Today is Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. Pearl Harbor day is observed annually on December 7th to remember and honor the 2,403 United States citizens who were killed in the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii.
Grant Patrol on the roll today! Two of our very own received grants from the Claremore Public Schools Foundation today! Congratulations, Mrs. Halbrook and the 1st grade teachers and Mrs. Urbonas!
3rd grade prepared in advance for our distance learning day! Each week, teachers take time on Thursdays to prepare students for what they will be doing on Friday! This is why it is so important that students come to school with their devices - and they are fully charged.
What's more fun than playing with your food?
2nd grade students got to do just that in Mrs. Francis' art class! Students were given plates of fruity cereal to thread into necklaces - and most enjoyed them as their afternoon snack later in the day.
1st grade students made bead bracelets in Mrs. Francis's art class. This activity allowed the students extra work in letter identification and small motor skills!

Kindergarten students work hard on their CVC words.
A CVC word is made up of a consonant, vowel, and consonant sound. When a vowel is followed by a consonant, it is a closed syllable and makes the vowel say its sound. Cat is an example of a CVC word
This is an important skill for Kindergarteners!

At CPS WIN Time, which stands for "What I Need," is a designated time of day for students to receive targeted instruction for their greatest needs. It is a building-wide fluid system of student intervention. Once students become proficient in their area of difficulty or enrichment, they transition to their next priority area.
At Claremont Elementary School, Mrs. @Vona Cardwell's WIN group, for the upper grades, focuses on "enrichment" where the CSN network was launched.
The idea was developed to motivate students and nurture a sense of pride in their school; it creatively brings the building together during a time of necessary separation amongst grade-level cohorts. Students love the opportunity to be a part of the CSN broadcast. "Mrs. Cardwell brought the idea to life, exceeding my expectations," exclaimed Mrs. Randa Reavis Fay, Principal.
Students are learning about public speaking, improving vocabulary, video technology and more. The broadcast will be available monthly.

4th Graders participated in "Text Feature Surgery" where they were tasked to find text features in magazines to put in their text feature workbook. Armed with only scissors and glue, these surgeons operated quickly and effectively to identify those text features.
More of 4th grade performing "surgery" for their text feature workbooks. Text features are things like the title, index, glossary, illustrations, captions, labels and many more. Students identified these using magazines and cut/pasted them into their workbooks.
