❓Do you have any resolutions for 2023❓ After reading different books about resolutions, each student in Mrs. Howell's class chose ONE word that they want to implement more of this year! What a great way to visualize goals and aspirations for 2023!! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

First graders are learning how to write formal letters. 💌 The kids dated them, picked a special person to send it to and wrote what was in their hearts! ♥️ We love seeing such meaningful words from some of our youngest, great job guys! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Talk about a day filled with SNOW much fun! Roosa kindergarten students got to stack snowballs, paint a snow family, create a STEM object with marshmallows and paint a snowman. They even ended their day with a massive snowball fight in the gym! ❄️⛄❄️⛄❄️⛄ #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

3rd grade students are learning about emperor penguins! 🐧 To enrich their learning about how penguins feathers have a waxy coating to repel water, students colored penguins with wax crayons and then sprayed them with water to see how the wax repels the water!💧 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

She even gave each student a special rainbow pen as a gift! 🌈 Students used these to illustrate what each vocabulary word meant. What a great way to make challenging tasks fun! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Reduce, Reuse and Recycle!! ♻️ Students were given a project to make a fun pet toy out of materials they had at home. Their goal was to learn about how we can reduce our impact on Earth's systems by reusing materials to make things instead of buying new items. They presented their toys to the class and received feedback about how their product could be improved. They got so creative and really enjoyed this project 💖 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

History in the making... literally! Coach Dexter's History classes are reviewing their history concepts and making movie posters over the American Revolution! Learning about the Battle of Saratoga, Battle of Bunker Hill, the Life of Nathan Hale and The Crossing of the Delaware is even more exciting when you start creating posters that bring it to life! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Mr. Isenbart’s high school TSA students created STEM activities and stopped by to share them with the 5th graders!! The TSA students were divided into groups and each 5th grade class had a different lesson. They made rockets that flew, cars that zoomed and separated oil from water. STEM is FUN! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

In honor of “I Love Public Schools Day,” we want to recognize someone who has been a major supporter of Claremore Public School over the years, Mr. Don McGuire! When asked why Don is passionate about public school, he said “Because of two public school teacher's, I'm the first person in my family to graduate from both high school and college, as they encouraged me to go to college after the military... I'm 72 and just trying to be an encouragement to those teachers who have gone through so much and let them know that I’m grateful for what they do. It's teachers like them that made a difference in my life, and I want to encourage them and say thank you, I care." Don was raised in Tulsa, but left to join the Army during Vietnam. When he came home from the service, he married his high school sweetheart, Sharon. He worked at a factory and would go to college at night, and eventually earned his degree in Criminal Justice. After he retired, he and his wife moved to Pryor to take care of his dad. He ended up being a substitute teacher at Pryor Middle School and High School for 9 years. After his dad was moved to the VA center in Claremore, Don and Sharon bought a house near Westside Elementary to be close to him. They fell in love with Claremore and started taking donuts to Westside and Claremont, just to brighten the teachers’ days. Thank you Don and Sharon for your constant kindness, support, and love for Claremore Public Schools! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
