It's important to ensure that our families are prepared for winter weather as we prepare to return to school. To help with this, we have compiled a list of frequently asked questions about winter weather and school. These include questions such as how and when we will be notified about any weather-related changes to school schedules. For more information, visit https://www.claremore.k12.ok.us/article/643291.
Mrs. Griffin took her 1st grade WIN groups around the world to find out how different countries celebrate the holidays.
They visited Mexico, Brazil, England, France, Germany, Ethiopia, Kenya, China, and Australia. They all got their passports stamped when "visiting" each country, and made notes in their scrapbook. At the end of their unit, they talked about how they celebrate at their homes. Then they talked about how people are a lot alike throughout the world! The kids enjoyed this lesson, but Mrs. Griffin says she learned so much as well.
For their activities, Mrs. Griffin had the kids design clothing for Santa to wear in Australia...he changes his clothes when he gets there because it is summer! And in Kenya, they decorate with paper decorations and balloons. Kids said "like a birthday party!" So they made paper decorations. They also made Christmas Crackers when studying England.

Mrs. Roller's class spent some time planning and designing an Elf trap after we read "How to Catch an Elf."
They actually built it and they caught Mrs. Ward's class elf, Cristina!! Our Elf was listening while they built so he didn't get tricked!

Did you hear what happened at Catalayah this week???
The Grinch was up to some suspicious behavior.
1: things started to disappear from the classroom for a few days
2: the kids started a suspect list that included Mrs. McComb, Mrs Shuck and several others around the school. They filed a “police report” with Officer Hagen
3: they interviewed all the suspects trying to figure out if it was them or not
4: security cameras!!!! He was caught in action one evening taking said items
5: Officer Hagen didn’t not let this case go. He and Officer Turman found the Grinch and sentenced him to community service and he had to apologize and return all the items.
Case Solved!!!!!

Our 5th graders got to attend BizTown this week!!
JA BizTown combines in-class learning with a day-long visit to a simulated town. This popular learning experience allows elementary school students to operate banks, manage restaurants, write checks, and vote for mayor.
Biztown is something the students prepare for and learn about for weeks before they get to go. They have to apply for their job, go through the interview process, the students that run for Mayor have a chance to give their speeches and the rest of the 5th grade votes for Mayor.
It is such fun experience for the students. We appreciate all the parent volunteers that came to help.
