Claremore Public Schools is now live with the new electronic flyer communication tool called “Peachjar.” To view school-approved eflyers, simply click the Peachjar button on your school’s website homepage or mobile app. This “green” initiative will save our schools tons of paper and reduce copy costs by thousands of dollars.

Mrs. Esau's class has an exciting classroom business called "Coffee Delight- Awesome Coffee for Teachers" that delivers coffee and treats to teachers every Friday. This Friday was extra special and featured a hot chocolate bar and beautifully decorated cart! This project helps our kids with life skills like following directions, interview skills, social skills, money sense, as well as gives them a sense of pride in our school building. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Who is ready for the HOLIDAYS? Our fabulous ART🎨 teachers! Mrs. Brunjes-Hall and Mrs. Roach are looking very festive in their holiday colors! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Do you know what a neurographic painting is? In Mrs. Roach's art classes, students are learning (and painting!) about Neurographic paintings. Neurographic art is a simple way to work with the subconscious mind through drawing. If you can dream it, they can draw it! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

In Mrs. Wood's computer class, they learned about how a satellite in space sends pixels to our devices to create our digital images! In a digital signal, the pixel values are listed in order so that the computer knows where they are located in the picture. One student acts as the satellite by telling his/her partner which box (or pixel) to fill in with what color. The other student acts as the computer and places the pixels correctly. So before they started, they had to come up with their own system on how they would transmit the data. And in the end they ended up with a Christmas picture! How cool! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

How can you use evidence to determine if a change is physical or chemical? In Mrs. Worley's class, students are finding evidence of a physical or chemical change. In a chemical change, there is a change in the composition of the substances. In a physical change, there is a difference in smell or appearance. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

How do you teach students about DNA structures? You use TWIZZLERS! Students built DNA models out of twizzler candy. This was to help them practice matching up the organic bases together to make pairs. This also helped them visualize the double helix structure of DNA. And, they tasted pretty good, too! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Who doesn't love pumpkin pie?🥧 Students in Mrs. Boyd's 7th grade Science classes are studying types of mixtures- homogeneous and heterogeneous. They made pumpkin pie in a bag to show a homogeneous mixture! It tasted pretty good, too! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

In Mrs. Roach’s Art class, we’re filling all the fall vibes. We’re finishing up our abstract unit. What great artwork! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

What are Mrs. Tietz's students doing in the commons? They are learning about DNA and what it is made of. The students were doing a relay to build a model of DNA with the phosphate group, a deoxyribose sugar and the 4 bases: Adenine, Thymine, Guanine and Cytosine. The first group to build their half of the DNA correctly won! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Are Mrs. Gillispie's Science students jumping rope? No, they are recreating different types of mechanical waves using springs! They are also identifying parts of a wave such as amplitude and frequency. You never know what fun activities will be happening in our hallways! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Mrs. Newbury's High School Physical Science classes have been working on forces and Newton's Laws. They have created Newton's Cradles and tried to save their eggs from breaking! What great ideas! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
