1st grade asked the question, will Pumpkin Jack sink or float? They discussed the hypothesis and created an experiment to prove it to be true or false. The outcome was it floats! Some students asked if they brought the pumpkin outside would the outcome be the same? They brought the pumpkin outside and the hypothesis turned out to be the same and led to some great thoughts about the air inside the pumpkin. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
Miss Bart’s 5th grade Math class had a “Safari Restaurant '' where they added decimals in real life situations. Students were given menus with prices.

Education spans far more than what a teacher teaches from the board. Mrs. LaValley’s 2nd grade class took ownership of their own learning by reading books on their level during “cookie bookie”. This activity requires students to select books in their range, find a spot around the room that meets their learning style, and enjoy cookies while they read. Students stay engaged and focused on what they are reading when their needs are met academically, environmentally, and socially. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
Chiari Awareness - Chiari is a serious neurological disorder where the bottom part of the brain, the cerebellum, descends out of the skull and crowds the spinal cord, putting pressure on both the brain and spine causing many symptoms.

Cindy Boman #ROOSASTAFFSPOTLIGHT 3rd Grade Teacher. I have 3 children and one absolutely adorable grandson who just turned 1! I graduated from Owasso High School. I received my B.S.Ed in Early Childhood Education from NSU Tahlequah; and I received my M.Ed in Early Childhood Ed from NSU Broken Arrow. This is my 23rd year in education, but my 1st year at Roosa Elementary and my first year working in the Claremore Public School system. I always knew I wanted to be a teacher! I had an amazing 1st grade teacher, Mrs. Jackson, and I wanted to be a teacher just like her. The part of teaching I enjoy the most is making connections with my students. I am a 'people person' so I enjoy building relationships with my students. One of the most influential people in my life was my grandmother - Meme Smith. She was the epitome of everything good and right.....kindness, gentleness, honesty, integrity, patience, self control and compassion. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
