The Claremore Fire Department visited Westside Elementary to teach students about the importance of fire safety and they made it an unforgettable experience! 🔥🚒
Students learned all about fire trucks, the gear firefighters wear, and how they respond to emergencies. Through hands-on activities, they even practiced how to safely exit a house or building in case of a fire. 🧯🏠
To top it off, our kindergarteners got in on the fun with a shoot-the-hoop challenge for a chance to try on real firefighter gear and one lucky student nailed the shot! 🏀👨🚒
A huge thank-you to the Claremore Fire Department for keeping our community safe and inspiring our future heroes! ❤️

Mrs. Simmonds’ students became little scientists as they explored how bird beaks help different species survive in the wild. Using various “beaks” (aka tools!), they tested which ones worked best to pick up different materials, just like Darwin’s finches! 🐦
This fun, hands-on lab helped them discover how adaptations help animals thrive in their environments. Science came to life right in the classroom!

Honoring Service Through Storytelling 🎖️
Westside Elementary GT students, 3rd through 5th-grade, had the privilege of hearing from Vietnam veteran Don McGuire, who shared stories from his time serving in the U.S. Army Military Police and the Air Force Security Police in the early 1970s.
Mr. McGuire spoke about using the military as a pathway to college, the importance of choosing friends wisely, and the value of giving back to the community. He also honored the memory of eight of his classmates from McLain High School, including two close friends, who were among the 50,000+ Americans who lost their lives in Vietnam.
We are incredibly thankful to Mr. Don McGuire for his service and for inspiring our students with his wisdom, courage, and heart.

Mrs. Hall’s 1st graders took their learning beyond the classroom walls last week! ☀️✏️
Armed with their morning journals, students explored adjectives in action—describing how the breeze felt, how the sun shined, and what the clouds looked like floating above. ☁️
They wrapped up by illustrating the beautiful skies they observed. What an awesome way to blend creativity, writing, and a little outdoor inspiration! 🌿📚
