IT'S TIME FOR ANOTHER TEACHER TAKEOVER
On Wednesday, Mrs. Jessica Peck, a teacher at Claremont, will take over the CPS social media stories to give us a peek into the life of a 1st-grade teacher.
Follow CPS on INSTAGRAM! Over the next few weeks, we will have several students/teachers "takeover" the stories and show you what it's like to be a part of the Zebra Family!

Mrs. Peck challenged her 1st grade students to complete a reading at home BINGO card! The reward: ice cream! 
These three students were the first to complete their cards. Great job, 1st graders!

4th grade students had a chance to "GLOW what they KNOW" in preparation for state testing this week! Teachers set up black lights, and students did work on neon paper, used highlighters, and neon sticky notes - and also some wore neon clothing! It was a fun day of review for all involved!

Taxation Without Representation!!
5th grade students in Ms. Bailey's class participated in a simulation that allowed them to experience the frustrations of the American colonists under British rule. 
They were taxed for things such as having siblings, wearing jeans, and eating lunch. Their reactions were the best!
Afterward, they connected their experiences to our readings in social studies. They discussed how the tax laws affected the colonists, how they reacted, and how they led to the American Revolution.

Meet Mrs. Clark. 
Mrs. Clark is another of our amazing paraprofessionals on our Reading Team. Before becoming a paraprofessional, Mrs. Clark was a classroom teacher.  She brings years of experience and dedication to each student she interacts with. In her time with her students, Mrs. Clark works together with the student to help him/her reach their reading goals. Every student who has been in her group loves their time with her. We are grateful to have Mrs. Clark at Claremont! 
Give her a shout out in the comments!

1st grade is learning about plants and where our food comes from.  
- They observed how water travels up the stem of a plant and into the leaves by placing a celery stalk in a glass of water dyed with food coloring.  
- They observed and recorded what the celery looked before, then they made predictions about what would happen. 
- After several hours they observed the changes and recorded them. 🔍👩🔬👨🔬

2nd graders were introduced to the Innovation Lab in preparation for their 3rd grade year! 
After covering rules and procedures, students were introduced to the STEM learning structure. In the first component of the STEM Learning Structure, they learned about various habitats and food chains. Then they spent time learning how to use the design software Pixie 4 and then combined what they learned to create their own digital media Pixie storybooks about multiple habitats.
