One of our first grade classes have been working hard to earn compliments from teachers and staff—especially while walking in the hallways. Each time we earn one, we add it to our tally. Once we hit 10 compliments, we celebrate with something special!

This time, our first graders earned a sidewalk chalk recess! They showed responsibility, respect, and teamwork, and we are so proud of them.

Way to go, Zebras! 🦓
Keep working hard and showing that awesome hallway behavior!

At #Claremont, we know that reading with your child makes a big difference!

This month’s newsletter includes a Literacy Loop section that focuses on phonemic awareness—the foundation of strong reading skills.

When you take time to read to and with your child every day, you’re building vocabulary, boosting comprehension, and creating special moments together. Even just 10–15 minutes a day can make a lasting impact!

We love seeing our teachers and students sharing books and we encourage families to keep the love of reading growing at home too!

Our Little Zebras had so much fun learning about their tools last week — scissors, glue, and markers - oh my!

We loved watching their excitement as they explored, practiced, and grew more confident using them. It’s amazing to see these early skills come to life and set the stage for all the creativity ahead!

Our Pre-K kiddos have been learning all about kindness! After reading Chrysanthemum, we discovered how our words can wrinkle someone’s heart —and how important it is to care for each other’s hearts. We promised to keep our Pre-K hearts wrinkle-free with kindness! #Claremont

Our 5th graders practiced trust and teamwork in a fun activity called The Caterpillar.

The “head” of the caterpillar was the only one with eyes open, leading the way safely around the playground. The rest of the caterpillar had to keep their eyes closed and rely on trust, communication, and the person in front of them to guide the way.

To wrap it all up, students created their very own Play-Doh caterpillar molds—showing that when we all do our part, something wonderful comes together.

Learning how to trust, follow, and work as a team helps our students grow stronger together—just like our Claremont family!

Our third grade students enjoyed the book Sticks! by Diane Alber—a heartwarming story about a little popsicle stick who doesn’t feel very special at first. With a growth mindset, he learns that everyone has unique strengths and that believing in ourselves, learning from mistakes, and never giving up helps us all shine in our own way. 🌟 To celebrate, we shared Bomb Pops together in the courtyard! It was the sweetest reminder that learning and growing can be fun—and that just like “Sticks,” every one of us has something special to bring to the world. #ZebraNation
