MARY A. HUBBARD SCHOOL

Writers and artists in K-Cam are practicing their drawing skills as they explore our illustration unit! They are learning how to use simple shapes to create people, places, and things while bringing their creative ideas to life. ✏️🩷

Hubbard School’s Back to School Night was a success! It was wonderful welcoming our families into our classrooms and sharing a glimpse into the learning, growth, and experiences ahead this school year. A special shoutout to our amazing Hubbard RAMbassadors, who helped lead the way and welcome families throughout the evening! We hope everyone left feeling informed, connected, and excited for the year ahead.

Word Study in K: Students practiced their first Red Word, “to,” by creating their own “to” books to reference and read at home. They also used Play-Doh to reinforce the spelling of “to” and practice forming the letter C, our focus letter for the week.

Check out these kindergarteners from Miss Beatty’s class exploring the Ramsey Public Library! 📚 Our students had the opportunity to discover all that the library has to offer while building excitement around books, reading, and becoming lifelong learners. What a wonderful way to connect classroom learning with our Ramsey community!

Using sand trays when teaching phonics provides students with a kinesthetic-tactile approach, in addition to engaging visual and auditory methods which build strong brain connections for letter-sound mastery.

Join us for Back to School Night at Hubbard School on Thursday, September 17th at 7pm

A little creativity can make a big impact! 🎨🪨 Last week during arrival, a few of our first graders were thrilled to discover what they called the “most beautiful rocks we found!” A crowd quickly gathered as students read the positive messages and admired the creativity behind each hand painted rock. As much as they wanted to keep their treasures, they decided to place them back in nature so someone else could discover them and experience that same little moment of joy. 💛 We love seeing how student creativity can spread kindness, inspire others, and make Hubbard an even more magical place. One of the masterpieces even made its way to the art room! A beautiful reminder that art has the power to brighten someone’s day.

Safety first! 🚌 Our kindergarten students participated in a Bus Safety Drill with Ms. Gravalis as they prepare for their upcoming fall field trip to the Ramsey Library. Students practiced important bus safety expectations and learned how to be safe, responsible riders before heading out on their first field trip of the year!

In order to be able to use mathematical tools strategically, Kindergarteners in Mrs. Shand's class are spending time familiarizing with the tools and recognizing their different features. As Math Workshop unfolds throughout the year, these materials will be used for more specific mathematical purposes.

Hubbard School Play Day: Part 2 💙💛 Play Day gave students and teachers a different way to connect, learn alongside one another, and enjoy time together outside of our usual routines. Throughout the day, students had opportunities to strengthen what it means to RISE by showing respect, independence, self control, and empathy as they collaborated, communicated, solved problems, and supported one another. It was a day centered on connection, community, and learning through play. What a way to end our second week of being back at school!

Hubbard School Play Day: Part 1 Play takes many forms at Hubbard! Throughout the day, students had opportunities to read together, play math games, explore, create, and learn alongside one another. Whether they were practicing a skill through a game or getting lost in a good book, students showed that learning and play can go hand in hand.

Wishing our students, families, and staff who celebrate a sweet and joyful Rosh Hashanah!

May the new year bring health, happiness, and success to all. Shanah Tova! 🍎🍯

Today, we remember and honor the lives lost, the heroes who responded, and the strength of our community on September 11.

We will never forget.

Stories come to life in Mrs. Zuccala's class! Through puppet play in the library center, our youngest learners are building oral language, using their imaginations, and beginning to explore storytelling through play.

First graders in Mrs. Berland’s class are learning that reading is about more than the words on a page. As they grow as readers, they’re thinking about how books make them feel and sharing the emotions and connections that reading can bring.

Play is an important part of learning in preschool. Through purposeful play, our students are developing language, problem-solving skills, creativity, independence, and the social skills that help build a strong classroom community.

Hubbard brought their Picture Day best! 💙💛 From big smiles to picture perfect looks, our students were ready for their close ups today. A huge thank you to all of our wonderful volunteers who helped everything run smoothly and made Picture Day a success. Looking good, Hubbard!

Our littlest learners are getting into the swing of things! Mrs. Zuccala’s preschoolers are learning their new routines, exploring their classroom, and already feeling right at home at Hubbard.

Our first round of 3Lee Safety Patrol is on duty! Leading by example, lending a helping hand, and showing us what it means to RISE at Hubbard. We’re proud to see our third graders stepping up and taking on this important responsibility!
