Kindergartners at Claremont got caught throwing a ball in class. While working on digraphs in WIN Time, students were given a word, and students would throw a ball what digraph was in the word.

April is National Library Month, so our #MondayMotivation is inspired by Harper Lee, author of To Kill A Mockingbird, who reminds us that we generally see what we look for and hear what we listen for.
Let's look and listen for the positive, the common good, the hope for a better tomorrow, and for what is edifying.

Mrs. Talbert's English III class is reviewing sentence structure to prepare for the upcoming ACT. But that didn't stop her from using April Fools to teach them a lesson - just not one they were expecting.
She had 180 eggs in total: 100 candy eggs and 80 extra credit eggs 😉😉. She told the students that the eggs labeled with an "x" were worth 1pt extra credit. In reality, the "x" eggs contained sentence strips. Students had to identify if the sentence was simple, compound, complex, or compound-complex. "All jokes aside, I have the best students!"

Jeanette Travis is one of two Claremore High School Teacher of the Year site winners. Ms. Travis has been a social studies teacher here since 2005. Ms.Travis believes a passion for teaching and utilizing innovative methods makes good educators. These two philosophies combined help students in her classroom. She also believes that what makes an excellent educator is what they possess outside of the contract day - an "organic drive, passion, and dedication for student learning."
Her goal is to teach beyond the state-mandated curriculum and incorporate ways that engage various learning styles. She includes podcasts, online articles, professional videos and finds value in sparking students' creativity through "old school" posters to enrich her curriculum. She believes a teacher should not only teach but prepare students to be able to apply knowledge.
As the Student Council sponsor, her class, facilitates activities for Teacher Appreciation Week. She encourages school spirit in the staff and student body through her StuCo class events, such as pep assemblies and signs that hang in the halls of CHS.
Supporting other educators is one of her goals. Ms. Travis serves on various committees and helps coordinate professional development for her peers. She utilizes these times to help her peers acclimate and grow. For example, after the walkout, and through the COVID pandemic, she has helped teachers integrate new technology into their instructional process. Both times, she leveraged her peers' experience, strengths, and best practices to create practical, relevant, imaginative, through these sessions.
Ms. Travis concludes that students and colleagues define an excellent educator, "This is where true accountability and effectiveness can be measured."

"I want to show people that you don’t have to be the most popular person, the president of an organization, or a team captain to make a difference. You can change other’s lives without even knowing it. As long as people can see your positivity, tenacity, and your strive for excellence it will be enough to impact someone for the better. "

"High school is the point in your life where your perceptions of the world and your guiding principles truly begin to show you who you are as a person. It’s important to begin channeling your newfound interests and beliefs into positive change in the world as soon as possible, and clubs and extracurriculars do just that."

During Women In History Month, our #MondayMotivation comes from Rosa Parks, Civil Rights Activist & Teacher.
Parks helped initiate the civil rights movement in the United States when she refused to give up her seat to a white man on a Montgomery, Alabama bus in 1955. Her actions inspired the leaders of the local Black community to organize the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

"Leaving a legacy doesn't always mean something big and bold. When thinking of what type of mark I want to leave at CHS, I think of the small things. Picking up a dropped piece of paper, holding the door open for someone, a simple "hello," or just a smile to someone passing by, are the things that come to mind. I know these aren't crazy, extraordinary acts, but I like to think that they can make someone's day better, even if it's for just a second. After my time at CHS, I hope that others continue to demonstrate the same kindness that I have been shown through actions and words."
