Claremont Elementary

My name is Torie Proctor. I teach 3rd grade. I have been in education for 5 years and this is my first year at Claremore Public Schools. I attended Oklahoma State University where I received a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education. I am married to my wonderful husband, Marshall. We have one dog, Sadie. We just moved to Claremore after living one year in Shawnee, OK. Being from Owasso, we enjoy being back with family, friends, and our church family. We love to travel, play games, hike, drink good coffee, and listen to audiobooks. My hobbies include baking, creating watercolor art, trying out coffee shops, reading and being in nature. My favorite quote is "Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were an offering far too small, love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all." - Isaac Watts

Kindergarten students worked together to create structures during free time. Learning to work together is so important for Kindergartners as it prepares them for working with their classmates in the future!

Need an extra gallon to take to your Thanksgiving holiday dinner? Go by and grab a gallon of sweet tea and lemonade from Chick-Fil-A! This month Chick-fil-A will donate $1 to the Claremore Public School Foundation. CPSF funds class and teacher grants district-wide. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Kindergartners play "What Comes Next." In this game, the student rolls the dice, and whatever number they land on, they cover up the number that comes next. For example, if a 1 is rolled, the student would cover up the 2. This covers a variety of skills: number recgonition, counting, and numeral order.

One of the 4th Grade WIN time groups has been researching explorers! This group of students spent time researching a specific explorer, brainstorming and planning for a presentation and getting to create their explorer! Students use butcher paper, markers, crayons, and a whole slew of other craft supplies to create. The goal is for them to look like the explorer they researched. These will be used for a visual in their presentations.

Thank you Claremont families for your generous donations! Thanks to you and donations from Light of Hope, 20 of our families will have plenty of food for Thanksgiving!

Yesterday was a GE Coaching Day! Staff began the day with cinnamon rolls from Mrs. Fay, and then several of our teachers were observed and coached in Great Expectations classroom practices. It was a great day!

We are so thankful for our Mrs. Fulks. She goes above and beyond to be there for our students and staff at Claremont. She is always willing to lend a hand and is a team player!

Kindergarten WIN time has been creating Rhyming Monsters! Aren't these little guys fun?

To celebrate National School Psychology Week (last week), throughout the day today, we highlight our school psychologists and the critical work they do to help our students and staff thrive and discover “The Power of Possibility.” Possibility, chance, likelihood, probability - all things that inspire hope, expectation, desire. With their training, tools, and techniques, these staff members empower and equip our Zebra family to not only aspire to succeed but take action steps to accomplish those dreams. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE #SPAW2020 #WellnessWednesday
