Hampstead Hill seeks to be a safe, nurturing, diverse, family-friendly neighborhood school with rigorous, effective academic
programs and exciting, engaging extracurricular activities. We believe all parents want the same thing for their children: more and
better opportunities for college and career. We believe in the importance of the arts, and we want our students to be great
communicators, listeners and writers. Our students will be forward thinkers, persistent, responsible, caring, dependable and healthy
members of the greater community.

Mission Statement

and throughout Baltimore City. Our talented staff uses research-based curriculum to develop and implement rigorous lesson plans
that continuously raise the academic bar for our students. Our whole school community is dedicated to working together to

STRONG SCHOOLS MARYLAND IN ACTION AT HHA

Approximately 57 letters from HHA’s teachers were stamped and ready to send to Annapolis in support
of funding for public schools that is adequate and equitable. HHA’s “Team of Ten” (actually more like 15
or so at this point) meets monthly after school and in the evening to educate themselves about the
needs and costs associated with building a world-class public education system. Want to be a part of the
work or just write a letter to your elected official? We need you! Contact HHA’s SSM Leader Jill
Vasbinder-Morrison at [email protected] for more information.

special thanks to everyone who took the safety walk on November 29th with Councilman Zeke Cohen. Annapolis
Councilman Cohen was able to see first-hand the lighting problems in the blocks around HHA. As a result

of the walk, a team of HHA parents, staff and the BUILD organizers met with Councilman Cohen's chief of

staff, constituent services director, and Latino Outreach Coordinator to discuss the origins of LED lighting in Baltimore and the next steps that can

be taken to make sure that our neighborhoods are fully illuminated. The BUILD team and Councilman Cohen's staff are working together to set up

meetings with the Department of Transportation, BGE and the Audubon Society to learn more about the impacts of the current lighting system and

possible alternatives. If you are interested in joining any of these efforts, please reach out to BUILD organizer Rachel Brooks at

information about the future use of the former Canton Middle School building at 801 South collecting hats and gloves for

students in intermediate and middle grades at this location in the next 2-3 years. The
delegation and district leadership are willing to have the building operated as a school by
the Baltimore Curriculum Project and HHA. City Hall, North Avenue, the 46th District
Delegation, the Canton Community Association, the Brewer’s Hill Community Association,
the Latino Provider’s Network, and HHA’s staff, parents and teachers have all been very
encouraging. Remaining questions include when to conduct a second feasibility study to
turn on all of the HVAC, electrical, and other systems to determine more precise costs,
continuing discussion with local banks to secure financing, and determining whether it
makes sense to wholly own the building or to sign a “utilities only” rental agreement with
City Schools. The district wants to ensure that the building will remain a school for decades
to come, which would be part of any agreement to sell the site to BCP. Details will follow in
future newsletters.

send your child to school with a warm coat each day. Any winter accessories (hats, gloves, scarves) should be labeled with your child’s name.
Thank you for all you do to help your child at home!

KINDERGARTEN

Students will read about winter, plants and problem solving. They will also practice counting
by 1's, 2's, 5's and 10's as well as addition and subtraction facts. Additonally, they will get
ready to celebrate the 100th day of school. Please keep reading with your child every night and
don't forget to look at the daily homework charts. Please help your child be independent by
having your child practice zipping a coat, buttoning, tying shoes and problem solving. Another
way to help your child with independence is to give your child jobs to do around the house.

GRADE 1

very much appreciated, children like to eat their own snack. Also, since children go out each day for recess, please send your child to school
dressed warm with the ability to fasten their own coats. Even when the temperatures are low, exercise and fresh air are important.

GRADE 3

Reading: Students will begin January by reviewing the elements of a story. They will begin each story by reviewing the main characters, character
traits, setting, plot and solution. Two to three times per week, they will write about what they are reading. This will help students analyze the text
to get a deeper understanding. To support this at home, please review the writing assignments with your child when they are sent home on
Thursdays. Please continue to read with your child every day. While reading, ask questions regarding the characters, traits of the main characters,
setting, plot and solution to each story. This reinforcement at home will help students with comprehension in the classroom.

