Superposition...its definition is exactly what it sounds like. The rock formations on the Earth start with a base layer which holds the younger sedimentary rock layers. In Mrs. Hammack's class, students are studying the Law of Superposition. They made rock layers with smashed jolly ranchers.

Mrs. Rahn’s class has been studying our Star (the sun) and the upcoming Annular Eclipse. On Saturday, October 14th, between 10:30 AM and 1:30 PM, Oklahoma will be able to see 78% of the Annular Eclipse. Peak will be at 11:51 AM. Students made their own solar eclipse pinhole viewers for the eclipse and tried to view sunspots on the Sun Spotter.
An Annular Eclipse is when the moon does not cover the entire disc of the sun, so that a ring of sunlight surrounds the shadow of the moon.

WRJH 🎇PLAYERS OF THE WEEK🎇
🏈FOOTBALL🏈
This week’s players of the week are Levi Robinson, Ryder Green, and Chris White! Defensively Ryder was all over the field causing chaos and also scoring a pair of touchdowns on the offensive end. Chris and Levi play a huge role on the offensive line and the defensive side as well! Chris made a big interception in the game and Levi made his presence on the offensive line moving guys around. Congratulations to these three and their effort earning them PLAYER of the WEEK!
Braylen Walker and Major Poole-Cain are our 8th grade players of the week! Braylen Walker got a pick against Pryor and made multiple key tackles against the Pryor Tigers! Major Poole-Cain has been a force all season at defensive end. Against Pryor, Major had a sack and a forced fumble!

How do you get to know your community? You go on field trips!
Mrs. Esau's class is taking community field trips this year. One of the first trips was to the Will Rogers library. The students enjoyed looking at their great variety of books. Afterwards, the students were able to compare/contrast the public library vs. the WRJH library. Although the staff at the public library is wonderful, we are still partial to our school librarian, Mrs. Eddings!
