Rockin Redwings
The Rockin' Redwings had a busy week, competing in the State Championships, performing for Halloween and playing at NJCU Brass Day. On Saturday, the band took their fall show, "My Way," to Barnegat High School to compete in the Group 1-A State Championships, performing alongside the top 15 bands in the state. The Rockin' Redwings set a school record with a score of 87.02, placing 6th in competition.
On Tuesday, the band was in action again playing for the Brandt Halloween Parade in the morning. That afternoon they performed at the Wallace parade and the town Ragamuffin Parade after school, leading the crowd down Washington Street to the Little League baseball field.
The following day, Hoboken's finest brass players in middle school and high school joined with standout players from around the county to create an All Star Band at NJCU Brass Day. Our students played alongside NJCU students, learning advanced techniques from university professors.
Strings at Hoboken MS
Students engaged in partner play, working with peers to practice reading bowings before implementing them into their performance! On Wednesday, December 6th, their hard work will be on full display at our district's Winter Concert at Hoboken High School. Tickets can be purchased online by visiting https://hhsnj.booktix.com! Bravo to all of these outstanding students for all of their hard work!
Pre AP Theatre
We had an awesome day on Halloween finishing up our Hip Hop dance sequence! And students in the 8th grade finished their second product of the marking period in which they further explores themed movements and the importance of why movement creators do what they do. Their own renditions of the “ultimate handshake” were fun to see! Great effort to all students this week!
Music at Wallace School
This week, we had some fun on Tues. for Halloween in band and lunch chorus. Our music performing groups are progressing nicely in preparation for our winter concerts and events. 5th grade band members are preparing concert band arrangements of Jingle Bells, Jolly Old St. Nicholas, and Up on the Housetop. 4th graders are joining their older peers to play Jingle Bells.
The lunch chorus advanced 4th and 5th grade singers are preparing to sing Carol of the Bells at the town tree lighting and concert. Full chorus on Fridays is singing a mix of pop and holiday songs. The lunch chorus will be singing at the Hoboken homeless shelter in a few weeks as well.
The students are looking forward to all these performance activities. Concert letters were sent home and posted on class dojo. Have a wonderful week!
Art at Brandt School
We then began to work on a Tim Burton inspired self portrait. The students are really enjoying this project and turning themselves into a character influenced by his style of art.
Music at Brandt School
This week, our Kindergarten & 1st Grade students had the opportunity to use BoomWhackers, rhythmic instruments that create pitch and melody. The students were able to utilize these instruments by playing the songs “Day-O” & “Ghostbusters.”
Students recreated the melodies of both songs and were able to hear their parts among their friends. Throughout the lesson, our students gained strong rhythm and sight-reading abilities and were successful in playing awesome music!
Music at Connors School
Complex music math is not an easy skill to master. For example, adding up whole notes, quarter rests and dotted half notes can be difficult. With lots of practice our students will be experts at this very important skill. The knowledge of note values is something they use when playing the various instruments that they play in the Connors Band. Here is Lucas with his music math worksheet filled in with all the correct answers.
In Ms. Rodriguez’s class it was time for a little bass clef fun. The notes on the bass clef are placed on different lines and spaces than the treble clef. This can make reading the notes on the bass clef difficult after you have mastered the treble clef. Sometimes it’s hard to get out of your old world and into a new one, but our 4th grade students did this with ease. Here is Janyvah with her bass clef notes perfectly filled in!
Kindergarten at Brandt School
This week in ELA, kindergarteners answered the essential question “How do tools help us learn?” Our big book of the week - The Handiest Things In The World - helped us to practice our retelling and comprehension skills. We identified our letter of the week P, along with corresponding beginning, middle, and end sounds. Our sight word a was written and recognized in sentences. We also used verbs to describe action in a sentence. Our dual language learners also practiced the letter L as well as the sight word un.
In Math, our learners were introduced to measurement collection. We discussed attributes of different objects and how they can be measured. We also shared strategies for comparing longer and shorter.
In Social Studies, we learned about our town by describing common landforms and natural features. As a class, we listed landforms and bodies of water in our surrounding areas. We compared pictures of our town years ago to what it looks like today.
2nd Grade at Brandt School
It was a fun and spooky week in 2nd grade!
In Social Studies, students learned about the different ways that families can change and the neighborhoods we live in. Students were able to identify the neighborhoods we live in here as well as others that are different to our community.
