Kindergartners are working on diagraphs in WIN Time. Students are given a word and they tell the teacher what diagraph is in the word. Then they get to throw the ball at the diagram. They love it! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Pre-K practices reading response with Be You, by Peter Reynolds. This book is a part of a reading exchange program, You've Been Book'd, implemented by our librarian, Mrs. Troyer. Each classroom, Pre-K through 2nd grade was given a bag with up to two books in it. Teachers were instructed to read the books to their class and then swap bags with another classroom. This way, students across the building are exposed to even more amazing books! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

"I feel to truly make a difference in a child’s life, we need to love what we are teaching. It took a year of teaching art before I experienced the explosion of creativity. It’s true! After consistently engaging in art for about a year, I found my ability to build things and my own critical thinking skills were pushed to a whole new level. I would find myself overwhelmed with things I could build and how I could achieve my goal. It built my confidence and creating in my own world continues to enhance my life in so many ways. This personal experience is what led me to LOVE sharing the creative process with my students. Engaging in art is so powerful! It helps students to develop their own personal voice and ways to talk about their art with their peers. I observe this in the classroom every day. I also love how art affects our mood in a positive way, making us happier, calmer, or even inspired to do something else. I know kids love art because before they even make it to art they are asking me every where they see me, whether it’s in the halls, cafeteria, at the grocery store, or when I am on duty, “What are we doing in art this week”? They simply can not wait until class. Teaching art has added purpose and meaning to my life and I am so grateful that being Claremont’s art teacher is part of my journey as an educator." #CPSZEBRAPRIDE #YOUTHINARTMONTH
