Mrs. Ward’s 1st grade class is doing SUCH a great job on their journal entries! ✏️💕
For Thoughtful Thursday, their prompt was:
“The most difficult thing for me…”
Some of their honest answers included:
• Climbing a tree 🌳
• Hitting a baseball ⚾
• Jumping off the diving board 💦
How sweet (and brave!) is that? It takes courage to try hard things and even more courage to write about them.
Their responses are such a good reminder that everyone has something that feels a little scary or challenging at first. But with practice, encouragement, and confidence, those “hard things” can turn into proud moments. 💛

Our Junior High science students are diving into the world of sound waves in the most creative way! 🎶🔬
Using popsicle sticks, rubber bands, and straws, students designed and built their own harmonicas to demonstrate how sound waves are created through vibrations. By hearing—and seeing—the science in action, they were able to connect the concept of waves directly to real-world experiences.
This is innovative learning at its best: hands-on, engaging, and proof that you can absolutely have fun while mastering challenging concepts. Science class has never sounded so good! 🦓

Ms. Golbek’s Chemistry class experienced science in a truly unforgettable way. Using liquid nitrogen, they explored extreme temperature changes and observed firsthand how materials react when exposed to intense cold—freezing and safely shattering roses to demonstrate changes in physical properties.
The hands-on experiment brought classroom concepts to life, giving students a deeper understanding of matter and temperature while keeping learning engaging and memorable. Even Principal Lee stopped by to observe the demonstrations and support our young scientists.
Experiences like this showcase the power of interactive, real-world learning in our classrooms. At CPS, science is engaging, innovative, and always inspiring curiosity.

Mr. Winiecke’s music students have been diving into the details of one small, but mighty, instrument: the triangle! 🔔🎶
They’ve been practicing how to carefully read their music and, just as importantly, learning the value of a well-timed rest. While playing the triangle may look simple, it requires focus, precise timing, and strong listening skills. One perfectly placed ting can make an entire piece sparkle!
We love watching our students grow as musicians and discover that sometimes the most powerful part of music isn’t playing louder—it’s knowing exactly when to play… and when to pause. ✨

Students kicked off their hockey unit this week and are LOVING it! 🏒🥅
One of the key skills they’re developing is striking an object with a long-handled implement, and hockey is the perfect way to build coordination, control, balance, and teamwork. Every pass, shot, and goal is helping sharpen motor skills while keeping students active and engaged.
Who knows? We might just be training future Olympians in our gym right now! 🇺🇸🏅 For now, we’re having a blast learning the fundamentals—and having plenty of fun along the way.

Claremore High School’s Biomed Club kicked off the semester with an innovative, hands-on Trauma Relay Simulation led by a professional trauma team through Youth Medical Mentorship. Students rotated through emergency care stations, practicing critical thinking, rapid decision-making, and real-world medical response skills before participating in a Q&A with healthcare professionals.
This immersive experience not only introduced students to trauma response and healthcare career pathways, but also highlighted the power of community partnerships. We are especially proud that several members of the trauma team are CHS alumni, professionals who once walked our halls and returned to inspire the next generation.
Innovative learning and strong community connections. This is #CPSZEBRAPRIDE.
