Roosa Elementary

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader. – President John Quincy Adams This quote might have been said a century or so before she stepped into the principal spot - or was even born - but you can't convince us that it's not talking about our very own wonderful Mrs. Willard. "She's always very kind and leads with respect," says one student "She makes everything fun and is so loving!" says another Teachers were heard saying things like, "She truly loves EVERY kid, no matter what, and the kids feel that." "I love that she feeds us. A lot. And she's always happy. . .maybe that's because of all the good food." There are so many qualities that help make her the amazing leader that she is, and we are so thankful for each and every one of them! Happy School Principal Day, Mrs. Willard!! Thank you for being you! #SchoolPrincipalDay2024 #RoosaPrincipalsRock #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Once upon a time, in a magical, not so far away land, a ball was held for the lords and ladies, dukes and duchesses, princes and princesses, and of course the fairest of kings and queens in all of second grade. 👑 They came in droves in their finery and danced and sang as families watched on in merriment. A bow here, a curtsy there, and another Roosa Second Grade Fairytale Ball has come to a close. And they all lived happily ever after. The End. #OnceUponATime #FairytaleBall #HappilyEverAfter #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Some sank each other's ships in PE, others pounded out clay in art, and more still played some fun games to test their knowledge on notes on the treble and bass staff in music. Fifth grade starts their state testing today, so of course they've got to shake off some stress, get out the wiggles, and just plain have some fun before the testing begins! Good luck, guys! Just do your best, and ROCK THAT TEST! #RockTheTest #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Sometimes the lessons that stick with us longest are the ones that came from the most unexpected surroundings. Flexibility and thinking outside the box are two things that will help on any journey!

Things you expect on the playground: Children running 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ Laughter 😆 Playing 🏈⚽ 🏀 Things you don't expect: Baby bunnies! 🐰🐰 5th grade did a great job spotting and protecting these little guys until they could be safely moved by a professional. Thanks guys! #WhereTheWildThingsAre 🐰 #TheWorldIsOurClassroom #SpringtimeInOklahoma 🌷🌼 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE 💓🤍💓🤍

Congratulations to Muriel Alexander on funding of a Fast Track Grant! "CPSF is always bridging the gap in the classroom. Roosa 5th grade students have been enjoying tables that were provided through the Fall grant cycle, and we are now being awarded storage for student supplies due to the tables not having a storage area. Thank you to all who donate to CPSF, you are providing needs in the classroom that not all aware exist! Teachers couldn’t effectively do what we do without your support."-Muriel Alexander, Roosa Elementary School #CPSF #TeacherGrants #FastTrackGrant #CPSZEBRAPRIDE #ExcellenceInEducation

April 10th marks National Encourage a Young Writer Day! Many of the worlds' most famous authors got their starts because of parents and teachers just like you who cheered them along their imaginative path. These second graders got a jump start with their very own published book. Each one authored and illustrated just what they'd be "If I Were an Animal." Keep up the great work! #CelebrateCreativity #EncourageAYoungWriterDay 📝🖋

Roosa students spent a large part of their day Monday learning everything possible about the impending eclipse. Many classes created eclipse inspired art, studied the delicious phases of the moon, and some even acted out how the sun, moon and Earth work together to create the eclipse! It's a safe bet that they're going to be talking about this event for years and years to come! ☀🔆🕶 #TotalEclipseOfTheArt #KnowledgeIsPower #Eclipse2024 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Them: What's with all those kids laying around outside? Us: Don't mind us....we're just making memories while we learn about the world around us! #MemoriesMade #Eclipse2024 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Fourth and Fifth had a chance to go out before the sun was totally covered so they could discuss the changes they noticed. On top of the shrinking of the sun, many pointed out the cooler temperatures they felt and the quieting of the birds. The observational skills are strong with these young padawans! #Eclipse2024 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
