THE CICADAS HAVE ARRIVED!

STORY ON PAGE 3

Welcome to Hampstead Hill Academy!

Note from Principal Hornbeck

“A favorite memory from the school year is making new friends and adjusting to the new environment.” - Caleb, 3rd Grade Student

“My favorite part was when we finally got to be in person again. It was so good to see my classmates and finally meet my teachers, and boy, it was
very confusing. If I had a nickel for every time I knew what was going on, I’d be broke.” - Zoe, 3rd Grade Student

This crazy school year will soon be in the rear view mirror. We are speeding towards a much better future, one where all students will be in-person
all day every day. Thanks to historic federal and state investments in education, schools, including HHA, will have what we need to get the job done.
The job is a big one! This spring was a practice run. More than 500 HHA students returned to instruction five days a week, a higher percentage than
most public schools in Maryland, but they have only been in-person for a few hours each day. Teachers did an amazing job dividing their attention
between in-person and remote learners, but students who remained fully remote saw their school day shrink even more. We provided an average of
nearly 300 in-person students with meals each day but that is a far cry from the 500 meals we normally serve each day. The playground is open
again, and you can see our youngest students out there from time to time. However, it’s just not the same as the 10 daily recess shifts staffed by
Coppermine coaches.

A normal start to next year is coming into focus. This fall, we will open with more than 800 students in-person all day, every day. Any remote option
the district offers will not be taught by HHA teachers. HHA is planning to be fully in-person with no hybrid or remote options offered. In order to plan
effectively, we will ask each family if they intend to return next school year. We want to make sure enrollment is stable and decide whether or not to
go to our waiting list. Please complete the intent survey as soon as possible. Also, be on the lookout for a summer letter from me in the middle of
August with all the details about the new year. When we are all back in the fall, we want your child to experience the joy of being together and
learning with their peers and friends. Thanks for all your support this year. Have a safe and happy summer!

TOP NEWS STORIES

THE CICADAS HAVE ARRIVED

It has been 17 years since the Brood X Cicadas have been seen. These incredible insects have been living
underground since 2004 when they hatched from their eggs. When they finally emerged, still as a nymph, they
crawled up anything they could find to complete their final metamorphosis into adulthood. They cracked
through their hardened exoskeleton became fliers and singers. Their chorus swoons as the temperatures rise,
and the males depend on their song to attract a mate. An emergence of this magnitude means a protein rich
diet for any omnivore. It is truly a breakfast buffet like no other. The insects are harmless creatures with no
bite or sting. However, they have very poor eyesight and are clumsy fliers so don't be afraid if one lands on
your arm. The cicadas will be gone in about four weeks along with the swell of their song. You might be
crunching when you walk on fallen exoskeletons, but even these will add important nutrients to the soil. Check
out this animated guide to this year's massive brood x cicada emergence at https://time.com/6047529/brood-
x-cicada/. Also, at the end of the news magazine, there are pictures taken by Mr. Hornbeck that shows the
transformation of the cicada.

PANDEMIC SUBSIDING HHA students have been

At this writing, the statewide positivity rate is down to 1.6% and Baltimore City’s positivity rate is 1.3%. There learning about cicadas in
are fewer cases statewide than any time since this awful period began back in March 2020. Both the Moderna Nature Exploration class

and Pfizer shots have been approved for children as young as 12. Several dozen of HHA’s middle school

students have already been vaccinated. We strongly encourage every eligible person to get vaccinated as soon as possible. Nearly two billion doses

have been administered worldwide and nearly 300 million administered in the United States. Vaccinations are way up in Maryland, which is the key

to speeding up our recovery.

TOP TEACHING STAFF

We continue to have extraordinarily low teacher turnover at HHA. After posting positions a few months ago, outstanding educators from City
Schools, across the region, and the country have expressed their desire to work at HHA. We had more than 80 inquiries for five teacher openings.
In addition, we added three new positions which are two math and reading intervention positions and a new Director of Talent Development and
Equity. After interviewing, observing sample lessons, and checking references, we are putting the finishing touches on our team for next year. You
will learn more about our new faculty members and returning staff in new roles in the fall, but we can share that we are very excited about the
training, experience and positive energy they will bring to HHA.

