Can you find the area and perimeter of an object? Students in Mrs. Smith's math class created mosaics to help them find areas and perimeters. This looks like a fun math project!

✨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.

#CPSZEBRAPRIDE
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!

Mrs. Shilling's Current Events class came up with a FUN way to help our local animal shelter with a White Elephant service project! Before our holiday break, the class chose to bring gifts for our local shelter. They wrapped them and played the White Elephant game, unwrapping and stealing gifts from each other! After they wrapped, unwrapped, and played the game, all the gifts were donated to Claremore Animal Shelter! What a fun way to help out our community!

Mrs. Franklin's class made presentations on the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire. Each student presented in front of the class where they had to make a claim and be able to support their claim with reasons and evidence. Presenting in front of the class not only helps all students learn about the lesson, it gives students practice in speaking in front of a group, confidence in themselves, and listening skills for all involved.
