Mrs. MacMillan provides targeted ESL instruction, building upon the OG+ phonics foundation established in the classroom. 🌟📚

OG+ (Orton-Gillingham Plus) is a structured, multisensory approach to phonics that helps students break down and understand the building blocks of language.

ESL instruction supports multilingual learners by strengthening their English listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills—meeting them right where they are and helping them grow with confidence.

Together, OG+ and ESL create a powerful, supportive learning experience for all students. 💬✨

From reading and writing to hands-on activities, they demonstrated curiosity, creativity, and respect while exploring the contributions of those who have served. We’re so proud to see our learners engaged and making connections that matter! 👏✨

🚓 Today, our 5th graders had an incredible opportunity to learn from Officer Sanchez of the Hasbrouck Heights Police Department during LEADS (Law Enforcement Against Drugs & Safety) instruction session!

LEADS is a program designed to educate students about making safe choices, understanding the dangers of drugs and alcohol, and developing strong leadership and decision-making skills. Our students engaged in thoughtful discussions, asked insightful questions, and practiced strategies for staying safe both at school and in the community.

We are so grateful for the partnership between our schools and the HHPD, which continues to provide mentorship, guidance, and real-world learning experiences for our students. Collaboration like this helps build a safer, stronger, and more connected community—one student at a time! 💙

🧠✨ Brain Break Time! ✨🧠

Our 2nd graders take a quick brain break in between lessons to recharge and refocus. Brain breaks are short, fun activities that give students a chance to stretch, move, or relax their minds, helping them come back to learning with more energy and focus.

Even a few minutes can make a big difference in attention and mood! 💡🎈

💡 Professional Learning in Action!
Today, Lincoln and Euclid School teachers came together for six hours of follow-up training in IMSE OG+, building on the 30 hours of initial instruction they completed.

IMSE OG+ (Institute for Multi-Sensory Education – Orton-Gillingham Plus) is a research-based, structured literacy approach that helps teachers support all learners—especially those who benefit from explicit, multisensory reading instruction.

📚 We’re proud of our teachers’ continued commitment to professional growth and literacy excellence! #LifelongLearners #StructuredLiteracy #IMSE #OrtonGillingham #HasbrouckHeightsSchools

Mrs. Kest quickly reviews High-Frequency Word List A with our Kindergarten students! 💬✨
High-frequency words are the words children see most often when reading and writing — words like the, and, it, and is. Because these words appear so frequently, recognizing them automatically helps young readers build fluency and confidence.

You can find List A on the school website. Our Kindergarteners work hard all year to master Lists A, B, C, and D before the end of the year! 💪📚 #Kindergarten #EarlyLiteracy #HighFrequencyWords #BuildingReaders #HasbrouckHeightsSchools
