What's the most important thing about those everyday objects around you? Can it be different for different people? "The Important Book" asks children to think deeply about the importance of everyday objects, from apples to spoons. Catalayah teacher, Mrs. Ward, asks students to look deeper and see what is important about each other. A lesson in critical thinking, gratitude, appreciation, humanity, and observation. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

It's virtually impossible to avoid the excitement inspired by pumpkins. They have come to symbolize not only the vibrant color of the fall season but the spirit of the season as well. This is the best time of the year to utilize the endless possibilities of pumpkins in classroom activities. Pumpkin-related curriculum links math, science, language arts, social studies, cooking, and the arts. Mrs. Cole's Pre-K class explored all the characteristics of the pumpkin last week and followed it up with a field trip to the pumpkin patch this week. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

At Claremore Public Schools, we strive to create a work atmosphere for our teachers and staff that is collaborative, supportive, and stimulating. A productive learning environment for students depends on the ability of our teachers to share ideas and best practices with other educators and to have access to the most up-to-date training in the field of education. By recruiting the very best education professionals, we can be sure of the continued success of our students. Today teachers will meet with their PLC groups the last hour of the day. EARLY OUT TODAY!
