Thank you to our wonderful social workers in all Claremore Schools. We recognize and appreciate your important contributions!

Students take over the teaching in Mrs. Sublett's class! Not only do the students get the chance to show their creativity and knowledge, but they also learn valuable communication and leadership skills. And you never know, they may just discover their talent for teaching!

6th graders in the Shooting Stars Pod spent Leap Day learning all about Leap Year! It's all thanks to our slightly uneven calendar system, where it takes the Earth approximately 365.25 days to orbit the Sun. We need to add an extra day every four years to keep our calendars in sync with the seasons! They played hopscotch, measured how far they could leap, and found hidden leap frogs in each class. it sounds like they had a "leaping" good time on Leap Day!
Happy Leap Day!

It's capture the flag meets trivia night in Ms. McKinnon's Geography class! Each student is their own team and they get to work at their own pace on their worksheet. Students get a question checked one by one. If they get it right they can steal a flag from another team. If they get it wrong they lose a flag but can earn it back once answered correctly.
What a great way to combine some friendly competition, individualized learning, and critical thinking skills all in one game!

🥤Sweet Treat Friday!🍫
Our counselors delivered treats to the teachers and staff last Friday! That's so sweet (no pun intended)! 😊 It's great to see school counselors showing appreciation for the hard work of teachers and staff. The power of a simple gesture, like delivering treats, can go a long way in boosting morale and making people feel valued.
Thanks Mrs. Helm and Mrs. Armstrong! You made our day great!😊

In Mrs. Boyd's WIN class, students learned to fold a football flicker and held a contest to see who could "kick" the farthest. Sometimes a little bit of fun and games can go a long way in breaking up the school day! And who doesn't love a good paper football flick contest? It's a great way for students to let loose and have a little friendly competition, all while learning about aerodynamics and physics!

What makes the dream work? Team work! When we are short-staffed, we can always count on Coach Young for a helping hand! Coach Young, our district athletic director, was the former principal at WRJH, and loves to come and help out in the cafeteria when he has a free afternoon! (And enjoys lunch here, too!)
Thanks for always being a team player, Coach!

Mrs. Newbury's Science classes are using a creative way to learn about DNA! Using gummy bears to represent the different base pairs is such a fun and engaging way to understand the structure and function of DNA. And by using color coded gummy bears makes it easy to visualize how the base pairs fit together to create the building blocks of life.
Good job to making learning so fun... and yummy!

Music Appreciation class just got a whole lot louder (and a whole lot more fun)! Who knew buckets could make such an awesome percussion instrument? What a great way to learn about rhythm and percussion! And to appreciate music!

Dictionary Wars... have you played? Dr. Young sure knows how to turn studying into a fun, competitive game. It's like a spelling bee meets Scrabble, but with dictionaries as the secret weapon!
Dictionary Wars is definitely a more engaging and memorable way to learn how to use a dictionary than your standard, run-of-the-mill classroom lessons. I mean, who doesn't love a little friendly competition, especially when it involves expanding your vocabulary and getting rewarded with some candy?!

Wow, what a powerful and poignant way to bring a book to life! 🏃♀️🌊 After reading "A Long Walk to Water," a book about a Sudanese refugee's journey to safety, our 7th grade students got the chance to experience a small taste of what that journey might have been like. Carrying water while walking on a track might seem like a simple thing, but when you consider how far some people have to travel to get clean water, it becomes a powerful lesson in empathy and gratitude. Plus, it gives students a chance to reflect on their own privileges and the resources that many of us take for granted every day. So not only did these English classes get to enjoy a little bit of exercise, but they also got to learn a valuable lesson about the human experience. That's some powerful learning right there!
