Dear Hardy families,

Highlight from the past week

*On Monday, we had author Rajani LaRocca come to Hardy and present with students. Thanks to the CAS (Creative Arts & Sciences) parent volunteers for their efforts planning this program for the Hardy students!

*Little Yoga Friends visits Kindergarten! The children learned about yoga and mindfulness and had a ton of fun along the way. Yoga supports social-emotional growth and physical development and teaches children to slow down, observe their thoughts, and feel safe and calm within their own bodies. 

*On Friday, we had a School Spirit Day. It was great to see students showing off their Huskies and Hawks pride!


 

News from the Library!

Last week all K-5 classes shared and explored more about the Lunar New Year in different parts of the world.  We shared stories and legends from China, Korea, Vietnam, and Taiwan, and compared traditions and celebrations from different places.  Here are a few of the stories we shared:

February 1st begins Black History Month and we will spend some of our library time exploring a selection of biographies about amazing Black innovators, artists, scientists, athletes, and activists.  Take a look at some of the books we will be sharing!
