Pre-K students receive an assessment at the beginning of the year. This helps our Pre-K teacher, Mrs. Camber, to know what students already know, and what they need to learn. This is an excellent way to gauge where she needs to begin teaching so students stay interested and engaged.

Music with Mrs. Keener isn't just for rhythm and beat, sometimes it's a chance to show off your skills! 3rd grader Hadley shared a music piece she has been learning with her classmates.

A classroom is a unique environment - one where students are able to not only develop academically, but socially. Community is so important in a classroom and ensures a positive learning environment.

The first week of school was filled with inside recess due to the unsafe temperatures outside! 1st grade teachers and students made the best of it with "wing recess," where students had the chance to play with toys and manipulatives that are reserved for those unsafe weather days!

At the beginning of the year, specials teachers come together to develop intentional interactions between students that will help our new to Claremont students feel welcome. The activities range from STEM building to playing games, and students have a blast!

Kindergarten students love read-aloud time!
Reading aloud has so many benefits! Reading aloud helps to create a classroom community, gives students an opportunity to hear their teacher model fluency and expression, and helps students learn how to use language and make sense of the world.
What books do you love to read aloud at home?

5th grade students persevered in their task to save Fred!
To do this, they worked in teams to get a life preserver onto Fred the worm,
then put him and a paddle into the boat touching nothing but a paper
clip each.
Great teamwork, 5th graders!
#CPSZEBRAPRIDE
We are so excited to announce the addition of some new staff members to the Claremont family! Next up - Mrs. Amanda Meeker, 5th Grade.
"Why Claremont?"
My experience with the excellence that Claremont exhibits has always been as a parent. When it came time to begin my journey as an educator, there was no doubt that I wanted to contribute to the excellence that I experienced firsthand.
"What are you most excited about for this upcoming year?"
I’m most excited about meeting my first group of students while learning and growing alongside them!
Give Mrs. Meeker a warm welcome to Claremont in the comments!
