What a great day in Spanish Club! Today we learned about Spanish culture and created traditional Spanish pens together. A heartfelt thank you to our three 5th grade guests for their help and for sharing their ideas with us.
Today's Spanish Club session was full of flavor and fun at our "Food & Fiesta" event! A big thank you to our special guest speaker, Mrs. Boyd, for sharing her knowledge and enthusiasm with our students. They had a wonderful time learning about traditional Spanish drinks like agua de horchata and agua de jamaica. ¡Qué delicioso!

Happy 100th Day of Kindergarten Hillside
As we wrap up our Renaissance unit in 5th grade, students had the opportunity to experience a small part of Michelangelo’s struggle while painting the Sistine Chapel. They challenged themselves by creating artwork upside down, just as he did!
Was it easy? Not at all! But through perseverance and effort, students pushed through the challenge and produced some truly amazing pieces of art. We are so proud of their creativity and determination!🎨🖌️🖼️#hillsided93 #MichelangeloChallenge #curipod
