I found my way on down the hall To second grade rooms but I had a quick fall Right into Mrs. Beasley's large craft trash can With a little assistance, I got out and ran Right over to McCracken's room real fast To find her elf upside down on a mast After the blood went back down to my toes I went to check Casey's elf's pose He was last minute shopping for Christmas toys So I got his prime password and got gifts for my boys Bennett had lots of books on her shelf So I cleared them cause duh this shelf needed an elf Can't wait to come back tomorrow and play In the gym, I got air and tried a dunk shot But into the net, my finger got caught In music, I joined the choir in song Singing my fav. I could go all day long Bonham and Hanson had the best spot To relax and unwind... I've been working a lot Can't wait to get back to the big guy and say All the great things I have seen today!

Thank you to Elizabeth Jean Salon for joining us on our quest to raise money for Zebras United Against Cancer. They did a drawing for a basket from community stores and raised $260 for the cause. "Instead of sending it to a national organization they choose to support ZUAC because it stayed in Claremore and directly benefited individuals in our Zebra Family." - Kristin Sanders Roseberry #CPSZEBRAPRIDE #StrongSchoolsStrongCommunityZebraStrong #ZebrasUnitedAgainstCancer

Can you design a system that will protect an egg from a fall? That's an Egg Drop Project! Our 8th grade Science classes are trying this experiment. Students try to build a structure that will prevent a raw egg from breaking when dropped from a certain height. When creating this, they must attempt a design that would reduce the amount of energy transferred from potential to kinetic energy on the eggshell, keeping the shell from breaking. Mrs. Dixon's class had two successful egg drops and lots that weren't so successful! How many of you remember if your egg cracked or stayed safe? #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
