A few weeks ago, we had lots to celebrate at Rise & Shine!

We recognized our August AND September Students of the Month, celebrated our September birthdays, and gave a big shout-out to our student shout-out recipients for the great things they’ve been doing around Claremont.

We also celebrated our winning library classes — Mrs. Ward’s class and Mrs. Meeker’s class!

And of course, we recognized two outstanding members of our Claremont staff:
Teacher of the Month — Mrs. Campbell
Support Staff of the Month — Mrs. Whitlow

We are so proud of all of our students and staff who were recognized. There is always so much to celebrate at Claremont!

Place value was looking pretty tasty in 2nd grade!

Our 2nd graders practiced hundreds, tens, and ones by using food as their place value blocks. This hands-on activity gave students a fun way to build numbers, see how each place works, and strengthen their understanding of place value.

We love seeing our Zebras learn through creative activities that make math memorable!

Squish it, roll it, shape it, create it!

Our 1st graders had the best time getting creative with Play-Doh. From silly shapes to colorful creations, there was no shortage of imagination or smiles.

Play-Doh and 1st grade? It's a pretty fun combination!

Our 4th graders took a step back in time as they wrote the Preamble on parchment-style paper using real fountain pens!

As part of their learning, students worked to recreate the style as accurately as possible, giving them a hands-on look at history and the writing process in a whole new way.

What a fun and meaningful way to bring learning to life!

Claremore Public Schools wants to partner with parents and guardians to accomplish our District goals for ALL students: to raise student achievement, close the achievement gap, provide educational equity, and ensure a safe educational environment.

One way we do this is through parent-teacher conferences. Although you can request a conference at any time, the district schedules four evening dates each year for conferences.

October 8th is the first opportunity for conferences across the District.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS with all the dates for the 26-27 school year: https://www.claremore.k12.ok.us/article/97447

Would you try Squid Ink Pasta?

It was time for our monthly Try Day, and this time we had something a little different on the menu — Squid Ink Pasta!

Our students were encouraged to give it a try, and the reactions were definitely mixed! Some gave it two thumbs up, while others weren’t quite sure about this unique dish.

That’s what Try Days are all about — being brave, trying something new, and maybe even discovering a new favorite along the way. We’re proud of our adventurous Zebras for giving it a taste!