Language/Social Studies: Students are practicing using correct punctuation for dialogue in their stories. The stories are increasing in length as more
details and information is added about the characters. In social studies, students have learned about the ways they can be a good citizen in their
communities. They will begin a portfolio project about famous Baltimoreans. Coach class is held every Thursday morning from 7:30-8 am. All are
welcome to attend.

6

Math: Students are working hard to master the steps in long division. Please have your child complete
homework on a daily basis as an opportunity to have extra practice at home, especially with the
challenging long division. Students will benefit from the extra support. Coach class is available Monday
afternoons from 2:50-3:20 pm. As a reminder, have your child practice facts at home to build fluency,
especially with larger numbers like 6, 7, 8 and 9. Here is to a fabulous start to a new year!

GRADE 4

Reading: Some students are reading the Wizard of Oz and others are reading a fiction story that takes
place in Alaska or non-fiction articles about animals and endangered species. All students are practicing
how to read fluently, how to understand the information they are reading and how to make inferences
based on the text. They are answering comprehension questions daily in writing and are using high level
comprehension skills to share their thoughts on each story.

Language/Social Studies: Students are learning how to apply grammar skills into well-written essays. In 3rd grade students had a
addition, they are learning important argumentative writing skills and using these skills to identify great time on a recent visit
problems with arguments. Students then rewrite the arguments so they are clear to the reader. Keep up to the Highlandtown Train
the great work. In social studies, students finished the social studies assessment and will begin the final
unit on the formation of the American colonies. Students will have a cumulative test at the end of January. Garden at the Conkling
Street fire station
Math: Some students are learning about measurement. They converted, added, subtracted, multiplied,
divided and found the fraction of measurements. Following this unit, they take the end-of-book test so
they can move into the second half of the 4th grade program. Other students are working on operations,
including multiplying 2-digit numbers times other 2-digit numbers and long division. After operations, they
will start to learn about fractions. Other students finished a unit on time and are beginning a project on data
analysis using bar graphs and line plots.

GRADE 5

Reading: Students are currently reading fictional texts and continuing to practice and improve
upon their ability to analyze plot structure, characterization and themes. After winter break, all
students will complete a four to five paragraph essay that analyzes a work of literature previously
read in class. Each day, please check your child's agenda to ensure that you are aware of all
homework assignments, upcoming events and/or upcoming assessments. In addition, each
Friday, please check your child's reading grade report to monitor your child's progress in reading.
We hope everyone had a wonderful winter break!

Language/Science: Students are in the middle of Unit 6 learning to write more complex logic-
based arguments. These writing assignments build on the work they did with deductions in the
last unit. They are also critiquing arguments that have insufficient or misleading evidence. In
science, students finished the unit on Earth and Sun with a Shadow Lab. They did an excellent job
displaying and analyzing data gathered from shadows throughout the day. This month, they will
study the changing patterns in stars throughout the seasons and the water cycle.

5th grade students are shown dissecting Math: Students finished working with whole number and decimal operations. They focused on
owl pellets in Nature Exploration long division, multiplication and place value. Next, they will work on adding and subtracting unlike
fractions. Students will gain experience finding the least common denominator and solving both
numeric and word problems. Our students are up to the challenge of this difficult math work.

GRADE 6

Humanities: Students are currently working on their National History Day projects, which are due on January 25th. They are finishing their research
and will soon start to actually create their websites or exhibits. Students will also complete the books they have been reading for homework, Walk
Two Moons (for the Blue Jays and Broncos) and Romeo and Juliet (for the Tigers).

Math: Who doesn't love a good deal? Students are working on ratio and proportion which involves unit price, unit rate and percentage. Students
will be able to take two deals down to the unit price in order to see where they can spend their money the wisest. They will also set up a store to
figure out discounts. What a great skill to have!

Science: Students are midway through the unit, How Can I Smell Things from a Distance? Students have explored the three states of matter
through various experiments and demonstrations and have also developed evidence to prove that air has mass and volume. Ask them to explain
their evidence to you or to conduct a home demonstration. Next, students will further explore the movement of molecules. Do you enjoy the smell
of coffee, popcorn, or chocolate chip cookies? Did you know that we are only able to smell matter in the form of a gas? Ask your student how this
can be true!