MEET YOUR TEACHER RETURNS

Meet your Teacher is one of the many great traditions at HHA. You and your family are invited to this special open house event Friday, August 27,
2021 from 9-11 am. The building will be sparkling clean and all set up for the new school year. We hope to schedule the Raven’s mascot and the
Oriole Bird to come by and pose for pictures. Come see your child’s former and new teachers and check our classrooms. You will be especially
impressed with the completely renovated gymnasium.

fractions, and in reading, they have finished the stories about Bertha and her incredible talent. The kids really enjoyed reading about Bertha helping
Maria solve the case. In language arts, they have continued to work on writing proper sentences and identifying the parts of sentences. One of the
favorite parts of each day is the time everyone spends dancing and exercising together to the Go Noodle videos. Ask your child what was their
favorite video. Ms. Smith has really enjoyed getting to know the students this year and would like everyone to know how hard students have
worked during this tough school year. End-of-year plans are being finalized. Look for information soon. Have a wonderful and relaxing summer!

so many challenges. We are so proud of them!

GRADE 4

Reading – Ms. Schultz: Students have worked hard throughout the 4th quarter in reading class! In a year
with so many challenges, students have continued to make wonderful progress in reading. All students

others are reading a biography of Harriet Tubman. Ms. Schultz has enjoyed working with all of her students
this year.

Language/Science - Ms. Costello: Students are applying the writing skills that they’ve learned throughout
the year by analyzing different misleading and inaccurate advertisements. In science, they are learning
about different ways that energy is transferred by participating in various investigations. They have been
learning about magnetism, potential and kinetic energy as well as how light travels.

Math – Mr. Pratta: Students will continue to work through geometry topics before ending the year with 4th grade students did
customary measurement conversions. In this module, students build their competencies in measurement experiments on magnetism.
as they relate multiplication to the conversion of measurement units. During the final week of school,
students will explore multiple strategies for solving real-life measurement problems involving unit

Expressions and Equations. Check out the awesome posts below from Una, Zahraa, Kelsey and Herbie. To finish the school year, students will
prepare for 7th grade math by reviewing some key geometry, statistics and integer concepts. Ms. Kleine is so proud of all the ways the students
have adapted and grown over this unique school year!

Science – Ms. Poole: Personal Message from Ms. Poole - The end of the school year is always bitter sweet, but especially so this year. I’ve enjoyed
getting to know all of my students and seeing how much they’ve grown (physically, socially, and academically), but saying goodbye is the hardest
part, as we’ve grown to become a family. I’m very proud of the sixth graders this year for adjusting to all of the changes and making the best of
virtually learning. They have worked hard and continued learning, despite facing challenges.

This year, students focused on four main topics; light, odor, ecosystems and erosion. They are now experts and should be able to thoroughly
answer and explain, Can I believe my eyes? How can I smell things from a distance? Where have all the creatures gone? and How does water shape
our world? Their newfound knowledge should help them in future science classes, but more so, it should help them understand what’s going on in
the world around them. Best wishes for a wonderful summer and quality family time.

Student created Instagram posts that helped to explain key concepts learned in Expressions and Equations.

GRADE 7

Language Arts – Ms. Locke-Jones: Students are currently reading Miracle's Boys by Jacqueline Woodson. The novel tells the story of Lafayette,
Charlie, and Ty'ree Bailey, brothers orphaned by the tragic deaths of their parents. The entire novel takes place over the course of two days, a
Friday and Saturday, though it incorporates flashbacks to earlier events as well.

Math – Mr. White: Students will explore statistics and probability concepts. They will also take the math NWEA assessment during the week of
June 7th. Have a safe and relaxing summer.

Science– Mr. Lohrman: Students are answering the question, Why do some things stop, and others keep going? It is all about how the amount of
energy in a system stays constant. It may just convert or transform into different forms of energy.

GRADE 8

Language Arts – Mr. Ball: Ms. Ball is so proud of the students as they finish up their final quarter of middle school at HHA! All students have
worked so hard and persevered through so many challenges this year. As the school year ends, students will finish reading The House on Mango
Street. Cisneros’ beautiful writing affords us an excellent opportunity to analyze poetic devices while engaging in fruitful discussions on Latinx
culture and identity, gender roles, poverty, racism and otherness.

History – Ms. Kosmer: Students have finished the unit Creating the U.S. Constitution and are working on the Bill of Rights. They are completing a
presentation about the BIll of Rights, and they will present it to their classmates. They are also analyzing scenarios presented to the U.S. Supreme
Court.

Pre-Algebra/Algebra 1 – Ms. Luthers Bradford: Pre-Algebra/Algebra 1: Students are ending the year with content to help them be successful on
MCAP in June, Algebra 1 next year or other high school math classes. Consider asking your student which unit they enjoyed the most this year.

