GT students did several experiments this week.
In this one, they learned WHY water will defy gravity and climb up some materials (a paper towel), but not others (plastic or metal): absorption, adhere/ adhesion, water molecules, porous material, microscopic, & cohesion.

Our students use their devices every day! 1st grade students work on their devices during small group rotations, and spend time on programs such as Prodigy for math, Reading Eggs for reading, or Epic for read to self.

As a part of their morning attendance routine, Pre-K students add their names to the "present" column, and then count together the number of students who are absent and the number who are present.
These students are learning great number sense!

Do you remember having a journal as an elementary student?
5th grade students take time to write in their journals every day - sometimes with a prompt and sometimes free writing, getting to put to paper whatever is on their mind.
Writing is such an important, foundational skill for elementary students, as it becomes more complex and inherent in schooling as students grow and mature.

For 3rd graders, "the cold never bothered them anyway!"
Students are still enjoying outdoor recess - and will continue to do so until the weather no longer permits. Please remember to send your child to school in weather appropriate clothing, and don't forget to send a coat!

2nd grade students were eager to get back to the library to exchange their books!
Did you know, reading not only widens a child's vocabulary, but through reading, children develop empathy, build confidence, and expand their imagination. Reading impacts many facets of a child's development!

4th graders work on XtraMath.
XtraMath is an online math fact fluency program that helps students develop quick recall and automaticity of their basic math facts. Math fact fluency is so important as students begin to learn more complex forms of math!

School is back in session and that means small groups are too!
1st grade students move in small group rotations throughout the day to work on new skills and practice already acquired skills. Here, students are working on vocabulary matching puzzles.

Mornings can be hard.
That's why, for this #wellnesswednesday, we want to give you 4 tips for starting your school day mornings with success.
#1. Organize school essentials the night before. Set everything your child needs out for the morning: school clothes, charged devices, etc.
#2. Set an earlier bed-time. Early to sleep, early to rise!
#3. Create a soothing down-time routine before bed. This might include a bath, a story, and snuggles before lights out.
#4. Reduce screen - time. Screen time has been known to make falling asleep harder, shorten attention spans, etc. Allow less screen time sets your child up for school day success!

We are reminiscing on this cold Tuesday morning!
Before we left for our Holiday Break, Kindergarten students celebrated Polar Express Day - with PJ's, hot cocoa, popcorn, and of course the movie: The Polar Express!
As much fun as we had before our break, and as much fun as we know you had while we were out of school, we are so happy to be back in the building with our students!

Happy New Year from Claremore Public Schools. As we enter into a new year, we all seem to take time to reflect on our lives, habits, choices from the past and contemplate how they impact our future. This reflection can lead to new inspiration, goals, resolutions, or a new focus. Instead of adding to it, some consideration may lead to removing obstacles or habits from our lives. Either way, we are all looking for a positive change.
Whether you choose a resolution, a goal, a word - we'd love for you to share it with us on our FB page and maybe inspire others.
Remember: Our students return on Tuesday, January 4th.

As a gift from our Library Media Specialist, Mrs. Troyer, every student in our building received a book today before leaving for the Christmas holiday!

Dear Santa...
How many of you remember writing letters to Santa as a child? Students in Mrs. Stadler's class wrote letters to Santa before the break, letting him know they had been very GOOD this year.
