Multicultural Night

We have such talented students at Hosp!! It was so fun to watch all the dances, hear the beautiful singing and listen to facts about different places. I'm so proud of all the students who participated!! It takes a lot of courage to get on stage in front of a large crowd. Sorry that some of the pictures are blurry. I took lots of action shots.
















Turkey Math

Wednesday Library Activity

Parents-
We need your help on Wednesday! Our class will go to the library from 1:00-2:15 on Wednesday to do Thanksgiving activities with Mrs. Kumar.  She has planned an afternoon of fun, but we need help running the stations.  As of now we only have 2 parent volunteers.  If you have a cleared background check we would love to have you help out.  
After we finish the stations we will check out our library books.  Please make sure all library books are returned by Wednesday morning.  

Thank you for all your help!
