HHA HAS 20 NEW RESTORATIVE PRACTICES AMBASSADORS

On Saturday, December 11th, 20 student leaders from grades 5 - 8 met at HHA for one-day training in Restorative Practices. Consultant Chella Drew,
previously Director of Restorative Practices at HHA, led the workshop. It came on the heels of the popular ‘Restorative Parenting’ session she
facilitated for our families earlier in the month. At the Restorative Practices Ambassadors training, students learned some of the guiding theory
behind the program, including the social discipline window, nine affects and the compass of shame. Links below give more detailed information.
Most importantly, students learned the ins and outs of circles - both the proactive, community-building circles students experience in the morning
during homeroom, as well as the responsive circles whenever a harm has occurred. It was a lot of information packed into a short day. Students like
6th grader Sofia Joslin “liked learning more about restorative practices,” while 6th grader Henry Sierra-Levin appreciated the “inter-activeness of the
workshop and the variety of activities.” Fifth grade student Heaven Harper agreed, saying, “It was an exciting opportunity. I was able to learn new
ways to solve problems.” One of the highlights of the day for many of the participants was the opportunity to meet and work with students across
the grade levels. Fifth grade student Payton Robinson said, “It was great to meet new people we did not know and connect in ways we have not
had a chance to before.”

The 20 newly trained students join returning 8th grade ambassadors Nathan Blackwell-Branagan and Bria Morris who were trained at City Springs
before the pandemic. In practice, our ambassadors may be called upon to help homeroom teachers facilitate the morning circles. They may be
asked, for example, to select circle prompts for the day. Ambassadors will also be invited by our Director of Restorative Practices and School
Counselor to sit in to observe conflict resolution circles with their peers, eventually taking on a more active role as they become more comfortable
and experienced.

REMEMBERING DR. KING’S MESSAGE

As 2022 begins, administrators and teachers want to thank you for sending your
child to HHA and for helping make our school great. School is about learning,
dreaming and getting ready for the next grade, high school, college and
eventually a good job. It is also about motivating each other to do our very best.
The best teachers and students work and learn at HHA, and we are grateful to
have your family be a part of our family.

King’s Day is fast approaching. His message of freedom, non-violence and justice
resonate today as, in volatile times, we seek peace abroad, economic security at
home and kindness in our neighborhoods and schools. In the New Year, we hope
for just and fair police enforcement and answers from our leaders to address the
murders and shootings in Baltimore City, which have not yet abated. We hope for
sensible and humane immigration enforcement that permits families to live, work, and attend church and school in peace, and sets a clear path to
citizenship for all Dreamers. We hope for more space to right-size our wonderful school. Finally, we hope that the New Year brings you and yours
health, joy, peace, and love. Happy 2022!

MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. DAY OF SERVICE

Schools are closed Monday, January 17th in recognition of the life and service of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Remember, Dr. King’s day is a “day on,
not a day off.” There are volunteer and service opportunities throughout the Baltimore metro area. This is a great day for HHA middle school
students to meet their LGP service learning requirements for 2nd quarter and add to the hours they will need to graduate from high school.
Students should see Mr. Lucas, Ms. Plunk or Ms. Lightkep for service learning options.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US FOR STUDENT
CELEBRATION NIGHT

Thank you for being part of the HHA Student Celebration Night. If you joined us, you had an
opportunity to taste the HHA Signature Cookie designed and baked by Ms. Mitchell our Food for
Life teacher. Ms. Mitchell, along with members of the Culinary Arts Club, decorated each cookie
by hand. The reviews were great! We hope to offer these cookies again in the future.

Bee inspired HHA Signature Cookie

Please remind your child not to share any part of their lunch with another student. There are
students in the building with severe allergies to certain foods, in particular peanuts. If at all
possible, please do not pack any lunch for your child with a peanut product. If you do send your
child to school with a peanut product, please remind your child not to share the item with
anyone else. A piece of candy can be very inviting to a child but can lead to a very traumatic
episode.

All lost and found items are held for one week only.

