COMMUNITY PROJECT:
We have been talking about being Bucket Fillers and acts of kindness in the elementary the last couple of weeks. So with that in mind, 1st/2nd graders and 3rd/4th graders had fun during PE on Thursday doing a community project. They went out and helped clean up leaves and sticks in yards around Hitchcock. So proud of them. #bucketfillers










NATIONAL EDUCATION WEEK: November 17-21
Throughout history and still today, education is one of the most important (if not the most important) piece to being a productive and successful citizen. Students learn to read, write, speak, and listen, how to solve problems of all kinds including math, gain knowledge about history and science, and dive deep into learning a variety of other subject matters. It is this information that helps shape who they are and what they want to do as adults. This education is truly the springboard for their future and the ability to be productive members of society and leaders in their families and communities. We are so blessed to have an amazing group of educators who truly care about our (your) students, who work very hard to provide the best education possible and push students to do their best each and every day. I am extremely thankful for all the passionate people that work at Hitchcock-Tulare School and hope you join me during National Education Week (November 17-21) in thanking them for all they do for our students and communities. Thank you!

Flame Test Fun in Chemistry!
This week in Chemistry, students explored how different elements produce unique colors when burned. 🌈 Each color happens because electrons in the atoms absorb energy and jump to higher levels—then release that energy as light when they return!
This same science is what makes fireworks burst with color on the 4th of July 🎆 and campfire colorants glow in fun shades at night 🔥. From bright greens 💚 to fiery reds ❤️ and cool blues 💙, our lab lit up with science in action! 🔬🔥
