Claremont Elementary

4th graders learned about chemical reactions through creating film canister antacid rockets. We can confidently say they had a BLAST! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

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? #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Thank you, FBC for your continued kindness to Claremont! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

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

CPS will be closed on Monday, September 4th, in honor of the Labor Day holiday. Labor Day pays tribute to the contributions and achievements of American workers.  It was created by the labor movement in the late 19th century and 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

Mrs. Howell's 2nd graders had a big day for beginning to build class culture! ❇️Chain Challenge - Each child is an important “link” in our class chain. Every student matters. 💯 They were given 1 construction paper and 12” of tape. The challenge was to make the longest chain. It’s so fun to witness all their different ideas. ❇️All About Me bags were presented! ❇️Of course, they ended the day finding our Rock, Paper, Scissors Champ and eating popsicles! What a fun day in 2nd grade! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Fall photos are tomorrow!! Photos taken will be used in this year's yearbook, so come dressed in your best, and do not wear green! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

At Claremont, we know how important it is that our students are greeted with love and kindness each and every day! Greeting each other is so ingrained in our culture, that every teacher greets every student at their door before coming into the classroom. We want every student to know and feel how special they are to us! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
