Husky Highlight
November 11, 2019
A Note from Ms. Moulton
Greetings Hosmer Families,
First, a belated thank you to all of the Veterans in the Hosmer community. Thank you for your service to our country.
This week we begin Parent/Teacher Conferences. During these meetings, teachers will share standards-based information regarding student progress and will also share diagnostic results from the iReady online assessment. iReady also includes supplemental and personalized lessons that students can complete at home. If you are interested in accessing this at home, your child's teacher will be able to provide login information.
There is a PTO meeting TONIGHT in the Hosmer Library and our November Site Council meeting will be held next Monday after school. During that meeting, we will provide feedback on the District Curriculum Accommodation Plan. All or welcome.
Finally, while we do often include photos in the Husky Highlight, more are posted on our school Facebook and Instagram accounts. Please follow us to see the awesome things that are happening here.
Sincerely,
Erin Moulton
Wacky Hair/Hat Day Recap! (Better Late Than Never!)
What Did the Husky See?
Hello Hosmer Huskies! This week I spent time in Mrs. Martignetti’s PreK classroom. We had a fun week learning about pumpkins, rhyming and practicing our fine motor skills. The kids even built me a dog house in the Block Center. I made a new friend, Cherry, the classroom cheetah. At the end of the week, we had a dance party. Those kids love to dance!
Best wishes!
The Husky
