Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! 
As we get ready for Thanksgiving I would just like to pause and say thank you to the entire HBB community!  I feel so blessed to be working in such a supportive environment.  I am thankful for our amazing teachers and support staff and for all the parents who give so much of themselves to help make HBB such special place.  We are truly lucky and I am truly thankful.  Thank you and have a  VERY HAPPY THANKSGIVING! 

Letters to Santa
Once again this year we are partnering with the Berio Family to raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.  All you need to do is have your kids write letters to Santa and bring them into the school.  For every letter written Macy's will make a donation to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.  We will have a box in the main office for all letters.  Thank you in advance for helping us out with this great cause!  


Family Math Game Nights at Bridgewater State
Have you ever though that family game time and math homework could actually be the same thing?

For the first time, this year Dr. Sabinin is holding a series of Engage in Math Parents’ Game Nights. At these Games Nights, Dr. Sabinin will share some of the most impactful games, which can help kids build strong intuition about school mathematics. With this intuition, their engagement and grades in math class can improve
dramatically.

Dr. Polina Sabinin is a mathematics educator in the Department of Mathematics at BSU. Specifically, her scholarship is in using games and puzzles to teach mathematics. For over a decade, she has trained teachers in grades 1 - 12 at all points in their careers. As part of her work she has built a library of almost 100 mathematical games, which she uses in courses and workshops for teachers.
Join us for a night of playing and learning! Register early! Registration ($25) is limited and includes a game, which you can take home to play with your kid(s). Please note, this is an event for the parents so no children under 12, please.

1st and 3rd Grade Collaboration
Today Ms. Fecteau's and MRs. Trottier's classes paired up to share their Thanksgiving Day writing.  The kids did some great work and had a fun time!  


College Gear Day
Today was College Gear Day which is all part of our Where are You Headed initiative.  Celebrating College Gear Day is just a fun way to help develop a college bound school culture.  We want all students to understand that they can be anything they want to when they grow up if they work hard.  We want our students to have goals for themselves and to develop a belief that anything is possible!  The kids a great time with it and many teachers went even further by having their kids develop posters about where they want to go and why.  Below is one of those students from Mrs. Lazarovich's class.  He hopes to go to Notre Dame!
