They wrapped it all up with a collaborative poster that beautifully tied their learning and hopes together. What an informative and wholesome way to start the day!
Go Mrs. Harrison’s class!



Our 4th graders have loved their time in the STEM Lab with Ms. Cardwell! Students had fun diving into hands-on activities that encourage curiosity, teamwork, and problem-solving while building skills in science, technology, engineering, and math.
STEM learning helps students think critically, ask great questions, and learn that it’s okay to try, adjust, and try again. We’re so proud of the creativity and enthusiasm our students bring to STEM!










These little math gators really snapped learning into place and we had to share the fun with you!










Here is NUMBER 18!
This week’s featured find is Ungifted by Gordon Korman—a smart, hilarious story that proves labels don’t define potential. Full of humor and heart, this book reminds readers that sometimes being “ungifted” is actually a gift in disguise.
Thank you, Ms. Browning, for continuing to highlight stories that challenge thinking, spark conversation, and keep our students excited about reading!

Tis the season in Oklahoma - sniffling, sneezing, coughing, headache, fever, tummy aches, nausea, etc.
We miss our students when they are absent, but sometimes they need to recover at home. How do you make that decision? CPS encourages following the Oklahoma State Department of Health guidelines. These guidelines will help the child recover and prevent the spread of illness to other students and staff.

The Ms. Cardwell's STEM Lab has been buzzing with excitement as Mrs. Millsap’s class plans and designs their robots. Students are carefully mapping out each step and preparing for the next big moment—bringing their robots to life.
As part of the challenge, students are solving math problems while programming their robots to navigate a neighborhood map in a race against the clock. The goal? Collect as much “candy” from each house as possible in under 30 seconds. This hands-on activity is stretching their thinking, sharpening problem-solving skills, and encouraging teamwork and creativity.
Soon, they’ll be ready to take their robots out, give clear instructions, and proudly tell them to GO. Stay tuned for photos of the robots in action coming soon!

Here is NUMBER 17!
This week’s featured find is The Notebook of Doom series—a monstrously fun favorite that proves a little mystery (and a few creatures) can make reading impossible to put down. Packed with humor, suspense, and just the right amount of spook, this series keeps readers hooked from cover to cover.
Thank you, Ms. Browning, for keeping curiosity alive and making reading an adventure our students can’t resist!

Fifth grade had such a fun and engaging learning experience and we couldn’t resist highlighting a few more moments!







Way to go, fifth grade—you really marsh-made learning fun!








Our staff also stepped up in amazing ways. The cafeteria team prepared food early to support our kindergarten students, lunch was moved to take advantage of natural light, and each group enjoyed a fun “5-Star Dining Experience” with instrumental music. Even after power was restored, every group received the same special experience. This day was a great example of teamwork, adaptability, and putting students first.
Way to go Claremont staff!