7

GRADE 7

Language Arts: Students are working to finish their National History Day projects. They have evaluated primary and secondary sources using
Noodletools to create an annotated bibliography and cannot wait to start building their projects. Everyone is looking forward to the final result.

Math: Students will start the unit Ratios and Proportional Relationships. They will work on computing unit rates, complex fractions, proportional
relationships and word problems with ratio and percentages.

Science: Students will continue with the physics unit: Why Do Some Things Stop While Others Keep Going? They will learn about chemical and
electrical energy before the close of the unit mid-month. Students can expect to have a unit review and test prior to the introduction of Unit 3 in
life science.

Asiane Phillips Article by 7th grade student Asiane Phillips

My name is Asiane Phillips and I have been at HHA since kindergarten. During my time at HHA, I've learned so many
things that will help me prepare for my dream to be a lawyer. In 7th grade, I have Springboard math, IQWST science
and Springboard ELA. In my future life, I would like to become a lawyer. The class that helps me most with this
endeavor is Mrs. Locke-Jones’ class, and my work on the National History Day project. In her class, I can practice
analyzing information, finding evidence and presenting my claim. I also have to analyze sources and create my own
analysis.

When I become a lawyer, I will probably be the best because Mrs. Locke-Jones’ class will have prepared me for this
career.

GRADE 8

Language Arts: Students continue to work on their NHD projects. They have been working in class
and out of class on research and will finalize their projects by mid-January. Please join us at
Student Celebration Night on January 25th to see the students’ hard work.

Math: Students are concluding the 2nd unit by solving systems of equations in various ways:
graphing, elimination and substitution. Students will then begin the functions unit. In this unit,
students will learn how to define a function, how to create a function, and how functions appear in
the real-world. Ask your student about solving systems by graphing.

Algebra I - Students are entering the 3rd unit entitled Extension of Linear Concepts. In this unit,
students will apply much of their understanding from the functions unit. They will extend this
understanding to piecewise functions, systems of equations, and graphing inequalities in real-
world situations. Ask your student about the pet store problem.

Science: As students return to school in the New Year, they will set 2nd quarter academic and 8th grade students work intently on
character trait goals which they will work to accomplish by January 19th. Students will continue to their National History Day projects
explore the unit 2 question, How Will It Move? by investigating various devices to determine some
of the forces involved in their motion. By the end of the month, students will use graphs to explain
how forces can start, stop and change motion.

LEADERS GO PLACES

The middle school had a great 1st quarter. 74% of the students reached LGP levels and 154 students participated in the first LGP trip to Hershey
Park. Our goal is to continue to that success. The 2nd quarter is passing by quickly, and January 19th is the final deadline for LGP status for the
2nd quarter. The Recognition Ceremony is scheduled for January 25th. There is time for all students to reach level, but not much time.

The 2nd quarter trip will be a combination of theater and outdoor fun. LGP will visit the Weinberg Center for the Arts in Frederick, Maryland, for a
comedy show about the science of pirates. After the show, they will head to the mountains and Whitetail Ski Resort in Mercersburg, Pennsylvania
to enjoy two hours of snow tubing.

As a reminder, to earn this type of reward, students must have a 3.0 GPA, an 80% positive score on Class Dojo, and at least two hours of
community service completed by January 19th. This will be a great trip, but the work that students do to earn this opportunity is not easy. Any
student who reaches the goals in scholarship (GPA), leadership (Dojo points), and citizenship (service learning) should be very proud of themselves.
We certainly are. Let's finish strong in the 2nd quarter!

LIBRARY

There is lots of learning going on in the HHA library! Elementary students are writing their own
Gingerbread stories, learning how to code and writing stories online to share with each other. Middle
school students are working on their National History Day projects, how to code, writing online
stories, and practicing their language skills in Spanish or French. Remind your students to come check
out books before and after school!

Uniform Items - If your child borrowed a uniform item from school

due to an accident or otherwise, please send it back as soon as
possible. We need those items to be available for other students who

may need a change of clothes. We also are accepting gently worn
uniform items. Please bring the donations to the office.

