Do you know the different types of waves? Not ocean waves or lake waves, but waves that transport energy without transporting matter.
They come in many shapes and forms. Mrs. Gillispie's class are investigating mechanical waves with springs. Students created video examples of transverse and mechanical waves with springs.

💖Valentine's Day💖fun may have been interrupted by Mother Nature, but before she decided to bring us this cold weather, our NJHS and STUCO students were hard at work making Candy Grams! The sales from this and other fundraisers help NJHS and STUCO do fun things throughout the school year and teach students the importance of volunteering! *Candy grams will be delivered when we return to school.

✨STAFF SPOTLIGHT✨
My name is Donna Eddings and I am the librarian at WRJH. I have been teaching here for almost 20 years. I began my career at the junior high as a paraprofessional before earning a Master of Library
and Information Studies from the University of Oklahoma in 2015. Since then, I have become a certified Library Media Specialist. I grew up in Northeast Oklahoma and have been a Claremore resident
for over 35 years. My husband and I raised our two sons in Claremore. He and our sons are all Claremore Zebra graduates. My favorite thing about being the WRJH librarian is having the opportunity
to help others and I especially love helping students find just the right book!

Adaptation is a change in structure, function, or behavior by which a species or individual improves its chance of survival in a specific environment. All of us adapt to our surroundings. 8th grade science students are learning about adaptations first hand. Each student received a bird beak and had to get food in order to survive. Each beak was well suited for certain environments and students were able to figure out if they were specialized or general and create a class graph to identify patterns.

Meet the counselor: Kaci Warren
I am Kaci Warren and I am one of the school counselors at WRJH. This is my sixth year in education and I love seeing kids grow and change across the course of their education. I enjoy being on the go and when the weather is nice I spend a lot of time outdoors. I enjoy riding motorcycles, traveling, hiking, reading and spending time with family. This has been a very exciting year for my family and this May my husband and I will be welcoming our first baby into the world!

Mrs. Stout's geography students are comparing and contrasting the different government systems in Africa by creating a collaborative Venn diagram. They took turns placing items on the diagram and then worked together to correct their mistakes. All of the classes were able to complete their Venn diagram, but 6th hour did it in only 4 minutes and 30 seconds! Way to go!
