🔍🥨 Pretzel Detectives on the Case!

In Mrs. Simmonds’ science class, curiosity and critical thinking took center stage as students became “pretzel detectives”! Using their observation skills, they explored texture, taste, and twisty details, asking questions, making hypotheses, and drawing conclusions.

This hands-on activity blended learning with fun, nurturing both academic excellence and joyful discovery. Our students are living out the Great Expectations by being actively engaged, working cooperatively, and speaking with purpose and we love seeing their grit, curiosity, and innovation shine through!

🎯 Figurative Fun in 4th Grade!

Ms. Johnson’s class tackled figurative language challenges, and their creativity was on fire! 🔥 From similes and metaphors to idioms and personification, these students brought language to life in thoughtful and expressive ways.

By exploring figurative language, they’re not just learning grammar; they’re building voice, purpose, and confidence as young writers. ✍️💬

Way to show innovation and excellence, 4th grade!

🎈Lift Off in the Classroom!

Our Aviation students took their learning to new heights through hot-air balloon testing! By exploring how temperature, weight, and volume affect lift, they gained a hands-on understanding of density and buoyancy, key concepts in real-world flight. 🌬️🪂

Experiences like this turn science into exploration and keep our students engaged and inspired to keep reaching higher!

A few weeks ago, we had the privilege of honoring our 2024-25 Jazz Band with their State Championship Rings! 💍🎶

This incredible group of musicians earned this recognition through countless hours of practice, teamwork, and passion for their craft. Their journey to the top wasn’t easy—it took commitment, grit, and an unwavering drive for excellence.

Every note played and every rehearsal attended reflected their dedication to representing Claremore with pride. They are the embodiment of what it means to have Zebra Pride—hardworking, resilient, and united.

Congratulations, Jazz Band! You’ve made your mark, and we couldn’t be prouder! 🦓🎺💪

💪🧠 Hands-On Learning in Human Body Systems!

Mrs. Perry’s students brought anatomy to life this week as they explored the 6 Rules of Muscles. Using a skeleton model, they investigated how muscles connect, contract, and work together to produce movement.

By visualizing each rule and engaging with the model, students developed a deeper understanding of the human body in action, connecting classroom learning to real-world applications.

💸 Real-Life Financial Literacy in Action! 📊✨

Coach Wadsworth’s class recently got a hands-on lesson in financial literacy through a creative and meaningful class project.

Students kicked things off by interviewing an adult and asking five essential questions about money management. From budgeting and saving to spending wisely, their conversations revealed practical insights into handling personal finances. Students then turned those interviews into posters, complete with reflections and artwork, showing not just what they learned, but how they connected it to their own futures.

To take it a step further, Janna Harding from Oklahoma Central Credit Union visited the class and shared knowledge on smart financial habits. Her real-world advice helped reinforce the importance of building financial skills early and gave students a glimpse into future decision-making.

By engaging in authentic learning experiences like this, our students are developing the tools they need to make informed choices and thrive beyond the classroom.📚💡

💗 This is what it’s all about.

At Catalayah Elementary, our Zebra family came together in a beautiful way, to celebrate Mrs. Griffin finishing her breast cancer treatment.

Students and staff filled the halls with pink to honor her journey, lifting her up with joy, hugs, and plenty of love. Because at Claremore, we don’t just say we’re a family we show up for each other because we are one.

Tomorrow night at the football game, we’ll keep the spirit going strong during our district and community wide Pink Out for the month of October. Wear your pink, bring your pride, and help us show the world what Grit, Community, and Purpose look like Zebra style. 🦓

🎀 Once a Zebra, always a Zebra.

Our Zebra seniors brought the energy during College Application Week, and we couldn’t be more proud of their momentum and enthusiasm!

🐻 Fat Bear Week in Mrs. Williams' Class! 🌲

Mrs. Williams’ students had a beary fun time celebrating Fat Bear Week, a unique and engaging way to learn about wildlife and ecosystems!

From making their own Fat Bear Trail Mix to casting votes for their favorite chunky champions, students got hands-on with this furry-friendly tradition. They even virtually explored Katmai National Park and watched live footage from the bear cam to observe the real stars in action.

Learning about science and nature has never been so fun (or so delicious)!
