HAMPTON HAPPENINGS
Mrs. Priscilla Joiner, Principal Mrs. Angela Clouse, Assistant Principal
Hampton Families,
The safety of our students and staff continues to be a top priority.
During our car rider arrival and dismissal, please be mindful of all
pedestrians. Please ensure you are slowly approaching and
departing campus. Please remember to observe the hands-free
cell phone policy that is in place on Ft. Bragg. Additionally, after
we return from winter break we would like to encourage students
to open their own car doors during arrival and dismissal. Our staff
will still be outside to moni-
tor, greet students, and
check IDs, but we are trying
to encourage students to be-
come more independent.
Thanks for your support!

HPS Purpose Statement At Hampton Primary School
we collaborate, persevere
through challenges,
respect others,
and take responsibility
for our learning. MUSIC MATTERS
First Grade Winter and Kindergarten Spring Concerts
The Hampton Primary School Winter Concert will be on Tuesday,
December 11, 2018 at 5 PM in our Commons. Our musical play is
"The Great Big Holiday Bake Off". The HPS 1st grade students will
sing 7 songs with a finale reprise and with speaking parts per-
formed by a few students from every 1st grade learning studio. We
are excited and proud to coordinate, direct, and present this event!
Kindergarten students will perform in the Hampton Primary School
Spring Concert in six months, next May 2019. Kindergarteners are
busy learning Music Education concepts by creating, performing,
responding and connecting with various songs and instrument
centers while continuing with instrument families of the orchestra.
With Hampton Pride

N U R S E ’ S N O T E S YES, the power is
in your hands to
prevent the Flu!
Can you imagine if your family never got
sick again from a respiratory infection?
What are respiratory infections you may
ask? A respiratory infection is a common
viral infection that affects the nose,
throat, and airways. Respiratory infections include the flu, adeno virus,
RSV, common cold, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, bronchitis, pneumonia,
Coxsackie virus, Streptococcus, Pneumococcus, TB and more!
The T Zone is the only portal of entry into the human body for ALL res-
piratory infections. The T Zone consists of the eyes, nose, and mouth.
Practicing the 4 Principles of Hand Awareness behaviors will help pre-
vent you from getting sick!
Thank you for helping to “Spread the word and not the germs!”
Healthy Children Learn Better!

True Flu Prevention:
1. Do not touch the T-Zone
2. Hand wash regularly
3. Get vaccinated
COUNSELOR’S CORNER
During the month of December, we will focus on identifying and re-
specting feelings. The kindergarten and first grade students are talk-
ing about and demonstrating what it means to be a bucket filler at
Hampton. The concept of bucket filling is that everyone has an invisi-
ble bucket that holds their good thoughts and feelings. You feel happy
when your bucket is full and sad when it is empty. You need other people to fill your
bucket and other people need you to fill their buckets. You fill a bucket when you show
love to someone, when you say or do something kind, when you give a smile or when you
make someone feel special. We want all of our students to show respect for others and
be bucket fillers.
The holidays are upon us. We understand that travel increases during this time of year.
Please be mindful of student attendance. The school curriculum continues and students
will be busy learning until they are dismissed for holiday break. If you plan to be out of
town during instructional time, please notify the office and communicate with your
child's teacher to assure he/she has the work that needs to completed while absent.

As your student continue to learn their basic skills, we will be incorporating our
LOCOMOTOR SKILLS (hoping, jumping, galloping, leaping, side-sliding, walking, running,
and skipping) into our Physical Education Classes. Through various activities, we will be
refining these skills, so encourage your student to practice at home. Please continue to
send your student to school on their P.E. Day with their gym shoes/tennis shoes on.
Yours in Fitness,
Bonnie McMillan,
Physical Education Specialist

In both grade levels, we are going to begin to weave. Weaving is an old art form. People
used to use only woven material for their clothes. We are using weaving as an art form. I
try to include texture into this art form. This is done by using different kinds of yarns in
our weavings.

The unit we are studying in our FLES Spanish class (Foreign
Language in Elementary Schools) is Unit 3 “Me and My Community.”
The kindergartners identify supermarkets, hospitals, parks, and other places in the com-
munity in Spanish. They also pair-share and practice saying where they live. For example,
the students ask, “¿Dónde vives?” (Where do you live?). And, the students respond,
“Vivo en Fort Bragg.” (I live in Fort Bragg). In teams, they draw places in their community
on the same sheet of large paper.
The first graders identify different people in the community and where they work.
Students listen to the humorous, fictional, Tumblebook story titled, La Estacion de los
Bomberos (The Fire Station) written by Robert Munsch.
In addition, the kindergartners and first graders are reviewing Unit 1 “Me and My
School” and Unit 2 “Me and My Family.” The students are also learning the Spanish
alphabet. They are learning the letter names and letter sounds. The students are also
comparing and contrasting the Spanish alphabet with the English alphabet. The stu-
dents are learning to find the similarities and differences between the two alphabet
languages.

The Hampton Library has been
having lots of fun with our read-
ing teams. Kindergartners are
the Read-a-lot Readers, and the
first graders are part of Team
1-2-3 Read!
So many great books are being
read - and prizes are being
claimed. Thank you, parents,
for your support and for signing
all those home reading logs
and team forms! We will
continue our reading teams all year.
The holidays soon will be here, and we hope
you will fill your children’s stockings with lots
of good books! Remember, a book is a
present you can open again and again.
Happy Reading!!!
