Our first few weeks of school included getting-to-know-you activities, using the 5-finger test to find just-right books, building reading stamina, and playing indoor recess games. #hghuskies #dg58pride

Teach the Teacher continues…with music! Mr. J. taught us how to play the song Seven Nation Army on piano, and Miss Q. showed us how to make maracas out of recycled plastic eggs, rice, and spoons! 🎹🪇#hghuskies #dg58pride
Last week during Teach the Teacher, Miss M. taught us the parts of a violin, and Mr. P. taught us how to fish! Both prepared for their lessons with visuals. Miss M. made worksheets with diagrams and Mr. P. created a slideshow with videos. So professional!👩🏼🏫 #hghuskies #dg58pride

It’s time again for Teach the Teacher! I learned about sea turtles from Miss O., karate from Miss W., and bugs from Mr. K. These Ts put a lot of effort into their lessons. Mr. K even passed out bug stickers to students who answered questions correctly! #hghuskies #dg58pride
We were so lucky to have Mrs. Cristobal come back to HG to be our Mystery Reader today! What a great story teller, as she brought a wordless picture book and created her own story. We even learned lessons from the book! Thank you so much! @sandycristobal7 #hghuskies #dg58pride
