Kindergartners at Hubbard School celebrated Earth Day with curious minds and caring hearts! From planting seeds to learning how to protect our planet, these little Earth heroes are making big impacts one small step at a time. #EarthDay2025
After reading The Earth Book by Todd Parr, preschoolers in Mrs. Zuccala’s class shared thoughtful ideas about how they can help protect our planet. Then, they brought their learning to life by creating their own Earths using a variety of materials in the atelier—a beautiful blend of creativity, care, and early environmental awareness.
Preschoolers in Mrs. Reid's class is bringing Todd Parr’s words to life! Through hands-on activities and thoughtful conversations, these young learners are already making a big impact.
“Everyone can help protect the Earth and make it feel good. Remember: if we take care of it, it will take care of us.” – Todd Parr
What a beautiful reminder that even our youngest students can lead the way in caring for our planet 🌏💙💚
3Lee soaked up the sunshine and some fresh air while learning about the importance of trees in our environment. After reading two articles about Earth Day, students responded to a writing prompt, reflecting on how trees help our planet and how we can protect them. Outdoor learning at its best—rooted in knowledge and growth! 💛☀️
We hope you had a wonderful Spring break! Look at those preschool smiles! Our youngest learners were all smiles and excitement as they returned to school, ready for another day of fun, friendship, and discovery.
K-Col collected data. Each index card represents one person and two eyes. First, using an index card in class, they drew a picture of their own eyes. At home, they drew pictures of each family members' eyes. In class they worked with each others' data to complete a chart. We discussed what we noticed about the number of people and eyes. We made observations about patterns of numbers and enjoyed counting by 2's.
First graders using coins is pure gold-watching them investigate, sort, and count change like young entrepreneurs in training. Math + money = magic!
Wishing all our families who celebrate Easter today a joyful and peaceful holiday. May this season of renewal bring brightness, hope, and cherished moments with loved ones.

Students in 3Lee are so proud of the opinion writing pieces they’re developing—choosing topics that matter to them, using strong reasons, and even addressing counterarguments! One student even color-coded their paragraphs as a strategy to stay organized and clearly show their thinking.

Our third graders are kicking off their Profile Project by learning from the youngest experts in our building! This week, we visited Mrs. Reid and spoke with Mrs. Zuccala to learn about the Reggio Emilia approach and gain inspiration from how our preschoolers explore big ideas through creativity and curiosity.

These moments reflect the strong sense of connection and shared learning that make our school community so special.

Our preschoolers dove into a fun and fascinating science-meets-art activity! Using magnets and paperclips, they experimented with moving paint across the paper—watching colors mix and react in real time. This hands-on experience introduced the concept of magnetism in a playful, accessible way while also encouraging creativity, fine motor development, and early problem-solving skills. It’s these kinds of joyful learning moments that spark curiosity and help build a lifelong love for discovery!
