Mr. Scharabok helps one of our Kindergarten students with his mask. One of the things we have noticed during this pandemic is that students have adjusted so well to wearing their masks. We are thankful to have the support of our community with the procedures put forth to keep our students and staff safe!

Our new student broadcast - Claremont Student News - requires students to assist in writing a script, producing, and editing the production. Here, one of our 4th grade students, works together with Mrs. Cardwell to edit the newest installment of CSN.
3rd graders in Mrs. Proctors class enjoy listening to Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Read alouds are so important for comprehension, enriched vocabulary and to increase love of reading!

4th grade students in Mrs. Schell's class work together in small groups to dive deep into a story they have been reading together in class. Students discussed character traits, plot (rising action, falling action, etc.), and vocabulary in the text to develop a greater comprehension of the story.

My name is Mrs. Halbrook. I love teaching! I have been teaching since January 2006. I spent 10 years teaching Pre-Kindergarten, 3 years teaching Kindergarten and this will be my second year teaching First Grade here at Claremont. This is my fourth year teaching at Claremont Elementary. My husband and I have two kiddos at home, one is in 8th Grade and the youngest one is in the Pre-Kindergarten here at Claremont. We love animals and have five dogs and two cats. We enjoy relaxing when we can and love to spend our days by the pool. My favorite quote is "Today is a good day, to have a good day."

Here are some photos from some of our prize winners! Again, we are so thankful for our Partners in Education, RCB and RSU for making this happen!
Kindergarten classes had Polar Express Day last week. Students wore pajamas to school and got to watch the movie while sipping hot cocoa!
Pre-K students begin their day with Mrs. Camber. Mrs. Camber is such an exceptional Pre-K teacher!
Today is the first day of winter and is also known as the Winter Solstice, which marks the onset of winter and the shortest day of the calendar year.
Happy Winter Solstice!
On the last day of school before Christmas Break, students were treated to snacks and a viewing of an RSU basketball game. There were also prize drawings for students and teachers! We are so thankful for our partners in education, RCB and RSU for making this happen!
2nd Graders work on their knowledge of coin amounts, and practice adding different variations of coins together.
Kindergartners celebrated Grinch Day last week! Students were asked to wear green, got to have Grinch themed snacks, and completed rotations to each class where they were able to do Grinch themed crafts! As you can see, our Kindergarten students had a blast!
