Mrs. James Candy Corn Experiment: Students hypothesize what will happen to candy corn when it is placed in four solutions (water, water/vinegar, water/baking soda, and saltwater). Next, they test their hypothesis and document their results. Finally, students summarize what happened to each piece of candy corn. All while wearing their Halloween costumes!

Staff spotlight on Mr. Gash:
My name is Grant Gash and I grew up in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Woo Pig! I graduated from the University of Arkansas-Fort Smith with a degree in accounting, but realized very quickly that I was called to teach and coach. I spent last year at Bixby before coming over to Claremore this year! I teach 7th grade math and coach 8th grade boys basketball. When I’m not in my classroom, I’m usually in front of a TV, watching whatever game is on that night. I chose Claremore because I know I matter to the success of our school and our students and it felt like the right fit.
Go Zebras!

Staff spotlight on Ms. Blankenship:
My name is Mikayla Blankenship. I graduated from Oologah-Talala Public Schools in 2014 and then moved to Missouri where I gained a Bachelor's in Early Childhood and Elementary Education with a minor in Children's Ministry from Evangel University in 2017. This is my 3rd school year teaching, but my first in a junior high setting. I loved English as a student and I am enjoying teaching it now! Teaching in a school that values students and families is important to me and I'm so glad that I made the choice to join the WRJH family!

Staff Spotlight on Miss. Cox:
My name is Rachel Cox. I was born and raised in Skiatook, Oklahoma and graduated from Skiatook High School. I attended Oklahoma State University (go pokes!) where I played the clarinet in the Cowboy Marching Band. After graduating from OSU, I began searching for a place to start my teaching career. I knew that I wanted to stay in Oklahoma and close to home, and I was blessed to be presented with the opportunity to teach in Claremore. This is my first year teaching 7th Grade Geography, and I chose WRJH because I love the positive environment and commitment to providing the best education for all students. I could not have asked for a better place to start my teaching career and I’m proud to be a Zebra!

Some of our teachers and Mrs. Bopp traveled to San Antonio last week to attend the PLC @ Work Institute. They were attending sessions on grading practices, school climate and culture. The PLC (Professional Learning Community) also focuses on effective collaboration between teachers to improve student learning. They are excited to share all the wonderful things they have learned with their colleagues.

Oh Deer is the name of the game. The students learn about some of the limiting factors deer come across. Students are either deer or a resource (food water or shelter). The deer have to choose a resource that they need to survive for that round. If they can find a matching resource they are able to live for another round but if the resource they need is not available then that student then turns into a resource for the following round.
