"A baseball field must be the most beautiful thing in the world. It's so honest and precise. And we play on it. Every star gets humbled. Every mediocre player has a great moment." -Jim Lefebvre
Recently, the Claremore baseball program got a new big boy toy to help maintain the most beautiful field in NEOK.

Students in Ms. Lopez's French II class introduced various francophone (French-speaking) regions to one another using brochures that they completed independently. Each brochure highlighted important cultural and historical facts while incorporating French vocabulary and sentence structure, and allowed the students to showcase their individual creativity.
Students divided into small groups to present their brochures in both French and English and collaboratively gave constructive feedback to prepare for future class presentations.

It is December 1773 and Mrs. Kropp's Social Studies Secret Agents are using multiple types of ciphers and puzzles to help the Sons of Liberty unlock the door to their meeting room. Sam Adams, John Hancock, and Paul Revere are counting on their sleuthing skills and knowledge to find the code, but time is running out. If the meeting happens, it will start a massive push for freedom; if not, we forever under the King's tyrannical rule.

As we watch Miss Hall and the STEM club build their robots, those of us old enough hear George Jetson saying, "Hooba-dooba-dooba!" to express our wonder and astonishment. The students decide the style of robot they want to build. Then the students program the robots to walk, drive around, bend over, and pick up items. Stay tuned; videos will be posted after they are complete.

In today's world, navigating different cultural contexts has become an essential life skill. Mrs. Lewis' class at Catalayah learned about the Chinese New Year, which started Saturday. The students discovered 2020 is the Year of the Rat, the first animal in the Chinese zodiac calendar. Students read books and made red paper lanterns. Lanterns are a part of the traditional celebration, and the color red represents luck.

Seniors may act like they're too cool to make giant compound sentences with appropriate conjunctions and punctuation, but they secretly enjoy it.
Mrs. Jill Andrews' class broke into small groups and had a competition to see who could make the longest compound-complex sentence with correct punctuation, of course. First place was 22 clauses. Second place was 21 clauses.
