The Hillsboro Public/School Library has a new shelf labeled: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW WHEN YOU GET OLDER: This shelf of books covers adulting 101 for those younger college kids, money management, what to think about before retirement, forms for personal use, forms to organize where things like paperwork/policies/items in your life/digital passwords in case something happens to you, basic forms to use for wills, trusts, estates, probate, social security, Medicare, disability, downsizing, long term care, caregiving, etc. Our state cataloger stated, "Even though these are heavy reading materials, they are a very much needed resource in all libraries." Come check it out...literally and figuratively.
Parent-Teachers conferences are this Thursday, November 3rd, at both schools from 3:45 to 9:00PM.
Hillsboro Elementary School is HIRING! Looking to hire a new December college graduate.
Our elementary kitchen staff: Stevie, Kathy, and Lilly are the absolute best in providing fun memories and healthy food for these elementary students. We had the most delicious worms and eyeballs, creepy jello with rings, and jack-o-lantern oranges! Then for snack they made each kiddo a cupcake with cool colors! Yum!
In the Hillsboro Elementary Hallways:
Mrs. Nagel’s class read the book, “Biscuit”, by Alyssa Satin Capucilli. They read it in various ways. Mrs. Nagel read it to them first. Then, throughout the week, they echo read and choral read. Today, they finally got to partner read! Students enjoyed listening to their friend’s expressions and reading pace. Learning to read more independently is a goal that the new Bookworms curriculum pushes for in classrooms. Nicely done! 📚

Mrs. Podoll's first graders working hard during shared reading. This is part of the elementary school's new reading curriculum; Bookworms.
In the Elementary Hallways:
Here is a student working on a phonemic awareness activity. We use kinetic sand in this exercise by rolling sand into little “bubble gum” balls. Then as the student says each sound in a CVC word they get to smash each ball. After the student smashes each sound, they then write each sound and blend the sounds together to write the word. We write sight words in kinetic sand using a stick. This is also a multi sensory activity, but it helps students learn not to push down too hard when writing (otherwise it’s hard to see the letters if they push too hard in the sand). #BurroPride