In Reading, students have been practicing their expression and fluency to better understand character’s feelings in grade level texts as well as stories at their independent level. Students will get to participate in a reader’s theater at the end of the week to demonstrate their skills that they have been practicing all week.
In Writing, students finalized their small moment writing pieces and presented their work to their classmates during a publishing party. Students also started a piece about gratitude and what they are thankful for in honor of Thanksgiving coming up later this month.
In Math, students have moved further along into our unit of Investigations. This week, we worked on addition and subtraction story problems with the result unknown. Students utilized different strategies and manipulatives to find solutions to these problems.
Individualized Learning Pathway-Johns Hopkins Center for talented Youth at Brandt School
During the Individualized Learning Pathway (ILP) period, students who have qualified to participate in the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth (CTY) programming engage in a wide array of verbal course offerings that address their specific strengths and interests. Johns Hopkins CTY believes in researching and advancing ways to identify and nurture academically talented learners. CTY furthers research, guides educators and families and inspires students from diverse communities and backgrounds to pursue their intellectual passions and create the world of tomorrow.
This week, we would like to highlight our grades 2 and 3 field trip to the Meadowlands Environment Center through our membership with the Hudson County Gifted and Talented Consortium: Marsh Explorers
Our 2nd and 3rd Grade CTY students traveled to the Meadowlands Environment Center where they were greeted by the friendly and knowledgeable educators on-site. The students engaged in a program called Marsh Explorers that is designed to immerse them in the salt marsh habitat. Following the introduction to this unique wetland community, students had the exciting opportunity to act as field biologists, collecting live specimens. They took their findings back to the classroom, where the various specimens were identified based on physical characteristics. Our young biologists were challenged with the task of piecing together a local food chain! It was an incredibly exciting experience at the Meadowlands Environment Center!

Kindergarten at Connors School: Ms. Bartolotti, Ms. Fernandez, Ms. Fleischer, Ms. Watson, Mrs. Schain, and Ms. Ramos
ELA: This week, the essential question was, "What shapes do you see around you?" The letter of the week was the letter Tt, and the sight word of the week was the word like. Kindergarteners listened to the story Shapes All Around, which is an informational story. Kindergarteners were able to retell the story by drawing one important fact! Kindergarteners also listened to the interactive read-aloud and answered comprehension questions. Our KOALA-fied Kindergarteners also independently read We Like Tam!, and students identified the main topic in this story. Way to go KOALA-fied Kindergarteners!
Social Studies: This week’s focus during Safety week was Fire Drill Safety. Students learned about firefighters and why we practice fire drills. We learned a fire safety song to help students remember the steps for a fire drill.
Science: Kindergarten had a great time celebrating Halloween in science. Students were asked which solution would dissolve candy corn the fastest. The solutions were salt water, water, baking soda water, and vinegar. Students drew their hypothesis and the results. They had a great time!
2nd Grade at Connors School: Ms. Rinaldi, Ms. Garcia, Ms. Criqui, Ms. Courtney, Mr. Donovan, and Mrs. White
Math: This week we wrapped up Unit 1 of Investigations. We have been using numbers, symbols, pictures, and words to represent a solution. While reading our story problems, we are able to visualize, represent, and solve both addition and subtraction problems with the result unknown. We can now share strategies for solving both addition and subtraction problems. On Thursday, we reviewed the study guide in its entirety and had the opportunity to ask any questions in order to prepare for the assessment. On Friday, 2nd graders took their Unit 1 assessment. 2nd grade teachers are so proud of all of your hard work!
ELA: This week our second graders learned about fables. The essential question of this text set was "what can animals in stories teach us?" The reading skill they learned about was sequencing and characters within the story. The reading strategy they learned about is predicting what may happen next in the story. The phonics skill this week was soft c and soft g. They learned that c says the k sound next to a, o, u, but the c says the s sound next to e, i, y. They learned that the g says the g sound next to a, o, u, but the g says the j sound next to e, i, y. Students continued to work on their research reports, they're working so hard!
Social Studies: This week in social studies our Digital Citizens learned more about internet safety. We learned about digital trails in order to explore what information is OK to share online. We now know that the information we share online leaves a digital footprint or "trail". We also learned about internet privacy to understand that we should never give out private information online. We can now recognize the kind of information that is considered private.
Special Moments: On Tuesday, it was Halloween! We had our parade in the morning, and we were so excited to see so many of our grown-ups watching us show off our costumes. During ELA, we wrote a spooky story and decorated a haunted house to go with it. During math, we had Halloween centers with word problems, to help us prepare for our Unit 1 assessment. We also designed our Halloween craft thanks to our PTO moms. All students received Halloween goodie bags from their 2nd grade teachers. We hope everyone had an amazing Halloween trick or treating!