LEADERS GO PLACES

In lieu of community service this year, middle school students have completed self-awareness projects. They
have read and responded to articles on Hispanic Heritage Month, Women’s History Month, LGBTQ+ rights,
Black Lives Matter and other topics of inclusion. They also wrote thank you letters to staff and sent cards to
kids in the hospital. These projects helped to make students more aware of the issues that all people face.
While we hope this knowledge helps them live up to the promise of contributing to the common good,
because of the pandemic, students have not completed true community service. This is about to change.

On Friday, May 28th, students choose three community organizations to support. These are ShareBaby, an
organization that provides diapers and other necessities for families in need. Students will create and
managing a diaper collection from June 1st through June 15th. Students will also support GoVax Maryland, an
organization that is encouraging all Marylanders to get the COVID-19 vaccine when they are eligible, by
creating posters and fliers and the Travis Manion Foundation which supports US military veterans. Two
members of this organization attended the circle on Friday. Students may decide to write letters of gratitude to Gold Star Families.

To learn more about these great organizations, check out their websites below.

M1d2HPto3sTSknC34QXuWv63ATl13dy_yr0q44/edit#slide=id.gcf17
Ms. Demas: Students in PreK and kindergarten continue "eating the 682783_0_36
alphabet' and learning about fruits and vegetables that begin with
each letter of the alphabet. Students in grades 1 - 5 are using
sensory vocabulary to describe a food that their classmates try to
guess. Here is an example written by Trinity in 3rd grade. Can you
guess what it is?

It looks…very light like sliced bread, soft and brown and flimsy. It has
crispy golden edges.

It smells…like cinnamon buns, maple syrup and bread.

It tastes…like bread, and it’s a little crispy and sweet.

The texture/mouth feel is soft but soggy at the same time. It is a
little rough because of the cinnamon sugar. The maple syrup is thick
and sticky.

Answer: French Toast!

LIBRARY – THE HHA LIBRARY IS OPEN!

Ms. Kannam: It is time to return ALL library books! Do you have any books in your house that have an HHA
stamp inside or a barcode on the back of the book that reads "Hampstead Hill Academy”? It is time to bring
the books back. No fines ever - just bring the books back any time and drop them at the school so the library
can get organized this summer to be ready to serve all students in the fall! PreK and kindergarten students
should also return their blue library bags.

ART TALK

Grade 5 students have been
learning about the artist Georgia
O’Keeffe and have been creating
beautiful works of art about
nature.

ENRICHMENT NEWS

Have you ever thought about the different ways a remainder might be used in a division problem? Just ask one of Ms. Knudsen’s Newts and you
will be surprised. What are all the ways we use decimals in our daily lives? Many of Pratta’s Panthers have given deep consideration to this
question and are creating their own decimal projects to demonstrate their knowledge. How does Elmer save the Baby Dragon? How will
Despereaux fare in the dungeon with the rats? Ask one of 1 - 2 Primary Superstars to fill you in. It’s is amazing how much students have learned in
a short, precious period of time together in the Enrichment Room.

June will be a month for sharing Passion Projects. If your child has been working to become an expert on something, they will be invited to share it
with their classmates during the first two weeks of June. While this is an optional activity, we are hoping many of our GAL students felt called to the
challenge of making their own projects. Sharing can take many forms, from a simple oral explanation to a more complex audiovisual display. The
goal is about learning to learn and this is a skill we will continue to develop year after year.

During this truly creative and innovative year of teaching and learning, teachers have learned so much more about what their students need to
learn and grow. Ms. Guitian is excited to move into next year equipped with new ideas for maximizing engagement and providing enrichment
opportunities for GAL students.

SPECIAL EDUCATION

Ms. Shaffer: It’s summer vacation, and your child is probably happy to spend his or her days lounging and recuperating from the hectic school
year. Summer regression is the loss of academic knowledge gained throughout the school year. Learning loss or the ‘summer slide’ among students
over summer break is a very real problem that we see often. Here are several ways for parents to help minimize summer regression: Read daily,
write often, plan educational trips, set aside daily learning time, enroll in summer learning programs and visit the library. Enjoy your summer break!

ESOL DEPARTMENT NEWS

Ms. Bailin, Ms. Gonzalez, Ms. Hicks, Ms. Brezenoff and Mr. LaBarr: ESOL teachers have been doing push-in with ESOL students.

PLEASE REMEMBER TO CHECK YOUR EMAIL/TEXT MESSAGES OFTEN FOR IMPORTANT
INFORMATION AND GOOGLE FORMS/SURVEYS FROM HHA!

CLUB/ACTIVITIES NEWS

DIVERSITY CLUB

Students that have attended club meetings have been invited to an end of
year celebration on Wednesday, June 2nd at 3:15 pm on Zoom. Please remind
your student to RSVP. If they are unable to make it, please have them
