Claremore Public Schools

In Music, the students learn to play the xylophone and boom whackers. A xylophone is a musical instrument with wooden bars; mallets hit the bars to make a sound. Boom whackers are tubes that supplement the xylophone and make a sound when hit on the floor. Students used these instruments to learn about the pentatonic scale chords and to balance an ensemble sound. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Choir is part of our performing arts program at CPS. This past month, the Treble 131, WRJH select choir, took their talents to the community. From the National Anthem at football games and basketball games to caroling at Claremont and ringing the bell for the Salvation Army, our students showed courage, inspired others, and served! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

The CHS and WRJH TSA members stopped by Roosa to lead the 5th grade in a STEM project. The students separated into groups of two. Each group made a bridge that had to hold weight. The groups used only popsicle sticks, masking tape, and a bowl. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

But they are also building WINNERS! 🤖 Team 8634X won the Design Award and the TOURNAMENT! 🤖 Team 8634R won the Judges Award!

2nd grade celebrated Stuart Roosa Day with a writing activity. Students wrote about the fun adventures they would have if they were astronauts. They included capital letters at the beginning of the sentences and ended with proper pronunciation. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING.....OUR KIDS ARE GOING BANANAS! This is so cool!!! Mrs. Hall is teaching her steam classes to use fruit as a keyboard. I'm serious!! FRUIT AS A KEYBOARD. MaKey MaKey lets you transform everyday objects (we used fruit) into computer keys. Using a programmable circuit board and alligator clips the students were conducting electricity through the apples and bananas. Once connected the fruit became the computer arrows and could be used in any program on their computer. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Learning is messy! In Mr. Gregg's class, students build volcanoes to wrap up their lesson on Plate Tectonics. Students were able to erupt their volcanoes multiple times, each time adding a layer of 'lava' where it exploded. Students were so engaged they asked permission to take photos & videos of their volcano erupting. Every time they show someone their photos, they will be reinforcing what they learned in class. That's a WIN for the teacher and the student. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

WELCOME BACK! We are so excited to be back to in-person learning! We were gone so long Principal Young's hair grew back! 💇🏽‍♂️ #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Here is a sneak peek of what is happening at Catalayah on this Distance Learning Day. Our outstanding IT Department is here to install Promethean Boards for Kindergarten- 3rd grade classes!!! We are so fortunate to have such an AMAZING IT crew. A Promethean Board is a whiteboard that connects to a computer, allowing teachers to project and interact with images on its screen. The teachers were so excited to learn how to use this instructional tool on our DL day; they were ready when the students returned today!! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Snow days are not just for kids! Catalayah teachers "snow" how to have fun! ▶ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lheZb6BZNc&t=11s

That’s what we call “flexible searing” on Distance Learning days. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

It's another Distance Learning day; teachers will log on and engage students, thanks to the #CPSZEBRABOND2019 1:1 technology that has been distributed district-wide to all our students. Teachers will be logging on from their homes today and will be available during school hours. It's not the optimum teaching/learning situation, but we are glad to be teaching/learning while keeping our staff and students safe. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
