THE MULTICULTURAL FESTIVAL “A TASTE AROUND THE WORLD” The Multicultural Festival "A Taste Around the World" was a great success. Everyone enjoyed a wide variety of food from different countries. Children had the opportunity to visit stations and create crafts from different continents. They also enjoyed the dance performances by Danza Alegria, Keur Khaley and Fiona Palmer. A huge thank you to all the families who donated food and their time to this great event. Also, thank you to the PTO for their generous donation and to the HHA staff for helping before, during and after the event. This could not be possible without everyone's support. See you next year! HAMPSTEAD HILL NIGHT Almost 500 community members came out in perfect weather to enjoy music by Sac Au Lait, face and nail painting by HHA staff and games for the children. Ms. Hicks, Ms. Ziemba and Ms. Kaminaris worked hard all night to serve snowballs to over 350 kids! The Funnel Cake King, plus new vendors Lupita's and Palo Santo, were there with delicious offerings. Special thanks to Home Slyce, Crescenciana Leon, Sandra Calle, Mr. Cobb and Mr. Berry, plus HHA staff and middle school volunteers for helping to make this event so wonderful. EXCITING NEW HIRES Personal career decisions and out-of-state relocations resulted in a low number of openings at HHA for the 2023-2024 school year. 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 just five teacher openings. After interviewing, observing sample lessons, and checking references, we continue to put the finishing touches on our team for next year. You will learn more about the new faculty members in the fall, but we can share that we are very excited about the training, experience and positive energy they will bring to our school. SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING PREK ENROLLMENT FOR 2023-2024 While we hope to implement universal pre-kindergarten in the next couple of years, PreK is not mandatory. Until June 30th, any student who (1) will turn 4 by 9/1/2023 AND (2) has an IEP and/or is income eligible AND (3) resides in HHA’s attendance area will be enrolled. As of July 1st , PreK enrollment will be open to all other students. Factors will include the address of the student as well as sibling, income, IEP and ESOL status. It is our hope that all siblings will be admitted to PreK, but that is not a guarantee and families should definitely keep other options open. We usually have about 120-140 families vying for 42 available Prek spaces. IF YOU HAVE A CHILD WHO WILL TURN FOUR BY SEPTEMBER 1ST AND ANOTHER CHILD CURRENTLY ATTENDING HHA, PLEASE MAKE SURE TO SUBMIT YOUR FOUR-YEAR OLD’S NAME FOR A PREK SPOT. WE WANT TO MAKE CERTAIN ALL SIBLINGS ARE CONSIDERED. TOP NEWS STORIES 3 Face painting was a big hit at HHA Night

There are more than 100 children on our waiting list for next year who live outside of our attendance area. We need an accurate count of in-zone families who intend to enroll in order to project sensible class sizes. Enrollment directly impacts our budget and ability to provide highquality programming. KINDERGARTEN PLACEMENT TESTING JULY 11TH AND JULY 20TH Do you have an incoming kindergarten student?

Through all the new and sometimes challenging math concepts, students’ determination to learn and succeed never wavered. The student growth this year has been amazing. To end the year, students will preview some key concepts of 7th grade math. Have a wonderful summer! Science – Ms. Poole: The end of the school year is always bitter sweet, but especially so this year. Ms. Poole has enjoyed getting to know all of her students and seeing how much they’ve grown (physically, socially, and academically), but saying goodbye is the hardest part, as they have grown to become a family. 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 enjoying some quality family time.

Social Studies – Mr. Ball: Students have been finished the year strong. They have analyzed the events leading up to the Civil War and determined which events brought the country closer and which ones pulled the country further apart. Next, they analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of the Union and the Confederacy to determine which side had the advantage going into the war. Finally, they spent time examining Reconstruction to determine the gains made toward equality and how those gains were ultimately reversed after 1877.

Pre-Algebra/Algebra 1 – Mr. Pratta: Students will finish the year with a financial literacy project designed to promote awareness with real-world skills like budgeting, saving and borrowing money responsibly. The students have worked incredibly hard on their math skills this year and are ready to succeed at the highest level in high school! LEADERS GO PLACES Leaders Go Places motivates students to reach rigorous academic goals. The standards and reaching level is not easy. Each quarter, around 75% of our students did just that. The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee (DEIC) at HHA looks at student data to determine if all of our students are achieving at the same level. Equity is always a work in progress. It is important that students from all backgrounds can achieve academic success. LGP is the measure used in the middle school. Check the chart to see how it was done. When students who made level in the middle school is analyzed, the racial percentages closely mirror that of the student population. This has to be the goal, and everyone is working hard to achieve it. HHA staff will constantly work to be more inclusive and to ensure all students feel valued. This work is never done, but the success that has been attained so far should be celebrated. Thank you to all the students and staff that believe equity matters. Students who are on-level in the 4th quarter are invited to attend the Quarter 4 Leadership Trip to Guppy Gulch Water Park in Pennsylvania. In addition to a school permission slip, students who attend must have a waiver completed on their behalf by a parent or guardian. Please use the following link to complete that waiver before Monday, June 5th: https://app.waiverforever.com/pending/FUjqbQV6Xl1556373093 PHYSICAL EDUCATION Mr. Edwards: PreK and kindergarten students continue to refine spatial awareness, throwing and catching.

