Roosa Elementary

#ROOSASTAFFSPOTLIGHT Dr. Barbara Crisp - I attended Broken Arrow High School, and 5 colleges: RSU - Associate Degree, NSU - Bachelor Degree, Kaplan University - Master's Degree, Grand Canyon University - Doctoral Degree, Southern Nazarene University - Postdoctoral Studies (because I never stop learning). This is my 1st year at Roosa, I teach 5th grade. I enjoy when a struggling learner identifies "YES, he or she can!" when paired with a caring, student-centered, instructional facilitator who refuses to let a learner give up or not try. I have three grown children, two of which are educators, and one who took her dad's route in business. I also have two amazing grandchildren. My husband is truly my inspiration to reach for the stars, never give up on my dreams, and always live my life through the eyes of God, rather than my own. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Wednesday Walking PALs is a "walking school bus" and we invite your Roosa student to participate. Much like you would drop your student off at the bus stop, in this case you would drop him or her off at the designated meeting spot. And they walk with other students and adult PAL mentors a few blocks to school. The meeting place is the east end of the St Cecilia Catholic Church parking lot on Sioux street. The groups meet at 7:15 am on Wednesday mornings and begin walking by 7:25 which gets the kids to school in time for breakfast. To enroll your student for the Fall session which begins September 8th, please pick up a form in the school office. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

PLC Day for Teachers = EARLY RELEASE for students today. 🕑 Elementary @ 2:00 PM 🕝 WRJH / CHS @ 2:30 PM #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

5th grade is studying the grueling voyage from England to Jamestown. One of the many hardships during the the month voyage was the lack of fresh water and food on the ships so a meal could consist of a dried cracker type food, hardtack and dried meat. The 5th grade classes at Roosa were trying out what that would be like, WITHOUT taking a drink of water. The students had four unsalted saltines and some beef jerky. The activity was a great way to understand what the colonists had to endure. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

In honor of the Labor Day holiday, CPS will be closed on Monday, September 6th. Labor Day pays tribute to the contributions and achievements of American workers. It was created by the labor movement in the late 19th century and became a federal holiday in 1894. This weekend, as we spend time with our families and friends, celebrate the value of an honest day’s work, the people who built America, and our nation’s advancements because of the American labor force. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE #StaySafeToStayInSchool

Roosa is excited to announce the start of Fun Fitness Fridays 🏃👟 beginning October 1st. Fun Fitness Fridays will take place at school during your child's specials hour. Fun Fitness Fridays will be for grades Kdg - 5th and will be in place of "Running Club''. Our goal is to have Fitness Fridays twice a month. This will be a time where students will have the opportunity to run/walk, teaching students about the importance of incorporating fun ways to stay active and healthy. Miles will be logged with a program called Fitness Finders, using technology to log laps in an EZ Scan app. Students will have the opportunity to compete with their classmates and other grade levels during their specials time. There will not be a cost to participate, however we will have a t-shirt available for purchase to defray some of the cost for the Fitness Finders program. The specials team is so excited about the start of Fun Fitness Fridays in October! Please be on the lookout for more information to come. Thank you for your continued support.
