Claremont kicked off state testing today! Several grades cheered our 3rd- graders on as they left the gym to get ready for testing. It was a fun way to start our morning and it was wonderful to see our students cheering each other to success! With testing happening over the next few weeks, please make sure your child is getting a good nights sleep and that they are eating a healthy breakfast. Education is our ticket to success after all! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Ms. Browning's Kindergarten class is having fun learning to read! Words are written on the beach ball. When the beach ball is thrown to each child, they read the word their thumb lands on! Some kids matched their word with words on the calendar to help figure it out, while others "phoned a friend" for a little extra help! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Our 4th-grade students presented 'Rise and Shine' on Friday. As a Great Expectations Model School, we consistently learn new and exciting things each month. The expectation of the week was Expectation #7: 'We will encourage each other to do our best.' Our Enriched Vocabulary word this month is 'Headway,' which means forward movement or progress. It was a wonderful morning, and the 4th graders did a fantastic job! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Happy National Assistant Principals Day! What better way to celebrate the amazing Mr. Mudd than by giving him a pie in the face! As part of our Penny Wars at the Claremont Carnival last week, one person was to be given a pie in the face at Rise and Shine this morning. Mr. Mudd was the lucky winner! Not only is he a great sport, but he is also a wonderful Assistant Principal. We are thankful for all Mr. Mudd does here at Claremont and for his commitment to our students and their education! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Mrs. Ward's 1st-grade class had an impromptu 'flood drill.' Have you ever done a flood drill? Neither had Mrs. Ward's students. They were instructed to grab their whiteboards, sit crisscross applesauce on their desks, and get ready to paddle! The drill was a success, and the students had a great laugh when Mrs. Ward said "April Fools"! Check out the smiles and unsure faces in the pictures!" #CPSZEBRAPRIDE #AprilFools
