National Cuddle Up Day falls on January 6 for a very important reason. Since January has some of the coldest temperatures of the year, it’s a great excuse to warm up by cuddling! Mrs. Kropp and her class celebrated by cuddling up with a book, blanket and hot cocoa. https://nationaltoday.com/national-cuddle-up-day/

Mrs. Howard’s class participated in the monthly Devon Thunder Explorer activity, designed to promote STEM concepts through activities. Last month, Mrs. Howard did “If the Shoe Fits” activity with her 4th grade students. Students were to trace, draw and label each part of the foot. Then create a shoe with different materials. 👞👟🥿 Mrs. Howard only had only cardboard, hot glue, tape, felt, yarn and paint to create their shoes. Her students went to work! Mrs. Howard received a call today that they won $500 to be spent in the classroom! Way to go Roosa 4th grade!!!

A picture is worth a thousand words. We hear it all the time. It can be especially helpful when communicating in our digital world to show a picture of something rather than typing it out. Or, maybe there is a certain point to be made by saving a portion of what is on the computer screen. Using the Windows Snip & Sketch application will help accomplish that.
This #TechTipTuesday will demonstrate the many ways Microsoft’s Snip & Sketch can be used to capture images of what is on a computer screen and shared, posted, or saved for later reference.

Good afternoon, these past few weeks have been an excellent respite for our Zebra families, but we are now ready to embrace the educational opportunities 2021 will bring. Tomorrow, Jan. 4th, classes will resume at their regularly scheduled time at all our sites.
We will continue to implement our COVID protocols: wear a mask, watch our social distancing, and frequently wash hands . Please come prepared with the mask that was provided at the beginning of the year or a personal one.
As we continue to mitigate the COVID-19 virus, we ask you, please stay home and contact your principal immediately if you have any of the following within the last week:
1. have been in direct contact with a COVID case,
2. had a positive test within the 10 days
3. are waiting on the results of a COVID test, or
4. are showing any symptoms.
We look forward to the lightbulb moments, personal growth, and all our Zebras filling up the halls with the laughter, chatter, and smiles they bring with them.
Mrs. Riggs's Kindergarten class drew pictures on dry erase boards at Center Time. They could not mask their excitement! 😷 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
Staff Shout Out to Mrs. Rumsey, Kindergarten Teacher - Teaching is my calling. Working with children to instill a love of learning and teaching them to be kind is a ministry for me. I went to school in Claremore and had fabulous teachers that spoke into my life and I wanted to give back to a community that has been so good to me. #ROOSASTAFFSPOTLIGHT #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Can a virtual classroom have a class party? YES! Mrs. Smith's virtual class held their class party last week. The students each received a Party in a Bag with various items including Snow Soup - Hot chocolate and marshmallows. ❆☕ The bags were delivered to the students a few days before the party. A Google Meet was scheduled and everyone opened their bags at the same time. Parents had the hot water ready for the Snow Soup and students enjoyed the time together. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Staff Spotlight is on Mrs. Devers - 2nd grade teacher. This is my tenth year to teach 2nd grade at Roosa and I can't imagine doing anything else! I have a nine month old little boy who is my whole world. Baby Luke is a celebrity in our classroom! I was the 2015 Roosa Teacher of the Year and I am so grateful for that honor. To me, teaching is so much more than what is found in the curriculum. Teaching is a chance for me to make a difference every day and I don't take this opportunity for granted. #ROOSASTAFFSPOTLIGHT #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
Thank you Hillcrest Hospital for providing the Roosa Staff a Steak Lunch today! We truly appreciate that! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
Santa stopped by today to see who has been naughty and nice. The Roosa Staff took a few minutes after their meetings to talk to Santa about all the excellent students at Roosa Elementary. First Presbyterian Church brought cupcakes for the staff to enjoy. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
Fridays with Frazier moves from COVID and computers to the magic that happens in the classroom.
This week we feature Mrs. Laurie Titsworth’s Pre-K class at Westside Elementary School, where they incorporated the magic of the season to teach letters, sounds, reinforce colors, introduce graphing, all tied together with a bow and a book.
