We love game-based learning!
Did you know that game based learning allows students to be more of an active participant in their learning as they are exposed to new content?
Students in Mrs. Johnston's 2nd grade class practice sight words and high frequency words with a Fall Spell and Roll game. Students draw a card, and then spell the word on their recording sheet - if they get the spelling correct, they get to move either one or two spaces, depending on the difficulty of the word.

1st grade students in Mrs. Ward's class work on fact and opinion for their journal writing activities. Together the class talks about facts and opinions - agrees on three facts, and writes them in their journal. After, they write three opinions on the same topic.

-Walking, Hiking, and Cycling
-Picking apples or pumpkins at a local orchard
-Stroll through a corn maze

One of the foundational skills in Pre-K is letter recgonition. Our Pre-K students work year round with letter recgonition and letter sounds so that when they go to Kindergarten, they have the foundation they need to begin putting sounds together, and eventually learning to read!

On Wednesday, teachers, students, and members of First United Methodist Church gathered around the pole for the annual See You At the Pole event to pray for our school and our community.
This completely voluntary event, held before school started for the day, made a great start to our Wednesday morning at Claremont.

Mrs. Keener was so excited to begin teaching classical guitar to our 5th graders!
Music Education has so many benefits!
Did you know that music education can provide enhanced language capabilities and improved memory? Learning an instrument also leads to increased coordination and achievement.

One of the things our amazing computers teacher works with our students on in her classroom is getting logged into their Google accounts and Classrooms. Something that is second nature for many of us takes many repetitions for students to get the hang of.

Did you know that small group instruction allows a teacher to monitor student actions more closely and provide frequent and individualized feedback to improve specific reading or math skills?
Small group time is SO important!

Our students are having SO much fun in Mrs. Francis' art class!! Every grade level is doing something fun and educational and all are thoroughly enjoying their time in art!
#CPSZEBRAPRIDE





Mrs. Harrison's 4th graders had the chance to participate in a fun activity to brush up on their math skills in a "Find Someone Who" game. On the game board, students had to find someone in their classroom who can...
-skip count by 5's to 100
-has hair that is at least 5" long
-has read 15 or more books over the summer
-etc.
This activity was a fun way for students to get up on their feet and get to know each other a little better!

On this #wellnesswedensday, and Arts In Education Week, we want to share the importance to the arts in education.
Did you know??
"Studying the arts also helps improve academic performance, not just through creativity, but it improves learning in areas like math and science as well as the literary field. Art education also fosters collaboration and group learning."