4th Grade at Connors School: Ms. Schulz, Mrs. Rodriguez, Ms. Stubbe, Ms. Goodwin, Ms. Courtney, Ms. Romanowski, and Mr. Donovan
Math: Phenomenal 4th Grade Mathematicians began their study of division in Unit 3 of Investigations. Students discussed the basics of division and worked on word problems. Students learned the different situations in division problems, sharing and grouping. Students used their knowledge of multiplication to solve division problems.
ELA: Phenomenal 4th Grade Readers wrapped up Reading Wonders Unit 1 by reviewing the focus skills of Plot/Conflict, Central Idea/Relevant Details, Idioms, and Suffixes. Students worked in a small group or with a partner to read and annotate texts before applying their skills to discuss and answer practice questions. After the review sessions, they completed the Unit 1 Test.
Social Studies: This week, 4th graders continued to learn about Connors School safety procedures. This week they learned more about fire drill safety. They also continued to learn about the Maya, Inca Empire, and Aztec Empire. We discussed what life was like for each of those groups. Keep up the great learning 4th graders!
Physical Education at Connors School
Most classes transitioned to the soccer portion of this unit and were introduced to the skills of dribbling and passing. On Tuesday we took the opportunity to celebrate Halloween with different holiday activities, Principal Addi even joined in a few of our Halloween games!
Kindergarten at Wallace School
This was an exciting week for our young Wildcats as they celebrated Halloween. Students participated in our annual Wallace Halloween Parade and got to show off their costumes in front of all of the spectators! This is always a highlight of the school year for both students and staff.
In ELA this week,our Wildcats mastered the new sight word “like.” They learned the letter T through phonics activities and guided reading groups. Students did a close reading of the nonfiction text “Shapes All Around” to explore all of the shapes we see around us. A reread of the week’s big book encouraged students to identify the topic and key details of the text. Students also made predictions and reviewed basic concepts of print. Our Wildcats got to have some fun dancing to their phonics song “My Two Ton Turtle.” They have now mastered enough letter sounds to begin encoding and decoding short CVC words with our blending boards!
In Math, Wildcats got to have some fun with Halloween themed math activities like “Shape Jack O’ Lantern” and “Spooky Roll and Write.” Students are continuing to develop language for comparing quantities to determine greater and lesser amounts with “Grab and Count.”
2nd Grade at Wallace School
It was an exceptionally fun last week of October in second grade! Our second graders had a blast on our field trip to Demarest Farm. They each picked a pumpkin from the patch and enjoyed some apple cider and donuts! We also celebrated Halloween this week. Everyone looked so great in their costumes marching in the parade!
In Math, we are beginning our Geometry unit. This week the children started exploring 2D and 3D shapes. They focused on identifying shapes and their attributes. Students built Halloween puzzles using tangram shapes. They also went on a shape scavenger hunt around our classroom!
In ELA, our readers focused on identifying story elements. We read some of our favorite Halloween stories - Stumpkin and Room On The Broom. After reading, the children worked together to identify the characters, setting, problem and solution. We are growing as readers in second grade!
4th Grade at Wallace School
ELA
Our 4th grade readers began their new novel, “Ancestors Approved.” Ancestors Approved is a bustling anthology of 16 short stories framed by opening and closing poems all connected to the annual intertribal powwow in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Readers are immersed in the sights, sounds, energy, and emotions of a powwow experience as diverse Native protagonists prepare for, travel to, and converge on the event for a variety of reasons: They’re experienced or novice powwow dancers; vendors’ kids helping to sell the “World’s Best Fry Bread” or corn soup or jewelry on the powwow circuit; one is a wryly resigned traveler with a lively group of Choctaw Elders; another is staying with his cousin while his professor parents speak at the university.
Our 4th grade readers also began Unit 2 week 1 in Reading Wonders. This week students learned to summarize by using Somebody, wanted, but, so, then as a guide to help students understand how to summarize a story. We also focused on central ideas and details as a whole group and during Literacy Centers.
Math
Our 4th grade mathematicians discussed strategies for solving division problems and solving division problems with remainders. Students also discussed division problems with remainders, and focused on how the remainder affects the solution in each problem situation.
Our 4th graders began building multiple towers. Students generated a list of multiples of 2-digit numbers and examined patterns and relationships in those lists.
