John Rex Charter Schools

Earlier this week, our Pre-K class read The Gingerbread Man and talked about how he gets stuck at the river with a sneaky fox waiting for him. The students thought he deserved a safer escape route, so we designed boats from recyclable materials and tested them out. Lots of giggles and creative ideas filled our room!

John Rex Junior High hosted a high school expo for our 8th grade students to meet and learn from OKC area high schools. Our families met with: Classen School of Advanced Studies Harding Fine Arts Academy Cristo Rey Catholic High School Belle Isle Enterprise High School Santa Fe South Pathways Middle College First Choice Online Academy

Today our 3rd graders took part in a Balloon-Over-Broadway gallery walk, celebrating each other’s creativity and cheering one another on. 🥰🎈 Watching them lift each other up was the perfect reminder of what this season is all about—gratitude, kindness, and community. Wishing all of our families a warm and happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🍁

These little learners make every day something to be thankful for! 🧡

Today, our 8th grade students participated in our class NBA Math Hoops Draft! NBA Math Hoops is a board game that incorporates real life NBA and WNBA stats along with some basic math fluency skills. Today, each student team "drafted" their 5 NBA/WNBA players to make up their team for the season! We celebrated with snacks (mostly spicy chips, because they're middle schoolers haha) and wearing our favorite jerseys!

In November, our Rockets were very busy in Spanish class learning about Día de los Muertos. They learned how Mexico and Guatemala celebrate this beautiful tradition, and we also set up an Altar in our room to remember and honor our loved ones. 1st Grade: Learned about the Giant Kites Festival in Guatemala and made their own kites. 2nd Grade: Created mini-books about the holiday. 3rd Grade: Learned about the symbol of La Catrina. 4th Grade: Tried pan de muerto and made origami altars. 5th & 6th Grade: Researched the elements of the altar, made posters, and presented their work.

Our Lost and Found is piling up :) Each of our campuses has items ready to be picked up. If you have time, stop by before break and pick up your missing items. This is also a reminder to use a sharpie and add student names to the tag :)

Happy Superintendent's Day to the best of the best! Thanks for guiding us, cheering for us, and making every day a little brighter for our staff and students! We ❤️ you!

Thunder Up! 💙 Our 4th graders had an amazing time at Thunder Blue Field Trip Day! From walking through downtown OKC and practicing life skills like teamwork, safety, and responsibility, to cheering on the team and writing heartfelt thank-you letters afterward. It was a day full of learning, laughter, and life lessons on and off the court! 🏀💙

Today we celebrated Veterans Day by writing letters to our heroes! We are so thankful for the brave men and women who serve our country and keep us safe. 🇺🇸

Happy Veterans Day to all who have served! Here are a few Veterans who are friends/family of Miss Basinger's class.

Kindergarten is saying a big "Thank You" to veterans by writing cards to let them know we appreciate their service to our country!

Kindergarten’s City Bus Visit! 🚌 Our kindergarteners love spotting the city bus driving around downtown, so we were extra excited to invite the team out for a visit! They taught us all about how city buses help people in our community get where they need to go. We loved learning about the important role they play in keeping our city connected!

Our Pre-K friends are soaking up the sunshine and storytime fun at the Myriad Gardens!

Party days are always a hit!

Pooh said it best.. Any day spent with you is my favorite day! Third grade is the sweetest! 🍯

Dreaming of of a cozy Pajama Day and racing you to Nap TIme! 😴

Our Pre-K friends were so excited for our first walk to the Downtown Library!
