Hillside School's Fun Friday

Making Learning Fun One Friday at a Time!

The Fun Friday Menu

Fridays in June are going to be filled with both learning and fun for students at Hillside School! The menu of activities below outlines what the school day will entail. Students should work to complete each task and should be ready to share a final project or discuss what they did in a Zoom meeting with their homeroom teacher at 12:00 pm each Friday. Individual classroom Zoom links will be sent from your student's teacher.

Fridays in June are all going to be SCHOOL SPIRIT DAYS! Have your child join in and share his or her love for Hillside by wearing their yellow Hillside School t-shirt as they participate in Fun Friday!

BeeTV will also be shared on Fridays during the month of June, so "bee" on the lookout for our latest episode!

Students should share something (a picture, comment, video, etc.) from each Fun Friday on their grade level Padlet. The link to each grade level's Padlet can found at the bottom of the newsletter.
