It's SPRING and everyone is learning about all of the different parts of this amazing season of renewal! 1st grade students have also been learning about plants, and the different parts of a plant! To see these parts up close, students were able to dissect a plant!

3rd graders really enjoyed their time with reading buddies in the library!
Library lessons are just about to wrap up for the year! All student books are due back next week!
#CPSZEBRAPRIDE









2nd graders in Mrs. Howell's class read The One and Only Ivan, by Katherine Applegate. In the story, the main character Ivan, who is a silverback gorilla, loves yogurt covered raisins. Students were curious about this treat, so Mrs. Howell treated them to their own yogurt covered raisins! Some liked them, and some did NOT!

Did you know that reading aloud with children is known to be the single most important activity for building the knowledge and skills they will eventually require for learning to read?
One of the greatest gifts you can give to your child is to read aloud - wonderful books - to them every day!

May is National Speech Language Pathologist month!
What is a SLP?
"Speech-language pathologists, also called SLPs, are experts in communication. SLPs work with people of all ages, from babies to adults. SLPs treat many types of communication and swallowing problems including: speech sounds, language, social communication, voice, fluency, etc."
We might be a little biased, but at Claremont, we believe we have the best SLP's there are! We are so thankful for Mrs. Harden and for her intern, Julia! Fun fact: Julia will be joining CPS as an additional hired SLP for the next school year!
Let's give Mrs. Harden and Ms. VanBerschot a shout out in the comments!

Congratulations to Landon Wheat, one of 5 students to make it to the Sodexo Nationals! Landon's recipe was chosen as to go on to represent Claremont, Claremore Public Schools, and Oklahoma!!
Way to go Landon!!


We want to give a huge thank you to an anonymous donor who gave money to our library! This was used to purchase book bins for our fiction and picture book sections.
Having forward facing books helps students to be more independent library users and have more autonomy in their book choices.
Thank you!

Our student teachers are amazing!
Mrs. Leifheit read "My Mouth is a Volcano" and then made a volcano with 1st graders in Mrs. Ward's class. As the year winds down, many times a review of expectations is needed, and this was such a fun way to remind students to show respect while others are speaking.
