It's Friday FaVoRiTeS! Mrs. Luginbill has a favorite mug. It changes colors with hot liquids and reveals the fate of each of Henry VIII's wives. It's really cool! Every time she drinks from it while on cafeteria duty, at least one student asks if it is a picture of Coach Weber (which always makes her chuckle). It was a Christmas gift from Mrs. Bopp. Her other favorite thing is her family! ♥ #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Mr. Lyles 8th grade students are leaving their mark - on his wall! They've painted a beautiful world map on the classroom wall, leaving a lasting impression and a reminder of their time at Will Rogers Junior High. What a great way to remember your students, Mr. Lyles! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

A few more "FUN' pics for our FUN day! Thanks again to our PTO for not only setting up and providing the games, dunk tank, and concession items, but for volunteering and working! We appreciate you! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Fun pics of our FUN day! Our students had an absolute blast during our fun-filled day where they got to enjoy all kinds of different activities. Students took turns playing games and dunking some of our brave teachers who stepped up to the dunk tank, providing students with the unforgettable opportunity to make a splash and send their teachers plunging into the water! Students also got sweet treats and sno-cones from our concession. We are grateful to everyone who contributed to the success of this event and, most importantly, for making it a truly fun day for our students! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Students in Mrs. Rahn’s STEM class had to plan, design, build and test a lunar lander that carried a rover with a payload of an “Eggstronaut” all while staying within a budget. Each straw, plastic bottle or piece of tape had a cost. The winning team’s egg survived the drop and rolled the furthest while spending the least amount of money! They learned that engineers must stay within a budget! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Attention everyone, we have an exciting update from Dr. Young's 8th-grade class! After enjoying both the movie adaptation and the original novel of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, these creative students celebrated the end of the school year by channeling their inner recipe developers for none other than the iconic Mr. Willy Wonka himself! The entire classroom was ready to make these yummy ice cream sundae recipes, which they later enjoyed while fondly sharing memories of their memorable middle school experiences. What a delicious and heartwarming way to mark this milestone in their academic journey! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Mrs. Rahn’s 6th grade robotics class partnered with the Catalayah STEM club to tour Claremore’s Rye Design automation & robotics business. The owners Andy & Sarah Fiegener showed students the process of building a robot from conception to the finished product. Afterwards we visited the Claremore Museum of History to learn about Stuart Roosa and play on the rocket ship playground! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Our final PLC of the year was Friday, May 17th. And this was more about fun and commemorating the school year than planning and preparing! Teachers got to enjoy an afternoon snack and dessert while telling their favorite memory of the school year! What a great way to end the school year! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Our 8th grade students engaged in an exciting collaborative project with their teachers. Teachers worked together to challenge their 3rd hour students. The task at hand: forming teams to design and build the tallest freestanding structure within a single class period! Each teacher pair supervised their teams of young visionaries as they created freestanding structures using spaghetti noodles, marshmallows of various sizes, yarn, and masking tape. Their shared goal: to create the largest and most impressive structure that could stand on its own. It was a day filled with creativity, teamwork, and hands-on learning. Great job to all the participants, and a special thanks to our 8th grade teachers for organizing this challenge! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
