(Part 1) What a perfect day! Spring Fest brought together our incredible Hubbard community—families, staff, and students—for an afternoon of fun, connection, and smiles.
We love how Spring Fest brought us all together—former students, current students, and future students. Hubbard is, and will always be, home. 💙💛
Our third graders got a special “early look” at Spring Fest during the end of the school day! Thank you to our amazing PTO for giving them this fun opportunity to explore and celebrate together before the big event kicked off!
Just a friendly reminder—Hubbard’s Spring Fest is tomorrow, Tuesday, May 20! We can’t wait to see you there from 3:15–6:00 PM on the front field. It’s going to be an afternoon full of fun and community! 🎟️💙💛
One third grader’s Profile Project involves shadowing Mrs. Reid’s preschool class to observe how the environment supports learning. From real and faux plants to natural materials and earthy tones like brown, green, and blue, students noticed how every element is intentionally chosen. Students even observed how different lighting creates shadows and perspective—just like in nature—offering calm, curiosity, and connection in the classroom. What a beautiful way to connect the outside world to the inside world!

Hope all our families enjoyed the Spring Sing—just look at these proud faces beaming with joy! What a special way to come together and celebrate our students’ hard work and talent.
Students in 1-Berland have launched their new Character Clubs unit in reading! Students are learning to talk and think more deeply about characters—what they say, do, and feel—and how those traits help us understand the story. We can’t wait to see their thinking grow as they read and discuss in their book clubs!
Families are in for a real treat tomorrow! Our first and second graders have been working hard and can’t wait to take the stage for the Spring Sing. Get ready for a performance filled with joy, heart, and music!
Third graders are hard at work brainstorming and working to put their Profile Projects together. Stay tuned—these projects are a true celebration of all they’ve learned!
After four days of NJSLA testing, our third graders are powering through with perseverance and pride! One of the many reasons we love our Hubbard home—our kindergartners wrote heartfelt cards of encouragement to lift their spirits and cheer them on. 💙🐏💛 Moments like this remind us how strong our school community truly is!
Before the bell rang, our staff got a special start to their Friday with a cozy morning of creativity and connection! Teachers spent time a few minutes with author and illustrator Maddie Frost, enjoying delicious treats. What a joyful way to kick off the day.
Students were excited to get their books signed by Maddie Frost!
Our second and third graders were inspired by today’s visit from Maddie Frost—author, illustrator, and creative storyteller! Maddie gave students a behind-the-scenes look at how she builds stories and characters using imagination, collage-style art, and lots of persistence. With titles like Bear in a Bathrobe and The Shared Space, she encouraged students to take risks, stay curious, and have fun with their writing. Maddie exudes confidence and brings so much fun to her presentations—she had every student completely engaged from start to finish! What a perfect way to wrap up a Friday during Teacher Appreciation Week. A huge thank you to our amazing PTO for bringing this special author visit to life!
Storytime magic came to life today as our youngest learners enjoyed a fun and engaging visit from author and illustrator Maddie Frost! Known for books like Wakey Birds and Once Upon a Zzzz, Maddie’s playful storytelling and vibrant illustrations had our preschoolers, kindergarteners, and first graders laughing, wondering, and excited to read more. She shared how she uses shapes, texture, and color to bring her characters to life—and reminded us that every big idea starts with a little sketch!
Disney day in 1-Berland was truly magical ✨🪄
Reading and building early literacy skills is that much sweeter with a reading buddy! Mrs. Zuccala and Ms. Jordan’s classes teamed up to collaborate and help spark a love of reading in our youngest learners at Hubbard School.
Did someone say live provocation? Our preschoolers are taking such thoughtful care of our honorary guinea pigs—building empathy, responsibility, and connection through everyday moments that nurture both heart and mind.
Hubbard is truly home. Today, a proud alum returned to teach her younger brother’s class about Cinco de Mayo—blending culture, building empathy, and strengthening connections. Learning about traditions outside our own helps us grow as curious, compassionate, and connected members of our community.
Spring Sing rehearsals are in full swing, and we can’t wait to showcase our songs for our families and school 💙💛.
