Roosa Elementary

For all you "planners" out there... the CPS Academic Calendar for 2021-22 has been approved by the Board of Education. It goes without saying, but just in case, this is official unless we have any unforeseen situations come up in the future. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE https://www.claremore.k12.ok.us/page/academic-calendars

Mrs. Brasher's 3rd Grade class meet today to learn about idioms. The class can now say that "Having Cold Feet" during this winter weather will not "Stir Up A Hornet's Nest" in their learning about idioms. Because idioms are a "Piece of Cake" #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Roosa first grade made 100th Day Trail Mix snack on Virtual Learning today. Their assignment was to find 10 random items in their pantry, grab 10 of each item while counting by 10. A fun way to count to 100 by 10! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

In 5th grade they hit their 1,000th day of school- so, we are writing 20 words for different categories- Adverbs, nouns, holidays, boy names, math terms, science terms, ocean words, girl names, video game names, etc... so, their assignment is to work alone, in groups, with their family, however to see if they can come up with a total of 1,000 words. If you count from K thru 5th grade it isn’t their 100th day it is their 1,000 day... #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Due to the icy conditions, CPS will continue Distance Learning, Thursday, February 11th & Friday, February 12th. Additionally, the child nutrition team will not distribute meals this week. Check in to your Google Classrooms and follow the instructions. Your teachers are working from home and are available to assist you. There will be no after school activities, including athletic practices or games. We will post updates on the CPS communication platforms. If you have not downloaded our CPS App on your phone, we suggest doing that to receive the most updated information. It's available through the Apple Store & Google Play for free. Be safe, stay warm, make a memory, and remember it's A Great Day to be a Zebra. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Today Roosa Kindergarten celebrated Groundhog Day! We learned that Punxsutawney Phil DID see his shadow and we will have six more weeks of winter! They listened to a funny story called "Ten Grouchy Groundhogs" and colored a picture of Punxsutawney Phil! Then worked on a sentence that said "Will he see his shadow?" We wish Phil would have NOT seen his shadow but had fun learning about him anyway :-) #GROUNDHOGDAY #PUNXSUTAWNEYPHIL #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

It is important to keep our kids safe while online, and Claremore Public Schools is committed to providing software for our devices and resources for our parents. We have partnered with FamilyZoneUSA to ensure students’ cyber safety at school and at home. This #TechTipTuesday will show parents how to set up an account with FamilyZone and obtain the instructions on how to setup FamilyZone on all personal electronic devices that are not school-issued. https://youtu.be/Pi0u67bpoAk #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Mrs. Page received an ipad grant and had this to say: "I adore the IPad grant I received and the blessing it has been this year especially! My First Graders at Roosa Elementary use them daily and this slide show is only a small piece of what their iPads mean to my students. These iPads have allowed them to escape the captivity of COVID and let their minds explore new places through virtual field trips. Students respond to technology in the classroom with ease and enjoyment. These iPads have provided an enhancement of learning in my classroom this year. Thank you CPSF for making this dream come true!" Here is a link to a video she made: https://youtu.be/IPj84mWzmvM #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Roosa Kindergarten students had a "blast" today studying about our schools namesake Stuart A. Roosa, Apollo 14 command module pilot, and his travels into space! We had a lot of fun putting planets in order, labeling space objects, rolling and graphing with space dice, writing the room looking for space pictures and putting together puzzles about planets and a 5 foot rocket ship! We might have some future astronauts right in our own school :-) #STUARTROOSADAY #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Kaitlyn Rodwell from the Claremore Museum of History stopped by and shared historical facts about Stuart Roosa with the Roosa 5th graders. She brought a star chart that Stuart Roosa used as map to moon. Students also saw a model of the space ship used by Stuart Roosa. #STUARTROOSADAY #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
