Taxation Without Representation!!
5th grade students in Ms. Bailey's class participated in a simulation that allowed them to experience the frustrations of the American colonists under British rule.
They were taxed for things such as having siblings, wearing jeans, and eating lunch. Their reactions were the best!
Afterward, they connected their experiences to our readings in social studies. They discussed how the tax laws affected the colonists, how they reacted, and how they led to the American Revolution.

Meet Mrs. Clark.
Mrs. Clark is another of our amazing paraprofessionals on our Reading Team. Before becoming a paraprofessional, Mrs. Clark was a classroom teacher. She brings years of experience and dedication to each student she interacts with. In her time with her students, Mrs. Clark works together with the student to help him/her reach their reading goals. Every student who has been in her group loves their time with her. We are grateful to have Mrs. Clark at Claremont!
Give her a shout out in the comments!

1st grade is learning about plants and where our food comes from.
- They observed how water travels up the stem of a plant and into the leaves by placing a celery stalk in a glass of water dyed with food coloring.
- They observed and recorded what the celery looked before, then they made predictions about what would happen.
- After several hours they observed the changes and recorded them. 🔍👩🔬👨🔬

2nd graders were introduced to the Innovation Lab in preparation for their 3rd grade year!
After covering rules and procedures, students were introduced to the STEM learning structure. In the first component of the STEM Learning Structure, they learned about various habitats and food chains. Then they spent time learning how to use the design software Pixie 4 and then combined what they learned to create their own digital media Pixie storybooks about multiple habitats.

Its a great day when snacks are a part of lessons!
1st graders have been working on fractions! Some of their fraction activities have included making their favorite pizza and cutting them into fourths, and also doing an "eat my math" activity with oatmeal pies where they also practiced halves and fourths.

Kindergarten students in Mrs. Shrum's class have been working hard on not shouting out in the classroom. In order to add some additional incentive to this challenge, Mrs. Shrum introduced "blurt beans." Every day, students have the opportunity to earn blurt beans - or have them taken away - depending on how well they are exercising their self control and not blurting out during instruction.
After filling their entire jar with beans, Mrs. Shrum treated the class to a pizza party!! Way to go, kindergarteners!

Pre-K students learned how to draw a springtime bunny! They were so "hoppy" to see their finished products and get to show them off to their grownups.

We've got some scientists on our hands!
2nd grade students are learning about plants!! They began their unit by examining a lima bean and recording the data they found. Then, students learned about chlorophyll, the green pigment responsible for the absorption of light, which provides energy for plants to make food!
