Claremont Elementary

Claremont's 1st-graders had the opportunity to attend the annual Patriot Day Ceremony at Claremore High School. This special event honors the heroes who served in the aftermath of 9/11 and remembers those who lost their lives on that fateful day. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Ms. Camber read the book Chrysanthemum, which talks about how friends feel when their feelings get hurt. They discussed the importance of showing kindness to avoid hurting others and 'wrinkling' their hearts. The students colored a band-aid and made a promise to show kindness every day. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

First grade loves the library! When they visited Ms. Browning in the library, they learned how to check out books and then got to read with their reading pals. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Claremont picture day is this Friday! Wear your favorite outfit and smile for the camera! Remember not to wear green! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Save the date! Picture day is September 13. Get those haircuts scheduled and have them ready to say "cheese," and don't forget - please don't send them wearing GREEN. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Mrs. Millsap's class is off to a great start with their first math puzzle of the year. Check out those cutting skills! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

4th grade recently enjoyed exploring their classroom STEM bins and taking a little free time! Playing with STEM bins is not only fun but also helps kids explore science, technology, engineering, and math in a hands-on way. It’s a great way to spark creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Mrs. Howell's class is working on their math skills. One student rolls the dice while the other writes the numbers 1-50 as fast as they can! When you roll a six, you must say 'stop!' Then it's time to switch. This fun game also got them thinking. Great job, second grade!" #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

We are kicking off the school year with a building-wide read aloud of "The Wild Robot." It is our goal to capture the excitement of reading with every student. Together, we will explore a storyline and discuss plot, characters, setting, and so much more. For ideas on how to get involved with your student during this exciting time, check out the Claremont news letter from Ms. Fay! https://claremorenewsletter.edurooms.com/engage/claremore-public-schools/newsletters/the-claremont-weekly-september-2-6 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

REMINDER - In honor of the Labor Day holiday, CPS will be closed on Monday, September 2nd. "Before the reward, there must be labor. You plant before you harvest. You sow in tears before you reap joy." Ralph Ransom Labor Day pays tribute to the contributions and achievements of American workers. The labor movement created it in the late 19th century, and it became a federal holiday in 1894. This weekend, as we spend time with our families and friends, celebrate the value of an honest day's work, the people who built America, and our nation's advancements because of the American labor force. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Sometimes your brain just needs a break. In those moments, Mrs. Ihle's class gives their bodies a quick workout. They did squats, crunches, donkey kicks, and even hopped on one foot. One thing is for sure, there is never a dull moment in third grade! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

To celebrate their first four days of school, Ms. Smith's class made and enjoyed snow cones. It was a refreshing and tasty treat to wrap up their first week back! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Up, up, and away! 4th grade took some time to enjoy the weather and learn about chemical reactions! Antacid rockets are a fun experiment that demonstrates the chemical reaction that happens when you mix antacids with water. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

On Friday, 5th grade did a team-building exercise that helped them learn to trust one another! They became a human caterpillar! One student was the head of the caterpillar and led the 'body' across the playground. Every student had to keep their eyes closed (except for the leader) and trust that the head would get them where they needed to go! Great Job, 5th grade! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Happy National Dog Day! While students enjoyed corn dogs in the cafeteria, the real celebration is all about man's best friend—our fluffy, cute, and sweet companions, our dogs! Do you have a picture of you and your dog? Share it in the comments—we'd love to see your furry friend! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Here are a few highlights from kindergarten from their first week back at school! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Pre-K is a fun and exciting place! You are learning school procedures for the first time, using creative play to discover new things, and making friends! The teachers and paras who work with these students love their jobs and enjoy watching their kids grow, but it can definitely be exhausting! As we wrap up the first four days of school, we want to give a special thank you to our teachers, administrators, support staff, and parents for helping make this week special. We are excited for the year ahead! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Thank you to Claremore First Methodist and She Brews for providing delicious coffee and muffins this week for our staff! We appreciate your support! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
