Mrs. Ward’s 1st-grade class is learning about bar graphs! During their adventure today, they set out to determine which ice cream flavor was most preferred in their class. After a few minutes of coloring, the board began to fill up, and the results were in—chocolate was the clear favorite! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Caught reading! These students love going to the library and enjoying a good book! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE #CaughtReading

Wrapping up a meaningful week honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.! Students engaged in inspiring MLK-themed activities in the library, learning about his powerful legacy of justice, equality, and kindness. Here’s to keeping his dream alive through education and action! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Last week, Claremont’s 2nd graders spent time researching the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. Through their studies, they learned about his leadership in the civil rights movement and his message of equality, justice, and kindness. His life continues to inspire us to treat others with respect and strive for a better, more inclusive world. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

“Our 3rd graders have a blast getting creative in the STEM lab! From building and problem-solving to exploring new ideas, these young innovators are always impressing us with their curiosity and creativity.

When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade! When it gives you snow, you make snowmen—and that’s exactly what our 5th graders did! We love taking the classroom outdoors, even when it’s a little chilly. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
