Living in different regions affect the lives of the people who lived there. The climate, physical surroundings, and natural resources all changed the way they lived. These are significant factors that affected the Native Americans who lived by an ocean or in the Plains. Do the Southwestern tribes have the same climate as the Eastern Woodlands tribes? Would they have the same resources? Wear the same things? Eat the same foods? These are some of the topics 3rd-grade students explored when completing their Native American projects at Westside Elementary.

Oklahoma GEAR UP's Parent Committee is a fantastic way for parents to get involved in helping Claremore High School teachers get the tool and resources needed to help ALL students learn at high levels. Thank you to the Claremore Gear Up parent partners.
"See these boxes? They might not look like much, but they contain very expensive chemicals and lab equipment that I could not usually afford. However, this shipment was delivered to my lab today, paid for entirely by parent donations. Parents who want the best for their kids. Parents who understand that our schools are severely underfunded. Parents who make me grateful to teach in this district. And now the fun begins," -Joy Hatfield

Buddy is trying to catch a fish with the pole he created out of classroom materials. Quite ingenious but doesn't look like the fish are not falling for it today.

Mrs. Ward's class is learning about Compassion, sympathetic consciousness of others' distress together with a desire to alleviate it. Kindness is one way to show compassion.
This time of year, the stockings are hung by the chimney with care, but in Mrs. Ward's class, Santa hangs in her students' cubbies with care. These Santas have acts of kindnesses listed on them. Each day the class focuses on one kind action and then trims Santa's beard as they complete their kind gestures. What a creative way to instill and reinforce compassion in our students.

5th grade took a trip to RCB Bank in Claremore to prepare for Biztown; a town that is run by the students for a day! Among other things, the students will need to know how to balance a checkbook while working at Biztown. This trip helped the students see how a bank operates, and some of the students will be working at the Biztown bank too.

We depend on partnerships with our parents and are very appreciative of their contributions to supplement our classroom activities.

A simple symbolic lesson in working together, community contributions, and friendship.

Coach Short's Zoology class, at CHS, dissected a Dogfish Shark. Dissection can be useful because it allows people to discover and learn about how systems in a body work together. The real experience of this lab, enable a student to be engaged in the learning process and understand the internal organs, identify the tissue organs, and have an appreciation of the complexity of living organisms.
