Roosa Elementary

Earlier this month, Mr. Page from the fire department stopped by Roosa Elementary to show students what firemen gear. 1st grade teacher, Mrs. Greggs showed students how firemen put on their personal fire gear. Did you know that firefighters wear pants and jackets made of a two-layer fabric designed to repel heat? Thank you, Mr. Page and Mrs. Greggs for promoting Fire Prevention Week! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Everyday is Principal Appreciation day at Roosa! Mrs. Willard stopped by Mrs. Riggs' class and got the best hugs ever! We love Principal Willard! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Mrs. Page’s 1st grade class enjoyed their read aloud time with the book Stellaluna by Janell Cannon. The class received 100 compliments and earned a Pajama Day! Way to go Mrs. Page’s class! #CPSEZBRAPRIDE

In Miss Bart’s 5th grade class they brought real-world applications into the classroom today! Students had the opportunity to visit the Safari Restaurant. They were given a menu and decided on an appetizer, an entrée and a drink for them and a friend, and a dessert. They found the total of their meal, added in a tip, and found if their meal or their friend's meal was more expensive. We ended the activity with a snack at the Restaurant. What a fun way to round out our adding and subtracting decimals unit! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

This is National School Bus Safety Week. According to School bus Fleet, in the 2018-19 school year, an estimated 479,867 yellow school buses provided daily transportation to students in the United States. More than 25 million children ride school buses daily throughout the United States. That accounts for 47,000,000 trips daily – before you include an estimated 5,000,000 more for activity trips. Roughly 54% of all K-12 students in the United States rely on school bus transportation. National School Bus Safety Week reminds students, parents, teachers, and the community to keep school bus safety at the forefront. Let’s work together to protect our children and zero in on bus safety.

Learning about bones, muscles, healthy eating, playing as a team and physical activities are just a few of the lessons students learn in P.E. classes with Coach Johnson. Thank you Coach Johhson for all you do to make Roosa Elementary fun while learning! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

The Claremore Fire Department helped Roosa Elementary celebrate 🔥🚒Fire Prevention Week🔥🚒. They told students how to prevent and escape a fire. The Firemen showed students about Stop, Drop & Roll, and to get low when there is smoke. The MOST important thing they taught students is that all families need to have a “Meeting Place” located outside such as a mailbox or tree away from the house. The “Meeting Place” is where everyone in the family goes in case of fire. This helps everyone to be safe. Let’s give a round of applause to these firemen! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
