We've got another winter weather challenge for our Zebra families. Let's make some Ice Marbles.
Put a few drops of food coloring or Kool-aid powder into a balloon then fill with water. Place outside and let it freeze. Depending on how big the balloons are and how cold it is, this will take about 24 hours. Hold them up to the light to see if they are frozen all the way through.
Join Finley, Alayna & Brecken from Westside and submit your photos in the comments of the CPS FB page.

When it’s too cold to go outside, bring the snow IN! One of our students had the best idea today and brought the snow inside to play! Now, that’s how to play in the snow!

Kindergarten is learning about kindness this week. Mrs. Bradfield said, "My students told me how others have hurt them. I wrote them on a paper heart and then we passed it around and crumpled the heart (signifying how hurtful words/actions hurt our hearts and our heart can not be smoothed again.)"
One of our vocabulary words this week is ripple. We are learning the “ripple effect” of using kind words and unkind words.

For all you "planners" out there... the CPS Academic Calendar for 2021-22 has been approved by the Board of Education. It goes without saying, but just in case, this is official unless we have any unforeseen situations come up in the future.

LITERACY NIGHT IS TONIGHT! We can't wait to watch these performances with you at 6:00!
This year, Literacy Night has gone virtual! We are so excited to be able to still offer a Literacy Night to our Claremont family!
Please plan to join us via Google Classroom on Thursday, February 11th at 6:00 PM for a virtual Readers Theater performed by your very own classroom teachers!
The link to the performances is scheduled to go live on Google Classroom right at 6:00 PM. Find a place to snuggle up with your child and view the performance together!
We might not be IN the building, but that does not keep us from LEARNING!
Keep sharing those photos!

Due to the icy conditions, CPS will continue Distance Learning, Thursday, February 11th & Friday, February 12th.
Additionally, the child nutrition team will not distribute meals this week.
Check in to your Google Classrooms and follow the instructions. Your teachers are working from home and are available to assist you.
There will be no after school activities, including athletic practices or games.
We will post updates on the CPS communication platforms. If you have not downloaded our CPS App on your phone, we suggest doing that to receive the most updated information. It's available through the Apple Store & Google Play for free.
Be safe, stay warm, make a memory, and remember it's A Great Day to be a Zebra.
