Check out what Mrs. Ward's 1st-grade class has been working on this past week.
Their book study this week was Nerdy Birdy! Nerdy Birdy didn't fit in with the "cool" birds but eventually found a flock of birds just like him! However, that's not where the story ends. Vulture comes along. She's nothing like the nerdy birds. Nerdy Birdy friends her even when the rest of the group won't get to know her.
It's a sweet story about being friends with all types of people and celebrating our differences! They used the story to learn about the setting, vocabulary, sentence structure, writing, friendship, and birds!
During Friday Float time, Mrs. Christian and Mrs. Roller spiraled in lessons about the life cycle of eagles and bird beaks! The students made a little bird feeder to reinforce the lessons!

Mrs. Ward's class at Claremont listens in for a read aloud. Reading aloud to students is so important, in developing listening skills, expression, inflection, vocabulary, comprehension, visualization, and builds classroom community.

Setting the stage for success. FUZE / Freshman orientation at Claremore High School is about more than showing students around the building. It's about forming relationships, creating culture, and sharing a few laughs along the way. It's about building the #CPSZEBRAPRIDE!
It does not end with Freshman Orientation. FUZE mentors will continue to host events for the freshman class throughout the year to help them acclimate to their new high school life.
