SEPTEMBER NIE CLASSROOM OF THE MONTH
Oak Crest Elementary
Fourth Grade
Teacher Michelle Stiger
Michelle Stiger’s fourth grade class at Oak Crest Elementary in Broken Arrow enjoyed the OK
Alive serial which ran September 8 through September 10. In this photo, students are showing
how tall the grass would be in a tallgrass prairie by using the newspapers as a measuring device.
If you lay six single pages of the newspaper in a vertical row, they will equal around 10 feet, the height that
prairie grass can grow with sufficient rainfall.
See your classroom here! Enter for the October Classroom of the Month by sending electronic
pictures and a short description of the featured activity using the newspaper to Sara Amberg,
Educational Services Coordinator at sara.amberg@tulsaworld.com. All entries that do not win this month are entered again the next month. Good Luck!
Sponsored by  and the Tulsa World NIE program.
