1st grade students participate in small groups with their teachers.
Small group instruction allows teachers to work more closely with their students, providing the opportunity to evaluate students' learning strengths, locate gaps in the development of their reading or math skills and tailor lessons focused on specific learning objectives.

"Involvement in the arts is associated with gains in math, reading, cognitive ability, critical thinking, and verbal skill. Arts learning can also improve motivation, concentration, confidence, and teamwork." (edutopia.org)
We believe that the arts are critical to the development of our students! We are thankful to have an art teacher who truly loves what she does, and who inspires creativity in our students!

My name is Jamie Massey. I have been in education for 16 years, and 11 of those have been with CPS.
I attended Northeastern State University.
I am married to Steve, who is the Rogers County Deputy Directory of Emergency Management. I have two children, and two grandchildren.
My hobbies include traveling, spending time with friends/family, baking, early American history, crafts, antique shopping, and educational neuroscience.
My favorite quote is:
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
