🚨🐛 Oh no!!! Fred the Worm was in trouble!!! His boat capsized and his life preserver was stuck underneath. Luckily, Mrs. Ritter’s 5th graders came to the rescue! Using only paperclips, teams worked together to Save Fred—and they did an AMAZING job! 🙌
We love how this lesson builds teamwork, problem-solving, and plenty of giggles. Way to go, 5th grade!

Mrs. Douthitt’s kindergarteners had a magical time playing the Magic Triad game! This fun activity helps our youngest learners practice using kind words, good manners, and showing respect to others. 🌟
We love seeing big lessons taught in playful ways—these kiddos are already shining bright in kindergarten! Along with the triad game they also enjoyed exploring the classroom centers.

Don't forget about the PTO meeting on Wednesday. 3:30 in the cafeteria.

📏 Mrs. Ritter’s 5th grade math students have already been hard at work! They kicked things off by using yardsticks and meter sticks to measure just how tall 5th graders really are. Hands-on math is the best kind of math, and we love seeing the excitement in her classroom! 👏
🐛 Next up—stay tuned to see their next adventure… Saving Fred! 🛟

As a reminder for tomorrow's first day, the No Cell Bell to Bell law will be in effect when the first bell rings.
Earlier this year, the Oklahoma Legislature passed a new law requiring all public schools to become “cell phone-free zones” during school hours. In compliance, the Claremore Public Schools Board of Education has officially adopted a local policy to guide implementation across the district.
