Every action has an equal and opposite reaction- right? In Mrs. Hammack's class, students are studying the Laws of Motion. They made cup rockets to show that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

This week in Coach Dexter's History class they are learning about the Great Triumvirate of Senators John C. Calhoun, Henry Clay, and Daniel Webster all shaped our nation over thirty years of service. The three of them work together and are referred to as the Great Triumvirate! Students worked with a partner reading a biography of one of the three people and then were paired off into their own Triumvirate and discussed each of the biographies. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

📚 THANK YOUR LIBRARIAN TODAY 📚 “A library is a good place to go when you feel unhappy, for there, in a book, you may find encouragement and comfort. A library is a good place to go when you feel bewildered or undecided, for there, in a book, you may have your question answered. Books are good company, in sad times and happy times, for books are people - people who have managed to stay alive by hiding between the covers of a book." [Letters of Note; Troy (MI, USA) Public Library, 1971] ― E.B. White It's National Library Workers Day and we can't think of any better way to celebrate than to visit your school librarian and check out a book. I know they will have a recommendation for whatever you want to feel between the pages of a good book. THANK YOU!!!

They must solve complex problems that meet given criteria and are limited by given constraints. Teams apply the scientific method to solve problems over many months. Claremore has a vehicle team (problem 1) and a performance team (problem 5) this year. What a fun competition! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
