🏃 Claremore Crayon Run to Benefit All Claremore Public Schools This Year 🏃 The Claremore Public Schools Foundation is bringing the Claremore Crayon Run back to Claremore Lake, Saturday, April 25, 2020. Fun Run and 5K registration includes race (timed in 5K), t-shirt, finisher medal, and end of race color celebration! Sound familiar? Claremont Elementary has been putting on the Crayon Run for the past six years. "Claremont approached the foundation with the idea to improve the event by having it benefit all of CPS schools, including Claremont," Randa Fay, Claremont Principal. "It is such a successful yet labor intensive event. Having the foundation join forces to make this event bigger and better just makes sense. " Stay tuned for more information by following CPSF on Facebook, www.facebook.com/ClaremorePublicSchoolsFoundation/, or visiting the CPSF website, http://www.claremorepublicschoolsfoundation.org/, or by emailing or calling the CPSF office at foundation@claremore.k12.ok.us or 918-923-4308. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Throughout the 5th grade hot air balloon project, students were learning the science behind hot air balloons. Warmer air rises in cooler air; more specifically, hot air is lighter (and less dense) than cold air because hot air has less mass per unit volume. They were also learning that all matter takes up space, even if the matter is too small to be seen with their eyes. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

4th grade was given "Play Money" and the task to make a volcano with supplies they bought from the class Store Mart. The students had to prove their math to include addition and subtraction for their purchases and change given. Then they put the information into the class register. They then created their volcanoes using the supplies bought. Using baking soda and vinegar they watched their volcanoes erupt! They wrote a narrative about the results. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
