Come Shakespeare!!
The seventh and eighth grade classrooms have
been working on the play “Macbeth” by Shakespeare. Mrs. Newport and Ms. Balice, the seventh
and eighth grade Language Arts teachers, have
been working hard to allow us to have a good experience with the play. We even got to go and see
the play in action, done professionally at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater! It was an amazing experience for all of us. Seeing the play done professionally and doing it in our classrooms was an
experience everyone should have. The way the
actors made the scenery spooky made the mood
dark and creepy. It was a great day for all of us.
The seventh graders now have something to look
forward to next year.
Your writers,

A Producer’s Source of Energy
In 7th grade science we have been studying how food webs
work. We now know that plants produce the food that fuels the
rest of life on Earth. But how do producers produce food? Students collected evidence for photosynthesis by examining the
aquatic plant, Elodea. Then we designed an investigation to prove
that sunlight was the driving force of photosynthesis.
Students used Bromthymol Blue (BTB) an indicator for
carbon dioxide and oxygen. Students proved that oxygen is produced by plants in the light. Students were amazed that plants
produce small amounts of carbon dioxide in the dark!
What a great activity!!!
Science Club!
7th and 8th grade students have been staying after school every other Wednesday for
Science Club! Mrs. Iammartino plans great experiments and challenges! So far students have….

Designed packaging - we used packing materials to design a package that will
protect an egg from a two story drop!
 learned about heat transfer - Mrs. Iammartino had these great drinking birds….we
figured out how they work!
 Designed catapults - we used popsicle sticks to construct catapults that would
launch ping pong balls. Then we changed parts of the catapult (the arm, the
amount of rubber bands) to see if that changed the distance of the ping pong ball.
 Learned about pH! Did you know that you can test if a liquid is an acid or base by
using red cabbage juice! Now you know!!!
We can’t wait to see what happens
Jr. High Music News by Mrs. Sands
Now that projects are over, students are focusing on
Music Appreciation. They are learning about one artist/
group per week.
So far students have learned about Elvis Presley (the
King of Rock and Roll) and Michael Jackson (the King
of Pop). Future lessons include: Stevie Wonder, Ray
Charles, Pentatonix, the Beatles, Whitney Houston,
Idina Menzel, etc.
For these lessons, students are able to hear about how
the performer got their start in music, the performer’s
popular songs (and some not so popular ones), and any
awards or achievements the performer may have won.
This is a great way to introduce students to music they
may never have heard before, or to reintroduce them to
old favorites.
Update…
The Bridge Singers would like to thank all of those who supported the group and bought a
Singing Valentine. A total of 54 Valentines went out between Wednesday, February 11 and Friday, February 13. Thank you again!

Auditions for this year’s Talent Show will take place the
week of April 13—17. Specific days and time: TBD.
This year’s Talent Show is going to be a little bit different
than how it has been in the past. This year, we are going to
treat the show like American Idol or America’s Got Talent.
There will be three judges who will comment on each of the
performances and there will be prizes given out at the end of
the show.
Everyone is welcome to audition for the Talent Show. Please
be courteous and limit your auditions to one per person. If
you wish to be part of a bigger act as well as a solo act,
please choose one or the other.

Jr. High Library News by Mrs. Burr
In March we are working on learning how to utilize all the different materials available in the library. Students
are finding out more about fiction and its different genres, as well as non-fiction and the Dewey Decimal Classification System. Hopefully, when all is said and done, the students will know how the library is organized and
how to best utilize the materials that are at their disposal. This should help them with research projects as well as
reading for personal enjoyment.
Speaking of reading for personal enjoyment…
Book Club News by Mrs. Burr
With 135 students involved in a Book Club, chances are you know someone who is participating. We now have

Bridge Elementary Theatre Arts
Theatrical Units of Study in K-4th
The Kindergarten classes have been working hard to create scenery
for the much-loved folktale, The Three Billy Goats’ Gruff. They have
nearly finished painting a backdrop and will use stage furniture to
complete the setting. They are almost ready to perform with the
elements of theatre they have created! The first grade continue to use
what they know about character development as they apply their skills
to bringing inanimate objects to life. Second grade will finish their unit
on sound with a scripted ten-minute play, adding sound effects where
necessary and Third grade has begun to develop character voices as a
part of sound in theatre. To help them think about creating voices for
characters they have been using puppets to rewrite the endings to
familiar stories. Fourth grade students continue to develop strong,
believable characters with definite feelings, drawing inspiration from
E.B. White’s Charlotte’s Web.

