My name is Amy Hong Li and I teach Pre-K. I have been in education for 2 years in America, both of those being with CPS. I attended Northeastern State University where I received a Masters degree. I am married and have a daughter. We also have a dog, Moses, who is a misbehaved child, but we love him very much. I enjoy exercising and cooking for my family. I love Claremont because it is a big loving family. The staff work together for the best of their students and families.

On this #wellnesswednesday, we recognize that kids should practice self-care, too! These are some great suggestions to keep in mind when you notice that your child is struggling. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE (image via @CASofHamilton)

On Tuesday we celebrated that reading is fun by dressing in fun socks, clothes and hats. Here, Mrs. Ward's class shows off their fun socks! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

THEIR FIGHT IS OUR FIGHT Cancer may feel like someone else's fight if you have not experienced it in your own life. But CHS has decided THEIR FIGHT IS OUR FIGHT! Over the past four years, the ZUAC (Zebras United Against Cancer) Committee has helped raise over 9K to help our ZEBRA family members fighting this disease directly. We have supported students & employees with Lymphoma, Prostate Cancer, Leukemia, Ewings Sarcoma, Breast Cancer, & Pancreatic Cancer in our elementary schools, our junior high, and our high school. We have experienced this disease as a family district-wide. This is why our theme this year is "THEIR FIGHT IS OUR FIGHT" because family takes care of family. Although all our clubs contribute to the fundraising, the ZUAC t-shirt sales are the largest part of our efforts. We hope you will be a part of showing our #CPSZEBRPRIDE and giving hope to our ZEBRA family members.

Today is National Read Across America Day! Read Across America Day was created by the National Education Association as a reading initiative to celebrate reading. There are several ways to celebrate Read Across America Day - we shared our favorites below. -Pick up an interesting book and read it. -More importantly, read with a child. -Join your library. -Read a book you’ve been meaning to read. -Read a book you’ve read before. You may discover that it has new meaning to you since you last read it. -Try reading aloud, even if it is just to yourself. It will make great practice for reading to children. (Hint, hint.) #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

In celebration of Read Across America Week, our librarian Mrs. Troyer is hosting DEAR time in her library for 2nd-5th grade students. DEAR stands for Drop Everything And Read. Here, several 5th graders "stretched out" in the library and spent time reading their library books. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
