Mrs. Cole’s dinosaur unit has come to and end, but not without an exciting finale! They erupted their volcano and discussed the possibility that this may have been the cause for dinosaur extinction. 🌋🦖🦕 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Some more photos from Circle The State with Song in Owasso!! 🎶 These students prepared for months, and when they showed up, they rehearsed all day and performed for a BIG crowd! We are so proud of these Zebras ♥️🦓 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

WRJH might have some future engineers on their hands!! Students in Mrs Rahn’s STEM class learned about the engineering principles involved with bridge design & building.🛠 In teams, students designed bridges, created blueprints then built their bridge out of 1/8” balsa wood! Each bridge was tested to see how much weight it could hold. Each test was conducted in front of a green screen so students could then super impose their own desired background into the video. How cool is that?! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Snowball fight! ❄️Mrs. Campbell's class had a sight word snowball fight. Each paper snowball had a sight word on it and students would throw and gather paper snowballs to practice reading their words. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

4th graders went on a text structure scavenger hunt in their English Language Arts classes. Cards were all over the classroom and students read the card and determined if the card described a cause & effect, sequence or compare & contrast. The 4th graders used their problem-solving skills to get the task done! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Select students from the Westside Honor Choir recently attended Circle the State with Song in Owasso. They began their day rehearsing with almost 250 students ranging from grades 4th-8th.

We are so proud of our talented students and for the support and direction of Mrs. Gaylord! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

"When you're in a growth mindset, what that means is that you choose to see struggle and challenge as an opportunity for growth and for learning and development" - Chris Bertram Mrs. Sanders class nailed it at rise and shine! They performed a poem and song about growth mindset! 🌱 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Who remembers playing the recorder in elementary school? This unit is usually a favorite memory for our 4th graders. A musical recorder is a woodwind instrument with eight finger holes played like a whistle. Claremore music classes practice notes and scales on the recorders. We may have some future band members getting their start during these lessons. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Inside the boxes, the students found hidden puzzle pieces. After earning all the puzzle pieces, the classroom completed the puzzle to escape the room! 🧩 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
