We are so grateful for our ongoing partnership with Arts Are Elementary! 🌟
Our third-grade classrooms have been buzzing with creativity these past couple weeks as students learn the art of pop-up books. By exploring the mechanics of paper engineering, these young artists are blending storytelling with 3D design.
It’s truly incredible to see these creators bring their imagination to life off the page! ✂️📖✨

Our 4th grade was buzzing with excitement today during an inspiring visit from Peter Brown! He brought his stories to life by sketching The Wild Robot in real-time, answering student questions, and signing books for our young fans.

🚀 GOING LIVE WITH THE ISS!
We are currently hovering somewhere between Earth and the stars! 🌎✨ Our students are having the incredible opportunity to speak live with astronauts Dr. Christopher Williams and Maine’s very own Dr. Jessica Meir straight from the International Space Station.
The energy in the room is electric as some of our 5th graders step up to the mic to ask their questions. It’s not every day you get to talk to a hometown hero while they’re orbiting the planet! 🛰️👩🚀

We may have started the day in the dark ☘️⚡… but our St. Patrick’s Day spirit was shining bright! The luck of the Irish is definitely on our side today. 💚💡
This week, 6 of our HBS classes are leveling up with the Maine DOE’s Winter Classic! ❄️💻 We are so proud to be part of the 5,000 students across Maine traveling this digital gameboard to master the tech of tomorrow! 🌲✨
Check out our digital adventures:
🎬 Two Truths & AI: Students became AI detectives! 🕵️♂️ They analyzed movie posters to spot "glitches"—finding weird text, missing details, or other strange things that shouldn't be there! 🤖❌
🧊 The Ice Kingdom: We stepped into a virtual winter wonderland using Augmented Reality (AR) to explore a massive, interactive ice village! 📱🧊
🎨 Machine Learning: Using Quick Draw, we went behind the scenes to see exactly how AI learns to recognize our doodles in real-time! 🧠✏️
From digital citizenship and computer science to AR/VR and the arts, our students are proving they are officially future-ready alongside thousands of their peers! 🚀🎓

Snowy recess = pure joy! ❄️⛄
Smiles, laughter, and lots of snowy fun—our students are absolutely loving the snow at recess!

Students across HBS had a blast playing Feelings Charades! 🎭 From acting excited to showing confused and even afraid, every class jumped in to explore how we express emotions without using words. Such a fun way to build communication skills! 💛
Ms. Dugas’ 5th graders kicked off their descriptive writing unit with a fun twist! Students created an activity square about an activity they enjoy—describing it without ever naming it. Then, using a stack of everyone’s words, they chose one and coded their Bee-Bot to navigate to the matching square. Writing, guessing, and coding all in one activity!

Students in Ms. Novak’s class took on the “Commonalities” challenge during their BARR lesson! 🍦📚🎬 They compared favorites—like ice cream flavors, school subjects, and movies—and built sticky note towers as they found things in common. The more connections, the taller the tower! 🧱✨

Our classrooms spent time connecting and getting to know one another through fun conversation starters designed to build relationships and practice conversation skills. Students sat in two circles and shared answers to questions like:
🥦 “What’s the grossest food you’ve ever eaten?”
🐠 “Would you rather swim underwater like a fish or fly like a bird?”
👥 “Would you rather be around a bunch of people or by yourself?”
This activity helped students strengthen communication, practice active listening, and find new connections across their classrooms. We loved hearing their creative, funny, and thoughtful responses! 💬❤️

Our 3rd–5th graders created “Rainbows in the Clouds” after learning about Dr. Maya Angelou’s message to be a rainbow in someone else’s life. Students shared ideas like “smile at them” or “be funny when someone is sad.” Each class had its own unique rainbow design—bright with kindness and creativity! 🌈💛

Our classrooms were full of color as students designed Family Shields! 🛡️ Each student shared drawings that showed their family’s favorite meal, activity, dream vacation, and a picture of their loved ones. This activity helped everyone connect, learn about each other’s backgrounds, and build a stronger classroom community. 🌟

Big thanks to BCEF for funding new Drums Alive equipment for all HBS students! 🥁 Our third graders are already putting it to great use!

HBS is kicking off BARR (Building Assets, Reducing Risks)! 💙 Students led “Do You Know Your Neighbor” by asking fun questions like “Do you like cookies?” 🍪 and “Do you have more than one sibling (do pets count? 🐾)” A great way to laugh, connect, and grow our HBS community! ✨
🎉📚💙 Two leaders, one amazing team @ HBS! 🐾💙 Mrs. Blanchard + Mrs. Kenny 🌟✨
