Claremore Public Schools

Roosa's Native American Club members are working on a basket weaving project. The process has several steps and it is time-consuming. The students cut 11 pieces of reed (spokes) 10 inches long and soaks the reeds before weaving. The soaked reed is inserted into the drilled plywood base. Bringing one spoke over the other until all the spokes are secure. Once that is complete, they start weaving the baskets. They get a long piece of reed and weave it in and out through each spoke until they come to an end, then start over. Midway up the basket, they can insert beads if desired. The process continues until they get to the top of the basket. The basket must stay wet throughout the entire process to weave the reed. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Zebra family, the WRJH Girls STEM club, needs your help! They need you to give their video Claremore Will Rogers Flyers a “like” (👍) on their YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/4mcrUCmKicU More about the project - What is Speedfest? It is an event put on by Oklahoma State University through aerospace engineering for college, high school, and middle school students. Students in the high/middle school level build RC (remote control) planes to compete in a competition with other schools. Seven WRJH girls spent time after-school in the Fall learning the principles of flight, aerodynamics, etc., to gain the background knowledge needed to build the plane. Since February, the girls have been building the aircraft, designing helmets (hard hats), and this video. Thank you to Will Rogers Memorial for letting them use pictures and videos from the memorial to produce this video. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

BEFORE GOOGLE... we used a paper-bound dictionary? This skill is still important in a book or online. In 2nd grade students opened the dictionary and discovered the part of speech, pronunciation and definition of words. Words in the dictionary are listed in alphabetical order and grouped by Guide Words found at the top of the page. Take some time to learn a new word and look it up in a dictionary. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Who remembers BizTown? What was your job? Post it in the comments. What is BizTown, you ask? JA BizTown combines in-class learning with a day-long visit to a simulated town. This popular learning experience allows elementary school students to operate banks, manage restaurants, write checks, and vote for mayor. Students are able to connect the dots between what they learn in school and the real world. This was such an amazing experience for Claremont's group of 5th graders - lots of fun and learning was had by all, and our students were even complimented by BizTown staff for how great they were the entire day! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Baseball or Algebra? Which is more fun? How about both! Students in Mrs. Lohmann's class practiced calculating experimental probability by drafting a baseball team and playing 4 inning games against each other. What a great way to make ALGEBRA fun! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

At Monday's Board of Education meeting, members of the board had to privilege to do one of the duties they enjoy most - recognize the accomplishment of CPS students. Swimmers Sylvia Admire and Brenlyn Vickery were recognized for their 6A State Swim Meet performance. Sylvia is the 100 & 200 freestyle STATE CHAMPION. Kai Schultz was recognized for his wrestling STATE RUNNER-UP victory, academic performance with a GPA over 4.0, and 100 win club status. And although the wins are nice, the grit they show, resolve to continue, commitment to excellence, desire to win and motivation to improve they have developed on their way to the "win" that makes us most proud of our student-athletes. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Along with announcements, this week's ZTV features a new series, "Principals Try." This week Dr. Hindenburg tries out for baseball with Carson Young. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE https://youtu.be/TZnlJ5PVc3c