Items marked with the student’s name will be returned to the student. Please come into
school as soon as possible to check for any lost items.

NEWS FROM THE TEAMS

PREK

Ms. Klenk and Ms. Kaminaris: PreK staff hopes that everyone had a safe, healthy and restful holiday break. Returning to school in January is a
return to routines, both at home and at school. Please make sure your child is going to bed on time, and give them plenty of time in the morning to
get ready for school, as they are easing back into routines. Please remember that your child will need a snack every day along with a winter coat,
hats and gloves/mittens. Please make sure that all items are labeled with your child’s name. Students will continue to go outside throughout the
winter, unless it is below freezing and/or there is snow or ice on the playground. Your child will also need to wear a mask every day. It is a good
idea to pack extra masks in your child's backpack, in case the one worn to school gets dirty or lost. Also make sure that your child has a complete
change of warm clothes in their cubby. This should include long pants, a long sleeve shirt, socks and underwear. Bathroom accidents are more
common after breaks from school. During the month of January, students will finish the unit on shapes, and begin the math unit on numbers 6 - 10.
They will also continue to learn a new letter sound every week. In core knowledge, students will learn about the winter season and winter animals.
Please make sure you are receiving Dojo notifications. There are times where information needs to be disseminated quickly, and parents need to
be connected and receiving these messages. Thank you!

KINDERGARTEN

Ms. Maciel, Ms. Wallis and Ms. Villa: Students had so much fun celebrating winter, sprit week and silly sweater day. Now, everyone is looking
forward to a fun January ahead! This month in math, students will learn about comparing sets, addition and subtraction, story problems and fact
families. In reading, they will learn new sounds, read short stories and answer comprehension questions. In language, they will learn calendar
information, retell a story and rhyming. In core knowledge, students will learn about plants, including the parts and the life cycle of a plant. As the
weather gets colder, please make sure students are dressing appropriately, with coats, hats and gloves. Make sure that all of their items are
marked with their first and last name. Also, check your child's daily orange folder for important information, and their weekly yellow folder for
completed work.

LEADERS GO PLACES

Each Friday, middle school students meet in the gym to review the LGP schedule and listen to announcements. They also reflect on the five
promises and what the promises mean. Students then stand to share apologies and acknowledgements. It is very powerful to hear a middle school
student stand in front of their peers and apologize to a classmate or teacher, or thank a friend or staff member for their help. Friday circles
strengthen our community every week. A few weeks ago, HHA was honored to have a guest speaker. Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott came to
share his thoughts on growing up in Baltimore and now serving the city that he loves. Our students were prepared with questions. Everyone was so
proud of their attention to the mayor and their questions of real concern for our city. Often focus is put on the negative behavior of adolescents as
they make mistakes. Our students are far from perfect, as they are transitioning from young kid to young adult, but we have to recognize how
mature and wonderful they all are. Middle school is a unique time, and our students are making the best of it.

During Mayor Scott’s visit to HHA, he surprised everyone and did the morning announcements, spoke at the LGP circle,
answered questions one-on-one with students and visited several classrooms.
Thank you for taking time from your busy schedule to visit with us!

ENRICHMENT

MUSIC LESSONS

Ms. Alexander: Ms. Alexander has enjoyed working with HHA's student musicians during 2021, and is excited to see what 2022 will bring! During
the month of January, instrumental music students will continue to learn and apply both technical and musically expressive skills to aid in the
development of tone production, intonation and musicality. Happy New Year!

Join Us for the Community Arts Evening
Tuesday, January 25th
5 – 6 pm

For more detailed information check out the flyer attached to the magazine.

DRAMA

Ms. Durkin: Students in PreK and kindergarten will rehearse a Story Theatre production to be shared in mid-January. Second semester for PreK
and kindergarten will begin January 24th. Students who took art during the first semester will switch to drama. Ms. Durkin looks forward to meeting
her new students. Grade 1- 4 students will work with age-appropriate levels of support to write a short play to submit to Center Stage's Young
Playwrights Festival. Grade 5 – 8 students will read and analyze a play for plot, theme and production requirements.

