Don't forget!
This year, Literacy Night has gone virtual! We are so excited to be able to still offer a Literacy Night to our Claremont family!
Please plan to join us via Google Classroom on Thursday, February 11th at 6:00 PM for a virtual Readers Theater performed by your very own classroom teachers!
The link to the performances is scheduled to go live on Google Classroom right at 6:00 PM. Find a place to snuggle up with your child and view the performance together!


Mrs. Ramsey’s WIN group has been working on Autobiography “All About Me”. The students made a timeline of their life, family tree, picked character words and a quote that relate to their life. Students also made a crest about their life and presented in front of the group!
Great job, Kids!

"One of my most precious stories happened a few years ago. I was helping a kindergarten boy in my office. He looked around the decorated room (calming colors, bean bag chairs, toys, and stuffed animals) and I guess it looked like home to him. He very sweetly looked at a set of stuffed animals and said, "Are these the stuffed animals that keep you company when you go to sleep at night?". It is so sweet that children think we LIVE at school!"

"One of the aspects about being a school counselor that I like most is that every day is different! I check temperatures in the car rider line every morning, do lessons throughout the day, attend meetings with parents and teachers, meet with students individually, and provide resources to parents ALL IN ONE DAY! It is truly a joy to stay busy and meet the needs of our Claremont children, families, and staff."

"Reading aloud with children provides benefits for adults too. The quality time spent together promotes bonding and strengthens relationships, making it easier for children to develop their social, communication, and interpersonal skills."
#CPSZEBRAPRIDE #WORLDREADALOUDDAY


"Unlike watching television, reading or being read to promotes a slower unfolding of events and ideas. This encourages children to listen, pay attention, and concentrate, which after a while can increase their overall attention span."
#CPSZEBRAPRIDE #WORLDREADALOUDDAY


Today is World Read Aloud Day!
Reading aloud is so important - "Children acquire language primarily through listening. Reading aloud lets children regularly hear new words in new contexts, which builds their vocabulary and helps them develop a stronger awareness of the communicative possibilities of language."

"Recently I discovered there's actually a name for the counseling approach I most closely follow. It's called bibliotherapy. Bibliotherapy involves using literature to teach and help others practice various skills. Reading to children is one of my favorite things, and I love using books in my lessons! The Claremore Public Schools Foundation awarded a grant for me to use at Claremont. I am purchasing some of my favorite titles to use with bibliotherapy!"
