Yesterday our friends at Claremore Fire Dept came to Catalayah!!! They talked to the kids about Fire Safety and Prevention, safety in the kitchen, staying low if there is a fire, family meeting place and safe ways to get out of the house! The Firemen also showed the kids the gear they wear when there is a fire. We sent home educational coloring books for the kids to take home and a fire hat for each student!! Mrs. Douthitt even found one of her former students!! It’s a great time to talk about Fire Safety at your house. Do you have a meeting place? #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Look at our wonderful Cafeteria Staff!!!! They work so hard for our kids! We are blessed with some of the best ladies around!! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Mrs. Maxville and her 5th grade Science classes did a lab over States of Matter. The students mixed cornstarch and water and observed that the "goop" has properties of both a solid and a liquid. The kids enjoyed the hands on lesson!! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Next week is Homecoming!! Here are the dress up days! *Don't forget we are out of school on Monday for a Professional Development Day. #CPSZEBRAPRDIE

For the past two weeks in Friday Float Mr. Elliott's Explorers have been learning about buildings and tall towers. How in the world are those big buildings able to stand up so big and tall without tipping over, but trash cans and trampolines can blow over so easily on a really windy day? Well we started to answer those questions. A sturdy base is important with building blocks we found out! Great STEM and team building activity! The teamwork was great to watch! Thank you for such wonderful kiddos! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