NATURE EXPLORATION

Kindergarten students will learn about hibernation using their cubbies as caves. Elementary students are investigating animal adaptations, and are
looking at both behavioral and physical adaptations. Grade 5 students are learning about natural resources and middle school students are
investigating buoyancy and water displacement by building and sailing boats made from materials found in the park. Please make sure your child
comes to school with coats, hats and gloves because they go outside whenever the weather permits.

ENRICHMENT NEWS

Most of us believe that creative thinkers have an advantage in life. We often admire the work of others when it shows true originality.
Unfortunately, many people believe that creativity is something you either have or you don’t. The truth is that parents and teachers can cultivate
creativity. “Creativity is one of the highest forms of human expression, and, while society views creativity as a very important skill, nurturing
creativity in children is often forgotten.” - National Association for Gifted Children. Check out these intriguing passages from a recent 4th grade
creative writing exercise to write an original adaptation of an ancient tale. Can you imagine what happens next? Can you visualize what may have
come before? Enjoy!

“In the days when I lived, which people say are the Days of Old Time, there was a king greater than the ordinary, my father. He was one of the
many greats who ruled most of the sea. His kingdom was so beautiful. His sea roof glistened as the sun ran over the earth. The coral was as full of
life as the trees up above. The sand ran from place to place, and from time to time. When the moon shone down at the sea, the moonlight was as
bright as the king's crown.” (Talahni)

“You do not have to give up your daughter for this kingdom. Even if this chaos happens, the ill will be upon me, your king, not you. I shall be her
guardian, and I will visit her in the fall and spring. She will be left in the woods with her nurse, Lavarcam, and if someone talks to her, the
punishment will be fatal.” (William)

“One afternoon when I was in Paris pedaling on my bike, I passed a dark and gloomy alley. Then I saw a spooky shadow. I told myself it was just
nothing, but my heart doesn’t always listen to my mind. I knew it was wrong, but I turned around and went down the shadowed alley.” (Giuliana)

“The king yelled, ‘Tell me the future old man or I will send my men to kill you!’ The magician replied, “I see a baby who will be born tonight who
will bring great sadness to the king and destroy the kingdom. She will have rainbow hair and a unicorn birthmark on her leg. Her name is
Miranda.” (Jilma)

“When we were on the bus ride home, I was imagining the boy Mia was talking about at school. I got home, ran to my room and grabbed a paper. I
took out all of my drawing tools and starting drawing the boy Mia described. It took me about two hours to draw him. As I drew him, I wondered if
he was real.” (Jordin)

child’s ability to be creative, curious and imaginative.

STEAM ENRICHMENT

Students in STEAM Enrichment have been engaging in various projects.
During the fall, students researched habitat requirements for some relatively
unknown species. After recording their habitat needs, using modeling clay,
paint, leaves, twigs and pipe cleaners, students designed 3-D habitat models
for their species. Recently, they have started engineering design challenges
with LEGOs.

Students display their 3-D habitat models for relatively ESOL DEPARTMENT NEWS
unknown species including viverrid, colobus, tapir and
Starting the week of January 8th, ESOL students will take the ACCESS for ELLs
kori bustard (left to right). 2.0 assessment. ACCESS for ELLs 2.0 is a secure large-scale English language
proficiency assessment administered to grade kindergarten-12 students who
have been identified as English language learners (ELLs). It is given annually
to monitor students' progress in acquiring academic English. ACCESS for ELLs
2.0 assesses each of the four language domains of listening, speaking,
reading and writing. Testing, for the majority of students, will take place for
only 2 weeks starting at 8:30 am. Please make sure that your student is well-
rested, has breakfast, and is on time for school to ensure that they are well-
prepared to take this assessment.

SPECIAL EDUCATION

January 4th is World Braille Day! World Braille Day celebrates the birth of Louis Braille, inventor of the
reading and writing system used by millions of blind and partially sighted people all over the globe.
Though not a public holiday in any country, World Braille Day provides an opportunity for teachers,
charities and non-government organizations to raise awareness about issues facing the blind and the
importance of continuing to produce works in Braille, providing the blind with access to the same
reading and learning opportunities as the sighted.

CLUB/ACTIVITIES NEWS

As a reminder, students will not be permitted to join clubs that meet on the same day.

