Earlier this fall, 2nd graders were able to observe the life cycle of a Monarch butterfly take place before their very eyes. Mrs. Bear found a monarch caterpillar and placed it in a container so the students were able to see this very cool metamorphosis take place.
Mrs. Bradfield's kindergarten class has been practicing their reading this week - and they have been doing it in a unique way! They have been using witch fingers to keep their place in a sentence!
Today was Wear Red Day to celebrate Red Ribbon Week! As Claremore Zebras, we have a lot of red! It was so fun to see the "seas of red" today!
Our Pre-K students went all out with PJ day yesterday! We are all wishing it was PJ day again today! Stay tuned for pictures from today! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
Students wore patterns today for Red Ribbon Week! We think these pattern combos were pretty fun!
PJ Day was a great way to begin this dreary and wet Monday! We think our students agree. Red Ribbon week is about more than just dress up days. We hope to inspire and encourage our students to make healthy decisions now - and later that will be a positive impact on their lives, families and community.
As a part of their morning routine, Mrs. Howells 1st grade class talks about the weather, the season, and how many days students have been in school!
4th and 5th graders were asked to write and reflect on a woman who has helped or inspired them - someone who they respect and admire. This display is currently featured at the Claremore Museum of History. The reasons behind why these students are inspired by the women in their lives will melt your heart. Take some time this weekend and go check it out!

Mrs. Steuart, our PE teacher is currently without a gym as construction takes place on our campus - but doesn’t keep her from teaching fun and engaging lessons! Here 4th grade students exercise together - look at those squats!
Morgan and Gentry, Claremont Elementary students, have created a workspace on their kitchen table to complete their distance learning assignments.
Here are some additional tips for successful distance/virtual learning.
Let's start with a productive study environment.
𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲 - make a plan and stick to it. Whether you start early in the morning or at noon - start on time and move through the day with purpose. Set a timer to stay focused, give yourself intermittent breaks, but don't stray too long. Remember to finish your assignments for the day. Don't put off to tomorrow what you can do today.
𝗙𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 - You want to be comfortable, but not so comfortable that you fall asleep (studying in bed is not always the best option). Choose a desk, table, or bar - creating a designated space, so children know it's school time.
𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 - A study space that is not appropriately lit may make you feel sleepy and put a strain on your eyes. Adjust the lighting to make sure your screen contrast is comfortable to look at while working. Natural light is sufficient, but make sure the temptation to look out of the window doesn't distract you from your studies.
𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀 - Have all the study materials you need to hand and ONLY the study materials to remove distractions. Keep traditional school supplies in a designated area.
𝗢𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗲 - A tidy and efficient desktop is a useful desktop, whether it's your real desk or on your computer.
𝗣𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆 - In this day and age, it might seem like an unrealistic request, but detaching from your smartphone while studying (unless you are studying on your phone) will allow you to get down to some serious work.
𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 - You may be the kind of person who enjoys a little background noise when studying. However, keep it at a low volume and make sure it's something you don't have to turn your attention to and manage often.
𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝘆 - Make sure that the study space you have created is only used for studying, if possible. This space physically represents your dedication and focus on achieving your goals for the day. If it's impossible to have a dedicated space, make sure you can transform an appropriate area to and from your dedicated study space as seamlessly and tidily as possible.
We understand that studying online takes dedication and discipline, but the advantages of getting your study method, space, and routine set up are totally worth it. Follow these tips to make sure you give yourself the best chance to succeed when distance or online learning and make your study space the place where learning happens.

5th grade students have been working on perspective in Mrs. Francis' art class. What a beautiful way to create a fall landscape!
Students in Mrs. Francis' art class have enjoyed working on fall art projects for the last couple of weeks. Here students drew leaves with white crayons and then used watercolor paint to paint over them. You can see how the leaf drawings show through the colored paint!
2nd grade meets together in reading groups every day. This small group time is essential to growing readers! Mrs. Howells students really enjoy their small group time as well!