Social Studies
Our 4th graders are starting Chapter 2 in the Social Studies Textbook, “Why Did Europeans Come to America?” For the next 5 weeks students will examine how and why Europeans tried to cross the Atlantic Ocean. Then they will explore the Spanish exploration and colonization of the Americas. Students will look into the founding of the English colony of Jamestown. And finally, students will analyze the reasons for the founding of Plymouth Colony.
6th Grade Math at Hoboken MS
This week our sixth grade mathematicians worked on Topic 3: Numeric and Algebraic Expressions. In this topic students were able to understand and represent exponents, find greatest common factors and least common multiples, write and evaluate numeric and algebraic expressions and simplify algebraic expressions.
Students completed their mid-topic assessment and are now working on discovering how to write algebraic expressions by analyzing patterns, word phrases, and identifying the parts of an expression.
7th Grade Math at Hoboken MS
Students were surprised to learn that one of the leading causes of climate change includes methane produced from livestock and why global warming can actually make temperatures colder. Next week, students will focus on learning about the types of ecosystems that we will talk about throughout the rest of the year.
8th Grade Social Studies at Hoboken MS
Pre Algebra
This week was spooky in Pre-Algebra! We had so much fun celebrating Halloween with all of our fun costumes. Students spent this week using the Pythagorean theorem to find missing sides of a triangle. They mastered how to find the hypotenuse of a right triangle, an essential part of the process, and were able to figure out which side of the triangle they were solving for. I was so proud of all my students this week! Great job everyone and enjoy the weekend!
Pre AP Algebra
This week we focused again on our mantra “Where does it start and how is it changing?” but looked at contexts where we did not know the actual initial value but a value further down the line. We then considered hot to determine other values of a function based on this given value and a rate of change. For example - we looked at a scenario in which snowy tree cricket chirps per minute might give the temperature outside. We only knew that at 120 chirps per minute, the temperature would be 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Students then used the fact that the temperature increased at a rate of ¼ degree per chirp to determine the temperature at other chirp levels.
We also considered whether this type of model was realistic and useful given that by the time we got back to zero chirps, it was still 40 degrees outside. This limited our use of the model. After looking at several similar contexts, we derived the point-slope form of a linear function and are not comparing that to the slope-intercept model we had been using until this point. This week we also did a good bit of graphing - sketching the “walks” of students across the room and learning the basics of the online Desmos graphing calculator.
Ms. Tank's Mathematicians at Hoboken HS
Mrs. Tank's Pre-AP Algebra 2 class learned how to model a quadratic equation for finding the maximum area of an animal pen given the length of the fence. They also used Desmos.com to graph the model . Students also checked the appropriateness of the model by creating a residual plot on Desmos.com. Students in Algebra 2 CP completed a lesson on arithmetic sequences and derived the recursive and explicit rules for the given sequences. They also applied the rules to real world situations and practiced problems from the textbook and on Albert.io .
In Mrs. Tank's AP Pre-Calculus class, students started exploring exponential functions- key features and transformations. They also graphed some real time data and also found the exponential model using desmos.com. AP Calculus students started using Implicit differentiation using various techniques like power rule, product rule and quotient rule and practiced problems from the textbook and Albert.io. Students in all of Mrs. Tank's class completed their test and quiz corrections from last week during extra help time.
Día De Los Muertos in Hoboken HS World Language
In Spanish class, students had a memorable cultural experience as they learned more in-depth about a colorful and emotional Mexican tradition, “El Día de Los Muertos.” Our students learned that El Día de los Muertos has been acknowledged on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. This emblematic Mexican holiday has pre-Hispanic origins, that is, prior to the colonization of Mexico.
Students were able to visit some different “virtual stations” via Google Classroom to learn about this tradition. Each station was focused on a different topic related to el Día de Muertos. There were six stations in total, and each student had to visit at least four. They got to choose which four they wanted to visit! The stations included ¿Qué es el Día de Muertos?, Las calaveras, El altar de Muertos, La flor de cempasúchil, and Las mariposas Monarca. At each station, they read a short article and/or a video to watch. The students completed reading and comprehension questions about the Día de Los Muertos. We will continue to learn about the Day of the Dead by learning about La Catrina, Señor Zapata, and Ojos de Díos.
Mr. Torres' Engineering at Hoboken HS
3D printing is a type of additive manufacturing process which creates objects by placing one layer on top of another. This week students have been introduced to 3D printing and its importance in Engineering Design for creating models and prototypes. The past few weeks students have been practicing spatial visualization by sketching 2D and 3D models in their notebooks.