BUILDERS CLUB

The Builders Club sponsored an Ugly Sweater Day to raise money for the Pennies for Patients campaign that will be held in the spring. There were
participants across all of the grades. A total of $244 was raised. Thanks to all who participated. The Builders Club wore their ugly sweaters to
Future Care to create snowy owls with the residents. Everyone enjoyed making the crafts and spending time together.

Staff and students participated in Ugly Sweater Day

STEAM CLUB

Kindergartener students spent the last two weeks of STEAM club designing their own animals,
considering the adaptations and environments they learned about this session. Grade 1
students learned about birds that do not migrate and built bird feeders. They also learned and
mimicked the art of Paul Klee, learned about hibernation, dissected owl pellets and made
slime. Grade 2 students learned about different seasons and about different animals and their
habitats, and grade 3 and 4 students finished the session learning about the principles of
ecology (Energy, Cycles, Diversity, Community, Interrelationships, Change, Adaptations, and
Care) paired with math and other scientific concepts. Students completed an adaptation relay
race where they then categorized their “prizes” and analyzed patterns across their results.
During the last week, students played environmental stewardship activities and created
artwork for a display centered on Appreciating Earth’s Gifts.

 No crossing in the middle of the street. Cross your child at the corner. Do not encourage your child to get to school by

crossing in the middle of the street! This can be extremely dangerous for your child.
 Please remind your child, especially older children, that ball playing is not allowed in front of the school or on the blacktop

during school arrival and dismissal times. Also, ask them to be mindful of smaller children to avoid accidentally bumping
into them.

SCHOOL-PARENT COMPACT

Each month, the news magazine will feature a part of the HHA School-Parent Compact. This month, we feature the HHA student responsibilities.

Hampstead Hill Academy staff work to provide a rigorous, engaging academic program that meets the needs and challenges of each student. A
nurturing learning environment that promotes academic excellence is central to our work. Parents send us the very best children they have, so
students come to school as they are. Hampstead Hill Academy seeks to add value to what students know and are able to do. We recognize that
each family wants the same thing – more and better opportunities for their children. As a school community, we know a quality education is the
way to get there. Good schools are essential to the collective future of our neighborhoods, cities, states and nation.

Student Responsibilities

As a student of Hampstead Hill Academy, it is important that I work hard. I know that the effort I put into my school work will increase how much I learn. I will:
 Respect all members of the Hampstead Hill Academy learning community, including all staff and students.
 Follow the Hampstead Hill Academy Schoolwide Expectations (a copy is included in the Parent Handbook) and classroom expectations.
 Complete and return all schoolwork, homework and makeup assignments when due.
 Not attempt to locate or view inappropriate content on the Internet.
 Take responsibility for my personal belongings and respect other people’s property as well as the school facility.
 Share information with school staff and administration that might affect the health or safety of anyone in the school community. This includes if a student is

being bullied.
 Ask questions whenever needed.
 As a middle school student (if it is applicable), I will be work to keep the five promises of the Leaders Go Places Program; to contribute to the common good, to

persevere, to conduct myself with honor and integrity, to produce quality work and to make no excuses.

you had to choose one of your passions or one thing you care most

about in this world, what would it be? (Other questions to get your

children thinking about their passions include: What am I good at?

Theme 2: Setting Goals
What is something you accomplished or created that you worked very hard at completing, and what did it take to succeed? Looking back, was it
worth the effort? Why or why not? Meeting or achieving goals often involves taking risks. Give an example of a risk you took to meet a goal.
What kinds of risks are not okay? Do you think it's better to set lower goals and have almost assured success OR is it better to risk failure by setting
higher goals? Why? Using the SMART Goal formula, create and share one goal you may have for the second semester as it relates to social or
extra-curricular activities. (SMART: specific, measurable, action oriented, realistic, and time-limited) Using the SMART Goal formula, create and
share one goal you may have for the second semester as it relates to academics. (SMART: specific, measurable, action oriented, realistic, and time-
limited)

Theme 3: Persevering and Showing Resilience in the Face of Challenges
What is a challenge you encountered on your way to meeting one of the goals you have had in the past? Who can help you when you run into
obstacles on your path to achieving your goals? How do you define success? How do you know that you succeeded in reaching a goal?
Sometimes, despite our best plans and efforts, we fail anyway. Tell about a time when you tried to accomplish something but came up short.
Describe what happened, how you dealt with disappointment, what you learned from it, and what, if anything, positive came out of it.

