Hollywood students had a wonderful time exploring Brookfield Zoo and seeing all the amazing animals. One of the highlights of the trip was watching the dolphin show! What a great day!
Mr. Murray's 2nd graders pretended that they were stranded on a very hot island! Fortunately, some materials washed ashore, so they were able to design a hat to protect themselves from the sun. Students learned the properties of materials, including flexibility and absorbancy. They then used their ingenuity to design effective sun protection.
It was Chicka Chicka Boom Boom day in kindergarten!
After learning to find the volume of rectangular prisms on paper, Mrs. Faletti's 5th graders took to the hallway to apply their learning. They measured the cubbies in inches and centimeters and then calculated their volume.
It was Apple Day in Kindergarten at Hollywood School. Our young Huskies made their own applesauce and tried 7 different varieties of apples. After tasting them all, they created a graph of their favorites. 🍎🍏
Ms. Koch’s 4th graders celebrated wrapping up their Personal Narratives unit with a sweet treat—chocolate milkshakes! Students read a personal narrative about author Peg Kehret, who contracted polio and spent months recovering. During her illness, chocolate milkshakes were one of the few foods she was able to eat. What a perfect way to celebrate the end of the unit!
3rd graders finished their unit on Classic Stories and made a new disguise for Toad from the tale "The Wind in the Willows."
3rd graders read "The Dot," by Peter H. Reynolds to celebrate International Dot Day. They talked about how to overcome challenges and created their own dot drawings.
Happy Friday! It was a fantastic week to be a Husky. 💙
Ms. Gilhooly's 3rd graders are off to a great start this school year! They are working hard at learning new things and having fun while they do it. Way to go, 3rd grade!
It was a great week to be a kindergartener at Hollywood School. Ms. Kwas' class worked with their 5th grade Buddies, explored classroom materials, and celebrated Pigeon Day. What a fun week!
🐾💙 Happy first day of school, Hollywood Huskies! 💙🐾
Today was a blast! There was laughter in the halls and excitement in the classrooms. It's going to be an amazing year.
Welcome back—we're so glad you’re here!
Super Hollywood Field Day was so much fun! Our Mario-themed day was a blast!
Ms. Kwas' kindergarteners learned about Eric Carle and performed The Very Hungry Caterpillar for all of Hollywood School. They did an amazing job bringing the book to life!
Hollywood Huskies hit the zoo and had a blast! Our whole school field trip was so much fun!
Hollywood 2nd graders went to the zoo today to release butterflies into a special habitat! What an amazing experience! 🦋
Ahoy, Hollywood Huskies. Our school was commandeered by singing pirates this week! Our 4th and 5th graders did a fantastic job performing in Pirates! The Musical. Special thanks to Mr. Howes for all of his hard work.
The theme of May's Town Hall was gratitude. Hollywood students made a wonderful video showing gratitude for their teachers for the start of Teacher Appreciation Week. Since this was the last Town Hall for our graduating 5th graders, they made and passed down flowers to the 4th graders, who will be next year's school leaders.
Ms. Dryanski's 1st graders took a trip to the Field Museum. They had an amazing day learning and exploring and even got up close and personal with a replica of Sue's head! What a fantastic experience!
