Books, buddies, and big smiles! Last week Mrs. Finnegan's second graders shared their love of reading with Mrs. Reid's preschoolers in a heartwarming storytime. These sweet moments spark confidence, connection, and a lifelong love of learning-for readers big and small!
Wear Blue tomorrow in support of Autism Awareness Month! 💙
Don’t let a little rain get in the way of a wonderful weekend! Wishing our Ramsey community cozy moments, big smiles, and plenty of joy no matter the weather! We can't wait to see our students on Monday, ready for another great week of learning! 💙💛
Check out these artists! Ms. Megna inspires students every day to slow down, think creatively, and always strive for their best. Her message of “Quality over quantity” extends far beyond the art room and into every classroom at Hubbard—reminding us all to “Take your time, do your best!”
Students in 2-Royle are fully engaged during math time—asking questions, sharing strategies, and thinking critically as they tackle new challenges together!
At Hubbard, our character trait of the month is perseverance—pushing through even when something feels tricky. One of our youngest learners reminded us that sometimes the biggest growth comes from the smallest victories. 💪✨ Learning to button up a new coat might seem simple, but it took patience, practice, and determination. Now, the proud smile says it all! It’s these everyday moments that help build confidence, independence, and the mindset to keep trying. 🧠💙 How are you showing perseverance this month?
We can’t wait to see our third graders shine in their final Celebration of Cultures performance as Hubbard students! This special event honors their hard work and highlights the rich diversity they’ve explored throughout their learning journey. Stay tuned!!
Our third grade families are in for a treat! Students are wrapping up their final rehearsals for the upcoming Celebration of Cultures show. Not only does this performance align with Unit 3 in reading and writing—Culture, Curiosity, and Research—but it also beautifully bridges the gap between classroom learning and real-world connection, showcasing the rich stories and traditions that shape who we are. 🌍💫
Students in Mrs. Weiss’s class were on the move today—literally! They practiced measuring their jumps using inches, feet, and yards, turning math into a fun and active learning experience.
In Mrs. Chantaski’s first grade class, morning meeting is more than just a routine—it’s a thoughtful way to start the day and build a strong classroom community. Students use the Mood Meter to express how they’re feeling with words like “ecstatic” or “a bit worried,” helping them develop emotional awareness and self-reflection. Most importantly, this daily practice creates a safe and supportive space where students feel seen, heard, and valued. When children feel safe to share, they’re more ready to learn, grow, and support one another.
Miss Beatty, a student teacher from Ramapo College, has been a fantastic addition to 1-Berland! Here she is in action, supporting students with care and enthusiasm. Hubbard School loves supporting aspiring educators as they grow into tomorrow’s teachers!
Mrs. Crispino and Mrs. Fiedeldey, our incredible instructional coaches, work tirelessly behind the scenes to collaborate and share innovative ideas with one another. Recently, our third grade teachers brought one of those ideas to life—applying a strategy from the coaches to support book clubs. Now, students set purposeful goals before meeting with their groups, whether it’s writing a summary, diving into character study, or focusing on a specific reading strategy. A small shift with a big impact! 📚✨
First graders took on the Newark Museum with wide eyes and curious minds! From art to science, they explored, discovered, and soaked in every moment of wonder. What a memorable adventure!
📢 Hubbard PTO Meeting – Tomorrow at 9:15 AM!
Join us in the Hubbard Cafeteria for our monthly PTO meeting. Don’t forget to bring your driver’s license for sign-in. See you there! 😊
What makes Hubbard so special? It’s the little moments—like taking a quick break to visit our flurry friend! No matter the classroom, students are always welcomed with open arms (and paws!) by teachers and staff alike, reminding us that kindness, connection, and comfort are part of the everyday magic at Hubbard School.
Hope you had a wonderful 3-day weekend! We sure missed these smiling faces. While students were off, Hubbard teachers joined forces with our colleagues from Tisdale and Dater to collaborate, learn, and grow together. We’re excited to bring new ideas and fresh energy into our classrooms this week!
Collaborative reflection on the morning's professional development. Using human-centered design strategies to synthesize and share our learning across all 3 elementary school! #coverstorymockup
Yesterday’s beautiful weather was perfect for some outdoor PE fun! Students enjoyed the fresh air while staying active and engaged in movement.
Mrs. Reid’s preschool class embraces the Reggio-inspired approach by documenting students’ thoughts and creations, making their learning visible within the classroom. By scribing their words and displaying their work, students see their ideas honored and valued, fostering a sense of ownership and pride. Loose parts play further encourages creativity, problem-solving, and collaboration—turning everyday materials into meaningful exploration!
Kindergarten students in Señor Becker’s Spanish class are reviewing their assessment on body parts and numbers vocabulary. As they check their answers, they are reinforcing their learning by blending both units, building confidence in their Spanish skills, and making meaningful connections between words and numbers!