Theme 4: Compliments and No Name Calling Week
During the week of January 16th, teachers will dedicate circles to the 2nd Annual school-wide observance of No Name Calling Week. This national
campaign aims to reduce name calling and teasing and increase compliments and positive social interaction among students. The Open Doors Club
is sponsoring a series of dress out days as a way to bring attention to the national campaign and raise funds for other club initiatives benefiting
HHA. Below are circle prompts about compliments and questions related to the No Name Calling Week Dress Out themes.

Compliments - One thing we want to remember during No Name Calling Week (and always) is to be sure to give each other ‘put-ups’ or
compliments instead of put-downs. What is the nicest compliment you have ever received or given someone else? Think of one compliment you
could share with a staff member at school. Who would you compliment, and what would you say? Who is someone in your home, neighborhood,
or city that you could compliment, and what would you say?

STUDENT ATTENDANCE

HHA is serious about attendance. Our talented staff cannot teach unless students attend school. There is a district-wide focus on student
attendance. Again this year, there will be mandatory hearings at school headquarters for the parents of students with poor attendance. Each

month the newsletter will include this chart so students and parents can review attendance averages.

Congratulations to the 2nd Grade Team for having the highest attendance average for December.
The students in this grade level will have a PTO sponsored pizza party.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM COUNCILMAN COHEN’S OFFICE

We hope you are enjoying time with family and friends as we wrap up this year! This past month Councilman Cohen’s family welcomed baby Maya
into the world. We are all very excited about the newest addition to Team Cohen. At the end of November, Councilman Cohen attended a lighting
and safety walk at Hampstead Hill where we learned about some of the drawbacks of Baltimore’s LED street lighting. Our office continues to
engage parents and leaders at the school to identify actions that can be taken to ensure the Hampstead Hill neighborhood is safe and illuminated.
We look forward to continuing these conversations into 2018. We’re also very excited about a language exchange breakfast that we are
coordinating with Ms. German called, Eat, Play, Say - offering English and Spanish speaking parents the opportunity to build relationships across
linguistic barriers. It’s going to be fun, and we hope to see you there! Email: [email protected]

Do you ever wish you could communicate with more parents at HHA? Have you ever
wanted to improve your English or Spanish?

Please join us on February 21st first thing in the morning for a special and fun
community building activity called EAT, PLAY, SAY! We will be led by a group of HHA
parents through a fun language/relationship building activity in a speed date format.
More details to come.

December 20, 2017

Dear Hampstead Hill Academy Community,

Last month, I wrote to you about the process City Schools uses to review charter schools and
other schools with external operators to ensure they are supporting students’ success. This
process results in recommendations to the Baltimore City Board of School Commissioners
regarding renewal of operator charters or contracts that expire at the end of the school year.

City Schools is equally committed to ensuring that all of its schools support students’ academic
success. The district does this, in part, by reviewing schools regularly in a range of areas. In the
case of schools with external operators, the review process (called renewal) considers academic
performance and school climate, as well as financial management and governance. The renewal
process occurs every three or five years, depending on each school’s contract or charter, and is
an assessment of the school’s performance over time. This process reflects the district’s
priorities, as well as best practices from school systems nationwide.

For Hampstead Hill Academy, the review process highlighted the many areas where your school
is effective or highly effective. As a result, yesterday evening, the Board voted to renew your
school’s charter for the next five years, the maximum period available. This decision indicates
the confidence the district has in your school and its ability to contribute to students’ success.

Your school’s renewal report can be found on the district website. If you have questions or
concerns about the Board’s decision, please contact Angela Alvarez in the Office of New
Initiatives at 410-396-8550.

Your involvement is a key contributor to the strength of your school. Thank you for your
partnership and support. I look forward to continued success for our students and schools in
2018.

Sincerely,

Dr. Sonja Brookins Santelises
Chief Executive Officer
