HCS One School, One Book - whole school read!
For four weeks all students and staff at HCS will read "The Sasquatch Escape" by Suzanne Selfors. This story follows a boy named Ben who is facing the most boring summer vacation ever. He is staying with his grandfather he hardly knows in a rundown town called Buttonville. But then the family cat brings home an injured baby dragon so Ben and his new friend Pearl visit the only veterinarian in town and then discover that there is nothing boring about this unusual animal hospital.
HCS third graders started their Colonial America unit. Putting their learning into action, Gr 3 visited Strawberry Banke in Portsmouth where they toured the buildings and learned about colonial life including: homelife, games, architecture, tools, cooking, and chores! It was a fun, interactive visit that was enjoyed by all!
The Students of HCS and HMS will be hosting a " Winter Wonderland of Literacy" on Thursday, March 27th at 5:30pm. This Mega event will include a Scholastic Book Fair, the famous PTSA BINGO for Books, a book swap and will feature some amazing Winter Wonderland art! Please join us!
St. Patrick’s Day at the Central School was celebrated in full force with the wearin’ o’ the green, glittered hallways, student artwork, themed writing activities, place value with pots of gold, festive crafts, and the construction of leprechaun traps. A fun, festive day was had by all!
Last week, Mrs. Griffin's 7th grade class met with their Gr 2 buddies at HCS to hear Leprechaun stories which the second graders wrote and illustrated. This was another great partnership opportunity between HCS and HMS!
In Mrs. Lazarro's Gr 2 class the essential reading question recently was, "How do you express yourself?" Students discussed various ways they express themselves through music, art, writing and dance, to name a few. Students also read a story about recycled instruments which inspired them to create their own instruments in class. Students then brought their instruments to music class and Mrs. Stark integrated them into her lesson on four-beat rhythm patterns.