FOOD FOR LIFE

Food for Life students created various nutritional foods during the month of December

LIBRARY

Ms. Kannam: The HHA library is busy with students reading together, trying new world
languages and checking out TONS of books! Remember to encourage your student to visit the
library anytime not just during the Enrichment class rotation. Also, please help your students
return library books in a timely manner so other students can enjoy them too!

TECHNOLOGY

Ms. Sparwasser: Welcome Back Ms. Sparwasser!

PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Mr. Edwards: PreK and kindergarten students will use various games and exercises to refine locomotor movements such as hopping, skipping and
galloping. Game play, scooters and parachutes will be used to help condition upper and lower body muscles. Grades 1-4 students work out in the
gym, doing yoga and low impact games. Outdoor activity will allow for refining throwing and catching skills. Grade 5-8 students will have several
"equity in athletics" discussions to begin classes this phase. They will also do yoga workouts and will be introduced to ultimate frisbee (weather
permitting). When working out in the gym, all students are socially distanced.

NATURE EXPLORATION

Ms. Riorda: Students have been really busy engaging in many different environmental
science topics. Elementary students have been investigating different animal adaptations
through videos, books and games. Most of the games are played in the park so students
can get a real feel for what it is like for animals getting ready for the colder weather.
Upper elementary students are learning about Earth's natural resources. They are making
connections between the items they use every day and the natural resources used to
produce those items. They have also discussed how fossil fuels are obtained and the
environmental impact associated with mining, drilling and fracking. Middle school
students are investigating properties of water by doing experiments about cohesion,
adhesion and surface tension and then building boats from materials found in the park to
test their understanding of buoyancy. Have a safe and healthy New Year and get outdoors
as much as possible.

GIFTED AND ADVANCED LEARNING PROGRAM Middle school students test the buoyancy of the
boats they built
Ms. Guitian and Ms. Gonzalez: Welcome to 2022! GAL students in grades 2 - 4 will
embark on their individual Passion Project. This is a great time to ask your child about
their ideas and if necessary help them narrow down a topic. As students begin to explore
and learn, they will work to identify a “Big Thinking Question” to guide their learning. Big
Thinking Questions require students to think beyond the basic facts and come up with
ways to put their learning to good use. For example, after learning about elephants, a
student may decide to ask, “What can we do to help elephants survive in the wild?” A
student interested in piano may learn different styles or genres of piano music and ask,
“How can I compose an original jazz song?” Students will choose a format for sharing
their topic. This is also part of the learning. Filming a video, writing a blog, performing a
song or creating a website are some examples of ways students have presented their
learning in the past. Finished projects can be shared any time, with the goal of all projects
completed by the end of May. Happy Learning!

SPECIAL EDUCATION

Ms. Shaffer: January 4th wass 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

ESOL DEPARTMENT NEWS

Ms. Bailin, Ms. Brezenoff, Ms. Hicks, Ms. Hyatt, and Mr. LaBarr: Grade 1 students are in the unit, Here Comes the Animals. They are learning
about animals and play a grade called; Guess What Animal I Am to reinforce this learning. Students pick an animal card and pretend to be the
animal by showing how it moves and the sound it makes. Middle elementary students are using their knowledge of communities as a backdrop to
language skill development. Some are working with time order words to strengthen both their reading and writing skills. Others are working with
various forms of non-fiction, including photo essays of places of interest, such as the New York City Central Park. All students are enjoying
connecting their new learning about community life and neighborhood improvement to their own lives. Grade 5 and 6 students are learning about
the different features in a desert by reading a scientific article. Grade 8 students are finishing the unit on community. They have created maps of a
city and talked about the importance of identifying landmarks. They have also learned how to give directions and use prepositions of place to
describe locations in the city. After the winter break, students will begin a new unit about the house and the family.

