Our GEAR UP representatives are meeting with CHS seniors that intend to enroll at RSU about the Connect U event coming up in April. CONNECT U is a program designed specifically to help high school seniors with the college enrollment process. CONNECT U helps ease the transition to college by providing tools needed for the first day of school. Thursday, April 2, current CHS seniors that have been accepted into Rogers State University will participate in this exclusive event. The day-long activities will include: touring the college campus, enrolling for the fall semester with priority as a GEAR UP student, getting a college ID, discussing financial aid opportunities, finalizing housing for the fall, and completing their placement testing. Students need to bring the following: a photo ID or driver's license, a final transcript, and current health records. Seniors accepted to or in the process of being accepted to RSU feel free to talk to one of our GEAR UP staff members.

Seniors may act like they're too cool to make giant compound sentences with appropriate conjunctions and punctuation, but they secretly enjoy it. Mrs. Jill Andrews' class broke into small groups and had a competition to see who could make the longest compound-complex sentence with correct punctuation, of course. First place was 22 clauses. Second place was 21 clauses. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Their hard work paid off; now they are cemented as the best of the best in the state. Congratulations to all of the All-State Choir members from Claremore High School.

Mrs. Williams is currently teaching her CHS Art I class the grid method for drawing in proportion. This method is a gentle push into helping beginner artists look at comparing measurements and identifying relationships between the different aspects/features of a subject. For example, one corner of the mouth may be slightly higher than the other; the shape of one nostril might be slightly more triangular than the other. "I have a great group of Art I kids; they are working hard to make their portraits as accurate as they can," Mrs. Williams told us. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Students were tasked with creating an image made entirely from pieces of functions and equations that they would write themselves. Function types include polynomial, absolute value, radical, rational, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric, conic, etc. Working through this process helps students build functional fluency, as well as, familiarity with domain restrictions - both are integral for success in a calculus course. Students were required to meet certain criteria; many of them went above and beyond to create what they had envisioned. Some, using over 100 equations to produce their art." #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