Ukulele Club
Ukulele club began on Friday, February 13, 2015. We are learning songs, chords, and music theory. The best part is watching these
young musicians grow week by week. We are focusing on fundamentals like holding position and playing position. Fundamentals
with any instrument are most important when beginning a musical journey.
Guitar Club
Guitar club is building a repertoire of songs. Right now we are learning Come Together by the Beatles, Seven Nation Army by the
White Stripes, and Shake it Off by Taylor Swift.
I interviewed a couple of our guitarists:
Ian Espinoza told me that his favorite band is Metallica, and his favorite song to play in Guitar Club is Seven Nation Army. His favorite thing about coming to Guitar Club is learning new techniques.
Joanna Zurawski told me her favorite singer is Iggy Azalea, and her favorite song to play in Guitar Club is Seven Nation Army. Her
favorite thing about Guitar Club is learning new songs.

Athletes of the
Month!
The 7th/8th boys are coming off
one of the most impressive seasons we have seen here at
Bridge. Not only was the team
filled with great shooters, they
had the size and height to put
together a winning season. They
finished the season with a 6-2
record and made it the furthest
in the playoffs out of all the
teams! This team showed us
each and every game how much
they love the sport and love the
competition of basketball.
From left to right we have Daniel Kania, Ryan Szajna, Liam White, Anthony Guy, Christian Melecio,
Alex Jamroz, Angel Cadena, Jason Harenberg, Billy Kanasky and Matthew Babula.
Boys 5th/6th grade basketball did a fantastic job this season. Even with an entire team of 5th grade students, the boys
held their own against older 6th grade
students. Although wins were hard to
come by this season, the boys demonstrated incredible work ethic, grit, and
determination. Outnumbered and outsized at every game the boys never gave
up and always continued to battle. With
their hard-nosed attitudes and determination the boys are poised to make a run
in the playoffs as 6th graders.
From left to right we have Marcel Wiecek, Michael Dylag, Kevin
Hawkins, Emanuel Crespo, Sergio Rivera, Isiah Soto and Adrian Cor-
Our 7th/8th grade girls also had a history
making season here at Bridge. They were
a part of the first ever girls basketball team
to make it to basketball playoffs! They
finished the season with a 6-2 record with
each and every game coming down to the
last seconds of play. Each time they went
out on the court they displayed a great
amount of heart and sportsmanship which
is exactly what we ask for here at Bridge.
From left to right we have Carmela Pesole, Pamela Sandoval, Jackie Rodriguez, Katie Tarasiewicz, Heidy
Araujo, Katrina Carmichael, Brittney Marin, Sage Reyes, Juliette Drewniak, Jocelyn Roman, and Kate Solis.
The 5th/6th Girls Basketball team had
one of the greatest seasons In Bridge
Bulldog history. They completed the
season with an 8-0 perfect record! This
was the first time that a girls basketball
team at Bridge has ever completed the
season without defeat. They made another piece of Bridge history by being
the first girls basketball team to ever
make it to basketball playoffs! We
couldn’t be more proud of girls and are
excited to continue our winning ways
here at Bridge.
From left to right we have Maria Tantcheva, Natalia Obrochta, Katherine Zurawski, Jeilyn Sosa, Cassidy
Medina, Melissa Krajewski, Raquel Marrero, Miya Badillo, Aaliyah Schein, Victoria Bobro, Claudia

and use their computational thinking skills to create
programs. Each lesson is a building block towards acquiring computer programming skills and increasing
their knowledge of the necessary 21st century skills required to be successful in today’s world.
Black History Month Twitter Pages
In honor of Black History
Month, our third and fourth
grade students have taken
the challenge to create a
Twitter page for a famous
African American of their
choice. Their task is to write four “tweets” related to their person’s accomplishments and
important life changing events. These pages
also include pictures, list of people that are important to follow, and creatively named hash
tags. Look for these awesome Twitter pages to
come home shortly.
Our Groundhog Books
Our first and second grade students completed internet research about the groundhog
and Groundhog Day. Then they
created an online digital book
that they wrote and designed
with pictures at tikatok.com. A parent letter
was sent home with all students including instructions on how to access each child’s book.
Your child can continue to create and write
books as they have access to tikatok.com for
the continued school year. Happy Reading and
Writing!
