Getting ready for the fall sports awards night!
Students in Mrs. Burkett's and Mrs. Rodrigues's science classes worked on creating interactive bat posters using "Makey-Makey" kits to celebrate International Bat Week. Makey-Makey is a bridge between the digital and physical worlds that allows anyone to become an inventor. The students worked on becoming "myth busters" and recorded facts that would help people understand that even though bats can look scary, they are incredibly helpful to our ecosystems. Once students completed their interactive posters, the classes did a gallery walk and had the opportunity to view each team's work.
Last week our fourth graders had the opportunity to visit the State House and the NH Historical Society Museum in Concord. Students visited the legislative chambers of the House of Representatives and the Senate. While there, they met local lawmakers and debated a mock bill about adding an additional hour to the school day (it was voted down by the students!). Students also visited the governor’s office and the State House lobby featuring paintings of NH leaders and historical flags dating back to the Civil War. Across the street, students visited the NH Historical Society Museum where they explored numerous exhibits on the cultural history of New Hampshire. Students learned about the cog railway, NH’s indigenous past, antique artifacts, artwork, and colonial history. The fourth graders enjoyed their visit to Concord and gained a better understanding of NH history, culture, and government.
HCS Parents,
Please take a look at our Lost & Found table located outside the office while you are visiting for Conferences.

This past week our third graders had the opportunity to participate in Caine's Arcade, an interactive, collaborative STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) project where students grouped up, designed, constructed, tested, and played cardboard arcades. One design construction and collaboration were foci for this project. Students drafted and constructed creative and innovative designs and had fun through the learning, design, construction, and testing process. Thank you to Mrs. Wisecarver and the Gr 3 teachers. Well done Grade 3 students!
