Our 2nd graders practiced hundreds, tens, and ones by using food as their place value blocks. This hands-on activity gave students a fun way to build numbers, see how each place works, and strengthen their understanding of place value.
We love seeing our Zebras learn through creative activities that make math memorable!

Thank you, Ms. Browning, for helping our readers discover that sometimes the best stories are the ones that don’t go quite as planned!

Our 1st graders had the best time getting creative with Play-Doh. From silly shapes to colorful creations, there was no shortage of imagination or smiles.
Play-Doh and 1st grade? It's a pretty fun combination!










As part of their learning, students worked to recreate the style as accurately as possible, giving them a hands-on look at history and the writing process in a whole new way.
What a fun and meaningful way to bring learning to life!





One way we do this is through parent-teacher conferences. Although you can request a conference at any time, the district schedules four evening dates each year for conferences.
October 8th is the first opportunity for conferences across the District.

It was time for our monthly Try Day, and this time we had something a little different on the menu — Squid Ink Pasta!
Our students were encouraged to give it a try, and the reactions were definitely mixed! Some gave it two thumbs up, while others weren’t quite sure about this unique dish.
That’s what Try Days are all about — being brave, trying something new, and maybe even discovering a new favorite along the way. We’re proud of our adventurous Zebras for giving it a taste!
Here is NUMBER 4!

Thank you, Ms. Browning, for helping our readers find books that make them laugh, relate, and keep turning the pages!

College Game Day took over Claremont today!
Our Zebras showed up repping their favorite teams, including OU, OSU, Alabama, RSU and many more! They brought plenty of school spirit for another fun day of Homecoming Week.
And don’t forget — tomorrow is Wacky Wednesday! We can’t wait to see the crazy colors, mismatched outfits and all the wonderfully wacky looks our students come up with!










Our 5th graders took learning on the move with a vocabulary scavenger hunt! Students searched for clues while working through new words and their definitions in a fun, interactive way.
Learning, moving, and working together — way to go, 5th grade!
