Will Rogers Junior High

Mr. Wadsworth's classes are kicking off a new unit all about cultures 🌏. To start, students have formed groups and shared their own unique family holiday traditions 🎁🎄. Then, each student will select a culture from around the world to research and put together a trifold poster 📋. We can't wait to see the final products and celebrate the beauty of different cultures! Stay tuned for the next project! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Our staff and students had a GREAT week for Red Ribbon Week! We had lots of fun with dress-up days! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Pouring Love into Education ❤️ This holiday season, add a little extra sweetness to your celebrations with Chick-fil-A sweet tea and lemonade.

Help us surpass last year's $3,000 donation for classroom and teacher grants district-wide. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Mrs. Newbury's science class just wrapped up our unit on waves, and it's been a total eye-opener! 👁 Students learned how visible light creates the colors we see, but did you know there's a whole world of unseen waves out there? To get a better understanding, students took a closer look at the inner workings of the human eye, discovering how it detects different wavelengths and transforms them into the vibrant hues we see! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Mrs. Hughes' class just dived into the thrilling world of 'The Most Dangerous Game' with a short story reading. To test the students' knowledge and understanding, they played a board game based on the story's key elements. What a fun way to review! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Mrs. Newbury's high school physical science class is diving deep into the world of waves and colors! Today, we used finger lasers to explore the different wavelengths of light and how they interact to create a rainbow of colors. It's amazing to see science in action! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

In a creative twist on the classic "Simon Says" game, Ms. Reyes' class took it to the floor—literally! Using a large map as their game board, students played a version of Simon Says that not only tested their listening skills but also their geographical knowledge. Who knew learning could be this fun? Way to go, Ms. Reyes' class! And a special thank you to the Oklahoma Alliance for Geographic Education who graciously lent us their traveling giant map of South America! Students spotted many cities, landforms, and even found exact coordinates of places. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
