Cowboy Bart came to Catalayah this week!! He talked about Will Rogers and his life in Claremore, showed us some really cool rope tricks and also talked to us about the diorama contest.
We are getting ready for the 4th annual Will Rogers Diorama Contest! Starting now through February 9th, we are asking 3rd graders to learn about Will Rogers and be inspired to create your own Dioramas!
Make sure to return your completed projects to your school by no later than February 9th. Diorama's will be displayed and voted at the Will Rogers Memorial through February and March so make sure you bring your friends and family by to vote! Voting will end March 15th and winners will be announced March 17th at 3pm at the Mid-Afternoon Frolic Talent Show held at the Will Rogers Memorial Museum.

Mrs. Newman’s class took some time to share what they did during the Holiday Break. After their turn to share they passed the yarn. They couldn’t let go because it takes all of them to work together as a team.

I sure hope Santa didn’t get stuck in your chimney, but if he did our first graders gave us ideas how to get him out!!
The first graders also explained to us why they would be a good Santa. They have been doing such a great job on their writing assignments.
#CPSZEBRAPRIDE
How cool are these!!! Mrs. Coffey taught her students about positive and negative mirror images!!
The student draws a shape touching the edge of the paper & cuts it out. The actual shape itself is the positive space, while the space created where the space was, is the negative.
Students then chose a contrasting paper to glue the two pieces of paper. They really enjoyed coming up with designs & colors.
