Research shows that routines are just as important for children as they are for adults. Just like adults, children feel more confident and secure when their daily activities are predictable and familiar. A consistent daily schedule and step-by-step routines give children a predictable day. For this #wellnesswednesday, we want to share some tips to ease back into a school routine. Let's make this last 9 weeks count! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Mrs. Mitchell's class participates in center time. Playdough play is so beneficial for Kindergarteners. It works to increase their fine motor skills, encourages creativity, enhances hand-eye coordination, and it can be extremely calming. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

My name is Cindy Ramsey and I am the Reading Specialist. I have been in education and at Claremont for 23 years. I attended Northeastern State University where I received a degree in Elementary/Early Childhood Education, and a Masters degree as a Reading Specialist. I have been married to my husband, Sam for 22 years. Sam is a 1994 Claremore graduate and is an administrator at Tulsa Tech. We have 2 daughters, Chloe, senior at CHS, who plans to go to RSU and earn her Nurse Practitioner License through OU. Ella is an 8th grader at WRJH and a fantastic volleyball and soccer player. I love watching Chloe dance, and Ella play volleyball and be a soccer goalie. I love to travel to Florida and snorkel in the ocean. My dream is to get certified for scuba diving and travel to exotic places to scuba dive. Claremont is my home. I have been here for 23 years. I began teaching in 3rd grade for 6 years, then taught elementary science for 7 years. I am now a reading specialist. I did my final teaching internship at Claremont with Brenda Igarta, a fabulous first grade teacher. I love how hard the teachers at Claremont work, their tenacity, and willingness to go above and beyond for our kids. Sometimes it is providing encouragement to a student or colleague who is having a rough day. Sometimes it is celebrating when one of my students reaches a goal in reading, but it is ALWAYS showing love and support! Claremont kids are the BEST! Teachers at Claremont love our kids and have a passion for teaching. Sometimes we have discouraging days, but each day is a new day to show these kids we love them and want them to be successful in school! One of the most rewarding experiences I have had was when a former Claremont student became a teacher. She told me I had a little part in helping her love school. She is now a teacher at Catalayah, Mrs. Kathy Lopez Clifton, and she is AMAZING!! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

We can not believe its been over a month since our 100th day of school! Pre-K students were able to do several fun activities for their 100th day! One of those activities was sorting. Students sorted cereal by color and then threaded them on a string! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

March is Youth In Art Month! "Think about it! Art is all around us! It’s part of our daily life. Allowing children the opportunity to create needs to begin at an early age. It helps them to connect to the world around them. Engaging in art at the elementary level is important because it teaches a wide range of skills. It teaches children to be independent, to think for themselves, encourages self-expression, attention to detail, creativity and builds self-confidence, as well as, a sense of individual identity. It allows children opportunities to create a different world through imagination and creativity. Without art, they would not be able to record their imagination and creativity. Art fosters development in motor skills, problem solving skills and critical thinking skills. It also helps children work through different situations like working through feelings and emotions and also helps reduce stress. Art teaches creativity and innovation. It teaches children to be thinkers, not memorizers. Through art, children learn the essential skills that are necessary for students to be successful in this new age." - Mrs. Francis

My name is Wendi Mitchell and I teach Kindergarten. I have been in education for 31 years, all of those being with CPS. I attended the University of Science and Arts Oklahoma and Northeastern State University and I hold degrees in Deaf Education, Multiple Disabilities, Intellectual Disabilities, and a Masters in Special Education. I have been married to my husband Cris for 32 years. We have three daughters, one granddaughter and a grandson on the way. I enjoy crafting, quilting, and spending time with my family and friends. I love working with my team and I enjoy seeing a child really "get it." Sometimes, when a child struggles with learning, and they really begin to understand it, it is one of the best experiences in teaching. I believe that it is so important to give students mutual respect and love to springboard their success. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

4th grade students participate in small group instruction in Language Arts and Math. Small group instruction allows you to truly differentiate your instruction. It allows you to offer rigorous, targeted instruction on that particular group's ability level. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
