We just had the most exciting few week wait in Kindergarten! Students spent the last few weeks studying the life cycle of an egg. Classrooms were equipped with incubators and each received a dozen or so eggs. Students carefully studied the eggs each day. They learned that the eggs need to gently turn each day in order for the chicks to develop, use quiet voices in the classroom and the critical temperature the eggs must be kept at in order for the chicks to have the best chance to develop. They were thrilled to witness the hatching process and be joined in their class by joyful peeping of their newly hatched friends!

Friday was M for "Magic Show Day" and the kids were surprised with a magic show preformed by Nate the Great and they absolutely LOVED IT! There were giggles and shocked "ohhhhs & ahhhh's" pouring out of the gym as the kids watched in awe.

If you would like to volunteer to help with field day, it is on May 24th, with a rain date of May 28th. If your license has NOT been scanned to be a volunteer, please come to Door 1 at the ELC by Wednesday May 17th to get your ID scanned.

Thank you to the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation!!!!! The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation launched the TFT Literacy Program in 2008. Our Program is a year-round initiative to support children in need across our Nation. The Program offers our Nation’s most precious resource – our children – the ability to compete academically and to succeed in life by providing them direct access to books and educational resources that enhance their ability to read and communicate effectively. This Program brings the joy of reading to these children and serves as an important tool in breaking the cycle of poverty. The TFT Literacy Program distributed 4.1 million books in 2023 and has distributed over 57 million books to disadvantaged children since the Program’s inception. Our school was the lucky recipient of books from this amazing charity and EVERY SINGLE KINDERGARTENER will come home with a brand new hard cover book from their donation for their at home libraries!!!!!

Lost and found!!!! A special shout out to the parent that came in and organized it last night! Please email SRO D at dserrano@hobart.k12.in.us if you see something that belongs to your child and he will get it back to them

Did you know that you as parents can nominate a staff member to be recognized as someone who is Being Excellent On Purpose? Dr. Buffington LOVES to know about and celebrate the positive!

The School City of Hobart Building Brickies' goal is to strengthen families by empowering parents as their child’s first and best teachers. Every day, we advocate for families so every child-in every neighborhood-can thrive.
