Mrs. Cox's Geography class at WRJH made a human timeline today while studying the Russian Revolution.
Using a human timeline explores the 'thinking for yourself' approach to timelines. Students actively involved in engaging their creativity through props, pictures, costumes, which makes this strong visual activity memorable. 'Memorability' is vital - if students don't remember an activity, they can't re-use what they've covered.
The most productive timeline work involves children being physically and mentally engaged. It allows students to use a variety of learning styles to learn dates, places, and events in history.

Are you wondering what we did with those pumpkins WRJH students carried in all last week?
The 6th-grade science classes had a pumpkin lab showing the carrying capacity, limiting factor, and biotic potential of pumpkins.
And got a little messy in the process! This is what we call "hands-on" learning!

Mrs. Ritter's 5th-grade science class at, Catalayah, makes some waves this week. What a fun way to learn the beginning principles of how sound waves have a wavelength. Using jump ropes, students could create a high pitch and low pitch sound wave, allowing them to see, hear, and feel this concept come to life.
Waves are used for many reasons in our society: sonar, reading glasses, light bulbs, stereo equipment, and lasers all rely on either sound or light waves. For engineers to develop new (and already used) technology, they must understand how light and sound waves work and how to use them in new devices.

CPS has produced one astronaut, and we may have some future ones in our midst. In Mrs. Rahn's Exploration class, students are building Mars Rovers and Landers.
Assuming the role of NASA aerospace engineers, they will use the engineering design process to learn steps for designing, creating, and improving equipment. What a creative way to develop an understanding of the role of troubleshooting, research and development, invention and innovation, and experiment in problem-solving for our students.
Upon completion of this project, students will be incorporating their writing skills as they construct an essay for the NASA contest to name the next Mars Rover!
Who knows, maybe one of these students could be the next Stuart Roosa or Shannon Lucid, both astronauts from Oklahoma.

Guest speakers often allow students the opportunity to learn new things, to be exposed to fresh perspectives, and to gain instruction from a guest's real-life experiences. They usually are experts in their field or have more experience in a particular subject, which allows them to dive deeper into their topic.
Claremont had several guest speakers in the building last week. Renetta Harrison educated 4th-grade students on healthy choices. Mr. Tim Gilliam provided students with musical enrichment, and the Claremore Fire Department taught all on fire safety.

At WRJH Mrs. Miller's Art classes, students are assigned a word of the week. After sketching the lettering, the student chose a color for their monochromatic color scheme. Shading each letter in a different media, they experimented with colored pencil, crayon, watercolor, pastel chalk, oil pastel, yarn, ribbon, and fabric. The students then fill the background with complementary colors on the color wheel. Check out our word of the week color chain!
