Mr. Isenbart's TSA (Technology Student Association) members came to show Roosa 4th and 5th grade about their science filled association. They constructed catapults and towers using everyday items; while exposing them to the basic concepts of TSA, including but not limited to problem solving, applications and teamwork using various STEM projects. Students teaching students - what a great idea! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Looks like Buddy found his way above the smart board today so he could make sure all the students were paying attention whey the teacher was in front of the class. Follow #elfontheshelfclaremore to see what mischief Buddy gets into this month. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

CHS took 300 10th graders to the Sophomore Showcase this fall to explore the career programs NTC offers in preparation for their junior year. Students were able to pick three programs to tour at the Pryor Campus, allowing more 1:1 time and the opportunity for some hands-on experience with the tools, projects, and equipment. At the Claremore campus, students toured all six of their full-time programs. This event is a strategic opportunity in the ICAP process, creating more evident benefits for both students and schools. CPS is approaching and delivering career development in our schools to help students and their families become more informed consumers of the education and training required to meet their personal goals. Students will continue this process throughout high school. However, the exposure to these programs allows these students an intimate look into several career options made possible through career-tech training while in high school &/or after high school. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Claremont Elementary 3rd graders created a Native American Museum complete with artifacts from the five civilized tribes! Do you still remember your Native American unit from elementary school? What tribe did you do your report, living museum, or project over? #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

The holiday may be over but we are not ready to stop celebrating last week's Thanksgiving festivities. Roosa 4th grade hosted a meal and made costumes. A tradition most of us remember from elementary school. We should certainly count our blessings, but we should also make our blessings count. -Neal A. Maxwell

Buddy was very tired from a full day of school after the long Thanksgiving break. Students found him sleeping in the tissue box this morning. Follow #elfontheshelfclaremore to see what mischief Buddy gets into this month. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Are you a crime show junkie? Do you find yourself binge-watching Law & Order, CSI, NCIS or Criminal Minds? With a plethora of crime series on TV there has been an increased interest in our Forensic Science classes. One of our students' favorite units is the Blood and Blood Spatter unit. This project students have to recreate bloodstain patterns, find the area of convergence, angle of impact, and velocity. No one here is learning "How to Get Away with Murder" but we may have the next modern-day "Sherlock Holmes" in the house. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

An Elf appeared in Mrs. Hutchins' classroom Monday at Catalayah. The students agreed on the name "Buddy"🎄 Apparently "orange" is the new "green".

Roosa 3rd grade read the book Balloons over Broadway by Melissa Sweet, the true story of Tony Sarg, the creator of the balloons in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The students learned how a gas makes a balloon float. They went on to created and design their own floats. The students made the balloons big by using vinegar and baking soda, which caused a gas to inflate the balloon. Here are some pictures of the students making these gases and capturing them in the balloon. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