CLUB/ACTIVITIES NEWS

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

NOTIFICATION OF CLUB OPENINGS

Parents will be notified two ways regarding club openings. Some club coordinators will send an interest form home with the student to complete
and return to school. Other coordinators will send out an interest form via e-mail and posting on the HHA Facebook page. Parents signed up to
receive emails will receive these notifications.

If more students sign up for a club than there are openings, a lottery will be held. Students selected will
receive a permission slip. If your child does not receive a permission slip,
your child was not selected in the lottery.

GIRLS ON THE RUN

Huge SHOUT OUT to the HHA GOTR team for completing their celebratory 5k run on December 5th in Druid Hill Park. The event took place with
hundreds of other girls from across the state. These girls had an amazing season! Be on the lookout for the registration link for the spring season of
Girls on the Run. Registration for the lottery will open January 14 - 30, with the lottery drawing for the team held on January 31st. The season will
start February 2nd for an 8-week program on Mondays and Wednesdays after school 2:40 - 4 pm, with a final 5k celebration. Girls do not need to be
‘runners’ to be part of the program. The sessions focus on increasing confidence, developing self-love, establishing and maintaining friendships,
and other important topics in addition to physical health. Girls on the Run…So Much Fun!!!! Please see one of the GOTR coaches for any
questions/concerns---Reza Bonner, Gabriella Pellegrini, Amanda Smith.

THE COMMUNITY BUILDERS OF HHA

SERVICE CLUB FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS

The Community Builders of HHA had a busy December. Members hosted two after-school hot chocolate sales along with planning, advertising and
participating in Spirit Week all to raise money for the University of Maryland Child Life Center. With all of their efforts, $3,000 was raised to shop
for kids that spent time in the hospital over the holidays. The members spent an afternoon internet shopping to pick out the items that the hospital
had requested. Gifts were presented to Ms. Shannon Joslin who works at the hospital. They were also able to give her the over 400 boxes of
colorful fun Band-Aids that were collected in November. The other big activity that the club sponsored was an "Ugly Sweater Day" to raise money
for SL24. SL24 is an organization that raises awareness and provides resources to prevent suicide. They raised over $400 in one day! The
Community Builders want to thank the school community for all of their support for the causes that the club members have chosen. The January
meetings for the club will be held on January 11th and 25th.

NEW CLUB FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS – MAGIC THE GATHERING

Magic the Gathering, also known as MTG or just ‘Magic,’ is a strategy card game that started in 1993
and continues today with millions of players world-wide. The game has several formats, but the most
common format is a head-to-head, two-player game, where a player must employ a constrained
strategy to achieve success. Think of a game of chess, but instead of wooden figurines representing
different abilities, Magic uses text and symbols on cards to represent different abilities. It is the text
and symbols that teaches students fairly robust mathematics, logic, and computer science principles.
The club will begin on Wednesday, January 19th from 2:50 – 4 pm and end on Wednesday, May 25th.
Interest forms will be emailed to parents and posted in the main lobby within a few days.

Congratulations to Spencer and Cameron Cappolla on their great performance at
the K-12 National Chess Championships in Orlando, Florida in December 2021.
Over the course of four days, the best scholastic players from all states in the
country competed for their titles. Only two 4th grade players represented
Maryland and Spencer was one of them. Cameron was the only kindergarten
student representing the state of Maryland. Both Spencer and Cameron came
home with medals and trophies. Spencer and Cameron's next national
tournament is coming in May of 2022 in Columbus, Ohio.
Spencer is part of the HHA Chess Club.

With help from our favorite Pasteur
chef Ms. Piskor, students in the

Culinary Arts Club created delicious
gingerbread houses!

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 blacktop

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

Masks are required for everyone inside the building. Please
make sure your child has a clean, close-fitting mask that is

as comfortable as possible each day.

The group of Padres Unidos celebrated
the holidays playing Bingo Navideno in

English and Spanish, and decorating
holiday cookies. Everyone had a
wonderful time sharing their best
childhood holiday memory by

practicing their English or Spanish.
Thank you to everyone that

participated. You are invited to the
next meeting which will be held
January 20, 2022 at 8:15 am.
