We love WIN Time! WIN Time is so important to our teachers and students because it gives targeted instruction to students where they need it most. Because every staff member in our building has a WIN Group, our group sizes are able to stay small and students receive more one-on-one instruction.
Good afternoon, these past few weeks have been an excellent respite for our Zebra families, but we are now ready to embrace the educational opportunities 2021 will bring. Tomorrow, Jan. 4th, classes will resume at their regularly scheduled time at all our sites.
We will continue to implement our COVID protocols: wear a mask, watch our social distancing, and frequently wash hands . Please come prepared with the mask that was provided at the beginning of the year or a personal one.
As we continue to mitigate the COVID-19 virus, we ask you, please stay home and contact your principal immediately if you have any of the following within the last week:
1. have been in direct contact with a COVID case,
2. had a positive test within the 10 days
3. are waiting on the results of a COVID test, or
4. are showing any symptoms.
We look forward to the lightbulb moments, personal growth, and all our Zebras filling up the halls with the laughter, chatter, and smiles they bring with them.

We had so much fun showing Mr. Frazier around Claremont that we can't stop talking about it! 2nd Graders in Mrs. Howell's class had a great time showing him what they were doing in their math stations.
1st grade students practice for a readers theater.
Readers theater is a way to involve students in reading aloud. In Readers Theater, students "perform" by reading scripts created from on grade-level books or stories.

4th graders get to see the new gym for the first time! Before beginning class, Mrs. Steuart talks about new procedures for the new gym. We are all so excited that this part of our building is finished!
My name is Kristen Bradfield. I teach Kindergarten. I have been in education for 12 years, 6 of those being with CPS. I attended Northeastern State University and received a degree in Early Childhood Education.

I love Claremont - the things I love best are THE KIDS - they are like one of my own. And of course, you cannot find a better group of teachers and staff to help you get through the day. We have a lot of fun!
"Do You Want to Build a Snowman?"
Kindergarten students drew their own snowmen in Mrs. Francis' art class and when finished, were given time to free draw.
5th graders in Mrs. Bowens class work on writing. Writing is such an important skill for students to master!
Pre-K students creating snowmen after our librarian, Mrs. Troyer read Snowmen at Christmas by Caralyn Buehner
Mrs. Fay reading to one of our 1st grade classes. We love that our principal jumps right on in and takes the time to build relationships with our students!
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!
Merry Christmas from all of us at Claremont! We hope your day is full of love, kindness, thankfulness, and hope.
On this day of gift giving and receiving, remember that friendship is one of the greatest gifts.

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!
#TBT to Mr. Frazier's visit.
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.
