April is School Library Month, and we’re celebrating Mrs. Erica Lakind—our incredible Library Media Specialist here at Hubbard School! 📚 With 20 years of dedication to Ramsey, Mrs. Lakind creates a welcoming space that sparks curiosity, encourages critical thinking, and builds a love of reading in every student. Thank you, Mrs. Lakind, for making our library the heart of lifelong learning! 💙💛
Engaged learners in action! Students in 2-Weiss were eager to participate and share their thinking during today’s lesson.
Third graders are learning all about data—and today, they explored what a line plot is, what it’s used for, and how it’s similar to other math tools. One student made a great connection by noticing that line plots remind them of fractions because of how the number line is partitioned into equal parts!
T-2 days until our 3rd Grade Celebration of Cultures Concert! We’re ready to take the stage and shine!
Mrs. Murphy’s class is diving into contractions! Students used sentence strips to build word equations like you + will = you’ll—and even added a bandaid on the apostrophe to show what’s missing. What a creative and memorable way to learn how words come together!
All smiles after soaking up the sun and fun at recess!
Students in 3Jordan are writing detectives! By studying an exemplary piece of writing, they’re noticing strong word choices, structure, and craft techniques they can apply to their own work. These intentional reflections help students grow their writing and think like real authors.
Wear Blue tomorrow in support of Autism Awareness Month! 💙
Last Friday we wrapped up our March spirit days with "Our Future is Bright!" Students and staff lit up the halls in their brightest neon gear to celebrate all the possibilities ahead. It was a fun and vibrant way to end the week! ❤️🧡🩷💜💙🩵💚💛
Books, buddies, and big smiles! Last week Mrs. Finnegan's second graders shared their love of reading with Mrs. Reid's preschoolers in a heartwarming storytime. These sweet moments spark confidence, connection, and a lifelong love of learning-for readers big and small!
Don’t let a little rain get in the way of a wonderful weekend! Wishing our Ramsey community cozy moments, big smiles, and plenty of joy no matter the weather! We can't wait to see our students on Monday, ready for another great week of learning! 💙💛
Check out these artists! Ms. Megna inspires students every day to slow down, think creatively, and always strive for their best. Her message of “Quality over quantity” extends far beyond the art room and into every classroom at Hubbard—reminding us all to “Take your time, do your best!”
Students in 2-Royle are fully engaged during math time—asking questions, sharing strategies, and thinking critically as they tackle new challenges together!
Mrs. Crispino and Mrs. Fiedeldey, our incredible instructional coaches, work tirelessly behind the scenes to collaborate and share innovative ideas with one another. Recently, our third grade teachers brought one of those ideas to life—applying a strategy from the coaches to support book clubs. Now, students set purposeful goals before meeting with their groups, whether it’s writing a summary, diving into character study, or focusing on a specific reading strategy. A small shift with a big impact! 📚✨
At Hubbard, our character trait of the month is perseverance—pushing through even when something feels tricky. One of our youngest learners reminded us that sometimes the biggest growth comes from the smallest victories. 💪✨ Learning to button up a new coat might seem simple, but it took patience, practice, and determination. Now, the proud smile says it all! It’s these everyday moments that help build confidence, independence, and the mindset to keep trying. 🧠💙 How are you showing perseverance this month?
Miss Beatty, a student teacher from Ramapo College, has been a fantastic addition to 1-Berland! Here she is in action, supporting students with care and enthusiasm. Hubbard School loves supporting aspiring educators as they grow into tomorrow’s teachers!
We can’t wait to see our third graders shine in their final Celebration of Cultures performance as Hubbard students! This special event honors their hard work and highlights the rich diversity they’ve explored throughout their learning journey. Stay tuned!!
Our third grade families are in for a treat! Students are wrapping up their final rehearsals for the upcoming Celebration of Cultures show. Not only does this performance align with Unit 3 in reading and writing—Culture, Curiosity, and Research—but it also beautifully bridges the gap between classroom learning and real-world connection, showcasing the rich stories and traditions that shape who we are. 🌍💫
Students in Mrs. Weiss’s class were on the move today—literally! They practiced measuring their jumps using inches, feet, and yards, turning math into a fun and active learning experience.
In Mrs. Chantaski’s first grade class, morning meeting is more than just a routine—it’s a thoughtful way to start the day and build a strong classroom community. Students use the Mood Meter to express how they’re feeling with words like “ecstatic” or “a bit worried,” helping them develop emotional awareness and self-reflection. Most importantly, this daily practice creates a safe and supportive space where students feel seen, heard, and valued. When children feel safe to share, they’re more ready to learn, grow, and support one another.
