Claremont family, we need your assistance!! We are having a contest every day this week to determine the best dressed (and best spirited) teacher for homecoming week! Here is what we need from you: Comment below with the photo number of the staff member(s) you think are the best dressed! Here are the rules: 1. You may only vote for ONE photo. 2. Voting for Thursday's dress up day ends at NOON on Friday. Thank you for helping us determine the best dressed "Surfer v. Biker" at Claremont! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

We are having a blast this homecoming week! Students dressed up with "beach hair, don't care or blue on Wednesday," and the hallways were a sea of blue! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Have you ever ridden to school in a police car? Chloe and Remington won the silent auction item - ride to school in a police car - and had the best time! Thank you Officer Hagen, our SRO, for transporting these students to school! We are sure they will always remember it! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Another silent auction item that was up for bidding at our Back to School Carnival held in August was Lunch with the Teacher! As you can imagine, it is such a fun thing for students to be able to have lunch - in the workroom - with a teacher! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

It's Homecoming Week, Zebra family!! Check out these "tacky tourists" roaming our halls today. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Thank you JT Septic, for gifting Claremont with this basket of school supplies! We are grateful for your support of our teachers and students!! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

There's nothing like a good book to bring people together! 4th graders had their first book club meeting and are excited to read "When Stars Are Scattered!" #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

PD Day = learning how to implement the Science of Hope in classrooms! Studies show that students who have hope achieve greater academically, socially and experience greater overall well-being. Hope is achieved through goals, pathways and willpower. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Pre-K students work on pre-writing activities in the classroom all day long! Here, students work on hands-on ways to practice letter formation. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

After reading The Rainbow Fish, Kindergarten students created their own rainbow fish with watercolors. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Welcome to the Zebra Family, Wade Easton! Mrs. Stanart and baby Wade are doing great! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Happy Birthday to our students who have birthdays this week!! "Happy happy birthday, on this your special day, happy happy birthday, that's what we're here to say!" "Happy happy birthday, may all your dreams come true, happy happy birthday from all of us to you!" #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

2nd graders love to read!! Students in Mrs. Johnston's class learned about check-out procedures and then practiced reading to self. Procedures are such an important part of the school day - setting expectations for everything from how to do things, to behavior. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

🛑 NO SCHOOL 🗓 Monday, September 26, 2022 All CPS sites will be closed while teachers participate in district-wide professional development. Central office will be open from 8A to 4P. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Meet Mrs. Fulks. You all know Mrs. Fulks as our 2022 District Teacher of the Year, but Mrs. Fulks wears more hats than just being a phenomenal EL teacher. Mrs. Fulks is also our site Tech Cadre member and works on all things technology at Claremont. Give Mrs. Fulks a shout out in the comments - we so appreciate the work she does to not only troubleshoot our teachers devices, but our student devices as well! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

When new centers are introduced in Pre-K, Mrs. Camber always models for the students what they are supposed to do in each center! Modeling is so important for setting procedures and expectations in advance. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

3rd Grade teachers, Mrs. Millsap and Mrs. Proctor, have been bringing their classes together to reinforce student's phonics foundation using SLB or Structured Language Basics. This curriculum provides instruction in phonological awareness, phonics, oral reading fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, grammar, handwriting and spelling. Its a phenomenal way to reinforce language basics for our students! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
