LIBRARY VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

This school year, our School Librarian position was changed from a full-time position to a .7 position (3 1/2 days). Therefore, Mrs. Towns has very limited time to shelve books. She would love it if some people could volunteer to help her shelve them. Whether it be a one time volunteer, a weekly, or daily, we need your help. Can you give 30 minutes? one hour? a full day?

Please contact Mrs. Towns at mctowns@hudson.k12.ma.us or, just call the office and leave your name and number.

MATH NIGHT

Over 200 people attended the Mulready Math Night! Everyone had fun playing math games, doing puzzles, doing an art activity with shapes, and having their pictures taken with Hundred Hero! There were board games and math games distributed between the gym and cafeteria. In the hallway there was and Estimation Station and math books to be read.


It was great to see families together, in person and having so much fun with math!

WALK TO SCHOOL AND BRUINS DAY

Last week was a busy week. On Wednesday, we had over 100 children participate in Walk to School Day. It was also Bruins Day at school.

MRS. REGH'S FRIDAY SCIENTIST

Each week a student in Mrs. Regh's class chooses an experiment. The student follows a format for a lab report and review it with the class. The student then performs the experiment, reviews the outcome with the class, and then answers questions. This week, a boy did two experiments. One was soaking a gummy worm in water and washing how grew. The other was putting a fizzy tablet in water and see hoe the reaction made and M and M container explode like a rocket.

mrs. Calvanese's Friday scientist

Each week a student in Mrs. Calvanese's class chooses an experiment. The student follows a format for a lab report and review it with the class.
