📚 THANK YOUR LIBRARIAN TODAY 📚 “A library is a good place to go when you feel unhappy, for there, in a book, you may find encouragement and comfort. A library is a good place to go when you feel bewildered or undecided, for there, in a book, you may have your question answered. Books are good company, in sad times and happy times, for books are people - people who have managed to stay alive by hiding between the covers of a book." [Letters of Note; Troy (MI, USA) Public Library, 1971] ― E.B. White It's National Library Workers Day and we can't think of any better way to celebrate than to visit your school librarian and check out a book. I know they will have a recommendation for whatever you want to feel between the pages of a good book. THANK YOU!!! Catalayah - Andrea James Claremont - Ashley Troyer Roosa - Vanessa Mudd Westside - Brittany Lang WRJH - Donna Eddings CHS - Casey Moss #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

🐣 What's hatchin' over at Catalayah?! 🐥Third grade is learning all about the lifecycle of chickens!! Students used the agricultural magazines to learn/write down facts about chickens and watched it play out over the last 28 days in their classrooms! 🥚It has been a great way to get students egg-cited about life science! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

📚“Once you learn to read, you will be forever free." -Frederick Douglas Westside 5th graders participated in their first book club meeting led by their amazing librarian, Ms. Lang! They are currently reading the mystery, The Secret Starling. These students are so excited and already have a couple of predictions about what might happen next. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

🌟🔭✨ Claremore High School Astronomy Club had an incredible time at our first Star Party last night! They headed out to Will Rogers' Birthplace and were lucky enough to witness the planets align. Thanks to Andy Luginbill, husband of Mrs. Luginbill - CHS English teacher, for bringing out his telescopes and giving the members a tour of the sky. It was amazing to use the club's new telescope for the first time and see the beauty of the universe up close. 🚀🪐 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Mrs. Styers' classes at WRJH are working on an equivalent ratio card sort, where they're learning how to find ratios that have the same value by multiplying or dividing both quantities by the same number. What a great way to practice math skills and prepare for real-world applications! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Did you know, storytelling promotes a sense of community and belonging? It enables students to engage in sense-making, helps develop empathy and self-confidence and facilitates learning. Our 1st graders are telling stories through reading to their "reading buddies" who are attentive listeners. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Zebra Baseball Celebrates the Game and the Military "We play it as kids, we watch it and listen to it as adults, and we pass down our love of the Game through generations. Baseball is an American family tradition. This Game is closely tied to us in a very personal way, but what you may not realize is how much it is also tied to history. Often referred to as America's National Pastime, baseball has had a very active role in the shaping of this nation. From the Civil War to Civil Rights and all points in between and beyond, the game of baseball supports and reflects many aspects of American life, from culture to economics and technological advances. It inspires movements, instills pride and even heals cities." (baseballhall.org) Photo credit: Hailey Pickup #CPSZEBRAPRICE #MilitaryAppreciation

We are proud to recognize one of our wonderful volunteers, Mrs. Clemons, for her amazing work with our 1st graders! She recently taught them all about crystals and helped them create their own. The students were mesmerized by this scientific process and thoroughly enjoyed their time with Mrs. Clemons. We are so grateful for all she does to support our students and our school community. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

THIS IS THE SUPER BOWL OF PARENT ENGAGEMENT! Tonight Claremore High School's yearly ZAP (Zebra Advisement Program) concludes its year-long process with its annual enrollment night for all current 8th - 11th graders. Hundreds of parents walked through the doors of CHS to enroll their children into the 23-24 school year. Parents, students, and teacher advisors discussed the current transcript, credits, classes, and opportunities to make a schedule conducive to the individual needs of their child. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

🎶🎵Music is the language of the soul and our 5th graders proved it right! They had a blast during their field trip to hear the Tulsa Symphony where they sang, danced and interacted with the orchestra. The Link Up concert offered a unique experience with Tulsa Opera singers, dancers, vocalists from the University of Tulsa, and the Tulsa Symphony Orchestra all coming together to create beautiful music. Let's incorporate music into our daily lives and become an accompaniment to the world around us. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Check out what Mrs. Mann's 2nd-grade students accomplished in math today... they took graphing to a whole new rainbow level! 🌈📊 Using Skittles to represent different colors of the rainbow, these kiddos learned how to graph their data and illustrate their findings. We love seeing our students have fun while learning new concepts, and this is definitely one for the books! 🌟 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

IT'S TIME FOR ANOTHER TEACHER TAKEOVER Mrs. Marcy Ward, a teacher at Catalayah, will take over the CPS social media stories to give us a peek into the life of a 1st-grade teacher and some exciting news about Catalayah.

Character is important at any age and any position. Safety patrol member Hudson recognizes good character in others. He celebrated the effort of our wonderful Mrs. Nicks and presented her with a character recognition award. If you are grabbing lunch or dinner tonight (3.30.23) consider El Azteca which is hosting a benefit for Mrs. Nick's fight against cancer. We all need to be as Tough As Nicks! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
