Music in the Air!! HMES Patriots had a special treat this morning!! Ms. Breen and Ms. Sanker played music for students as they enter the school.
All of the students in Mrs. San Soucie's class last week became authors! Students had to research an animal and write their own non-fiction book where they shared facts about the animal's appearance, diet, family, and habitat! Then students made their animals out of clay, and their own habitats. Students and families around the school were invited to come and meet the authors where they shared a presentation about their book, and even signed copies of their books for various students! Hats off to these scholarly authors!