This week, they have started to use computer aided design (CAD) to build solid models. From simple shapes such as cubes, cylinders and spheres, they are slowly getting more comfortable using more complex objects. Their challenge this week is to follow a self-paced online tutorial to build a camera, a soap dispenser and a domino piece.
Mr. Lebegue's Climate Change Action Group at Hoboken HS
Students in Hoboken High School's Environmental Science Club took part in a Climate Change Action Group event! The students met at Hoboken's Multi Service Center. They first heard speeches about climate change and its impact by Mayor Ravi Bhalla, Principal Environmental Planner Yasmine Pessar and Chief Sustainability Officer Jennifer Gonzalez.
The students then engaged with members of the Hoboken community for roundtable discussions on a variety of topics centered around global climate change. The objective was to come up with ideas to address the effects of climate change which threatens Hoboken's future.
Roundtable discussion 1's primary question was "Where are we now?" Roundtable discussion 2's primary question was "Where do we want to be?" And Roundtable discussion 3's primary question was "How do we get there?" The students listened to other members of the community and provided insight and ideas of their own.
Finally, each roundtable selected one representative to speak in front of the group and report out on what was discussed before the entire group. The students all felt like this was a great experience for them, not only for learning and sharing ideas related to global climate change but also networking in a professional setting.
Ms. Gomez' English at Hoboken HS
As we end October and begin the month of November, the seniors continue to read Beowulf, focusing on the themes of bravery and the hero trope. In this theme we will engage in a close study of the hero character, who in literature is known to overcome adversity and challenges, ultimately performing great acts of courage, valor, and mental, as well as physical, strength.
Analytical writing will accompany this unit of study, with a focus on content and organization/structure. Additionally, our twelfth graders continue to work on the current vocabulary list on Vocabulary.com.
Ms. Loughlin's DEI Classes
Diversity Equity and Inclusion classes visited the Hoboken History Museum's latest exhibit, "The Fires: 1978-1982" to understand how incidents of arson affected the Puerto Rican population.
Before traveling to the museum, students learned about Hoboken's many immigrant populations and the effects of gentrification.
Wallace Preschool Wildcats
This month students in Miss Lanza’s class learned about their five senses and how they can be used to observe a pumpkin.
First, they discussed how the outside looked, felt, smelt, and sounded. Then, they carved the inside and recorded their observations. Some of the observations included:
The pumpkin is bumpy.
The pumpkin is heavy.
The pumpkin smells like ice cream.
The pumpkin is big.
Preschool at 770 Jackson
Room 118 has had a spooktacular Halloween/Fall season. The class has been examining apples and pumpkins. Students learned the parts of a pumpkin and an apple and even compared how they are similar and different.
Apples can only have a maximum of 10 seeds inside while pumpkins can have LOTS! Both apples and pumpkins have what is called flesh inside, and skin on the outside. Both have stems and leaves and start out as flowers. The pumpkins grows from the ground where an apple grows from a tree.
The students also decorated the classroom with some spooky bats, puffy paint pumpkins, and fall colored leaves they decorated on their own.
Preschool at Brandt School
The students closely observed what was inside the pumpkin using a " Magnifying Glass Mediator " and used new vocabulary words to describe their observation through the Science Eyes activity. They had fun drawing their observations.
Preschool at Calabro
First, they observed the water beads with magnifying glasses and used descriptive words. Then, they drew the water beads and got to touch them. Some observations include "circle shape, round, cold, and rainbow colors.”
Preschool at Rue
This week in room 304, Ms.Darnisha and Ms. Pam's class celebrated Halloween. The class participated in a parade around the block to show off their costumes.
In the classroom students played a game where they had to poke a hole in a circle pumpkin to see if they won a prize. The class ended the day with trick or treating around the classroom.
Preschool at St. Francis
Students in Ms. Nadia's and Ms. Kattia's class had a blast at their Halloween parade, where the students got to show off their spooky Halloween costumes. They were walking around the block and singing with their parents. The children kept the fun going back in their classroom for the class party!
Preschool at Wallace
Today in Room 102 students were very excited to use their science eyes and see what is really on the inside of a pumpkin! Students used magnifying glasses to make sure they could see all of the details.
Once they got a good look inside of the pumpkin, they were able to draw what they saw on paper. When the children completed their picture, they told their teachers what they saw!
