Think Globally, Act Locally


This year our theme at Hough Street School is THINK GLOBALLY, ACT LOCALLY!  Each grade level will present a Science Unit that connects to this important theme.  Yesterday, we visited Mrs. Magdalener's 3rd grade class and learned about the effects of pollution on plants.  The students watched a short video that was created by the 3rd graders and talked about ways they can help the environment.

Holiday Friendship Chain

Today, we enjoyed spending time with our first grade friends to make a special friendship craft! The students had the opportunity to add 10 links to a first grade chain. Stop by the first grade hall to view our paper chain! Can you guess how many links are on our friendship chain? Ask a first grader to see how close your estimate is to the actual number of links!
