Mrs. Riggs Kindergarten class spent time this week studying the author & illustrator Eric Carle and his unique collage art style! They were able to paint beautiful paper using interesting tools such as combs, cars, sponges, film canisters, etc. When their papers were dry they designed and created some very colorful collage art pictures! Here are some of their masterpieces!
In Mrs. Rippy's Kindergarten class learning is not boring! Students are learning math skills such as how to count, compare and understand addition. They have a hot cocoa learning center equipped with cups and cotton balls for marshmallows. Keep counting Little Zebras! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
Mrs. Hendrickson - Roosa Paraprofessional - #ROOSASTAFFSPOTLIGHT I'm a Claremore graduate who has studied at both OU and RSU and have been at Roosa for 10 years. I am a para for 4th and 5th grade and absolutely love what I do! I enjoy so many aspects of my job from the great team I'm surrounded by to the students that teach me just as much as I (hopefully, lol) teach them. They definitely keep things interesting and full of love every day! I adore working with kids and getting to be any part of their "Aha!" moment.
I have been married to my husband, Troy for almost 11 years and have two boys: Ayden, who is finishing his junior year at CHS, and Gabe who is finishing up 8th grade. We have two cats, Zelda and Harry (and two more from somewhere in the neighborhood that like to come and hang out on our front porch every evening). I've been so lucky in life to be brought up by two genuinely awesome parents, encountered some amazingly encouraging teachers, and have some of the best friends and colleagues anyone could ask for - so many sources to draw inspiration from!

Mrs. Devers' class likes to play Tensie, a fast-paced dice game which focuses on number subitizing (identifying the number in a set by looking quickly instead of actually counting it), and hand/eye coordination. They love a bit of friendly competition while practicing life skills! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