11 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 day trips, • set aside daily learning time, • enroll in summer learning program and visit the library! Enjoy your summer break! ESOL DEPARTMENT NEWS Ms. Hicks, Ms. Brezenoff, Ms. Ziemba, Mr. LaBarr, Ms. Hyatt: The ESOL team is so proud of all of the students they have had the pleasure to work with this year!

GIFTED AND ADVANCED LEARNING PROGRAM Ms. Guitian: Wow! A whole year of GAL is nearly in the books. Grade 3 and 4 students had a blast sharing their passion projects with each other, and showing off the games, posters, books, music and art they created to go along with their research. More than a few students were so inspired they are planning to create a whole new passion project over the summer! During the last weeks of school, grade 1 and 2 students will have an opportunity to share their expert books or projects with each other. In addition, the younger students served as the audience for several older students’ presentations, giving them an exciting preview of what challenges await them in the coming years. If your child is currently a formally identified GAL student, please know they will continue as one throughout their time in Baltimore City Schools. Beginning in 5th grade, the GAL program continues in the form of honors level and accelerated curriculum, including a wide variety of options for special programs and projects appropriate for gifted and advanced learners.

13 TRASH PICKING TEAM #5 Children on Trash Picking Team #5 have learned and recognized that trash picking is not an isolated activity. It has a long-lasting impact for our environment. This month's highlight for the team was a learning opportunity through a Healthy Harbor EcoTour donated by the Waterfront Partnership of Baltimore. HHA parent, Ms. Allison, who works for the Partnership was able to lead the tour, providing detailed information for team. The team was enchanted by the floating wetlands, oyster gardens, rain gardens and Mr. Trash Wheel. It was encouraging to see how people can work together to minimize the pollution and to improve the environment we live in. Fun fact: Baby oysters are called spat. Each oyster works like a natural purifier which filters and removes pollution, up to 50 gallons of water per day! To date, the Trash Wheel Family (there are four of them) has collected: 2,362.23 Tons of Trash. CULTURE EXPLORATION CLUB The debut of Culture Exploration club at HHA was a huge success. Children explored how people live their lives from -40F in the cold winters of Russia to 120F in the hot summers of Kuwait. They tasted Korean style Sushi and cooked Kuwait Shortbread cookies. They've touched the fabric of traditional clothes from Russia and Kuwait, colored flags and had a contest about Mexico. They've learned the history and facts from all four countries they've explored. Children asked well-constructed questions, demonstrated independent thinking, and showed tremendous curiosity, interests and respects for other cultures. Thank you very much for the parent volunteer presenters who helped make it happen. Please contact Yan ([email protected]) if you are interested in presenting a country in the fall. Students and their families at the at the Healthy Harbor EcoTour donated by the Waterfront Partnership of Baltimore Members of the Culture Exploration Club learn about Kuwait through tasting and feeling
14 LEARNING ABOUT THE NATURAL WORLD First grade students in Ms. Munoz and Ms. Protopapas’ class learned about the natural world, focusing on the interconnections of all living things with their physical environment and with one another. Students learned what a habitat is. They also learned how to identify specific types of habitats and their related characteristics. Students culminated the unit by creating a habitat of their choice with their families and then presenting the project in class to their peers. GARDEN CLUB Students in garden club grow, harvest, prep and eat straight from the HHA garden! Mr. Victor would be so proud!
15 HHA STUDENTS HELP MARYLAND NATIVE PLANTS Garlic mustard is an invasive plant that has colonized Maryland forests and natural parks. This plant spreads its seeds in the wind and emerges earlier in spring than many other native plants. By the time native species are ready to grow, garlic mustard has blocked their sunlight and outcompeted them for moisture and vital nutrients. Because the understory of a forest is so important for insects and other species at the bottom of the food chain, invaders like garlic mustard can weaken the entire ecosystem. In early May, five HHA students spent their time pulling up the invasive garlic mustard plants in the Herring Run Park in Baltimore City. Thank you Evan, Sejr, Steven, Eric and Andrew for helping Maryland native plants have a better chance to grow! 4 th grade students met the Director of Friends of Patterson Park, Jennifer Robinson, to discuss keeping our park beautiful. Ms. Robinson distributed Green & Go kits, and the students spent their class time using the trash grabbers to clean up the area near Pulaski Monument.
16 KNOW THE NO’S • No gum at school. It is distracting and prevents students from reading aloud clearly. • No smoking in or around school property. This is against the law on school property. • No double parking or idling at drop-off and pickup. Double parking creates a dangerous situation, and you could get a $252 ticket for double parking. • 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 greentop during school arrival and dismissal times. Also, ask them to be mindful of smaller children to avoid accidentally bumping into them. PARENT SPANISH TECHNOLOGY CLASS Recently several of our Hispanic parents took part in a Spanish technology class. The parents learned Microsoft Word skills, and created a recipe book in Spanish. They practiced typing, formatting, editing and adding attachments to a shared document. The students finished the class with a potluck celebration of the recipes from their book. The students who completed the session received a certificate. Congratulations to Crecenciana Leon, Laura Naula, Magdalena Gaspar, Felicitas Solano and Rosa Quito. The cookbook, translated into English, is at the end of the news magazine.
