Valentines 2026

Although students chose to keep things low-key, we still snuck in a Valentine’s box decoration competition, Minute to Win It, a game of Taboo with a February twist, and a Valentine exchange.

Holiday Celebration 2025

Again, thanks for all of the votes and for getting friends, family and coworkers to support our project!

Kids Court 2025

The students did a terrific job in Kids Court. Following opening remarks by Judge Jennifer Richards, the students completed a mock trial of B.B. Wolf versus Curly Pig. In the civil case, the jury sided in favor of B.B. Wolf.

Thank you to all the parents who were able to join us and generously shared pictures.

Holiday Card Submissions

Students participated in the district’s Holiday Art Contest, but with a twist. I asked them to consider what is iconic about Northern Nevada, what symbolizes our community, and to apply art techniques, we’ve learned over the last two years, to their pieces.

First Week of 5th Grade

Our first week included community building, academics, and even a little friendship bracelet making. We reintroduced our fluency protocol and shared scripts with 1st- and 2nd-grade classrooms about Hunsberger’s schoolwide expectations: being Responsible, Respectful, and Safe.

Field Day 2024

The families at Hunsberger put together an extremely impressive Field Day. Students had 10 different rotations with an opportunity to spend 10 minutes at each one. A pretty terrific day to end a pretty terrific year.

Grizzly Creek Ranch Field Trip

Posted are pictures of our visit to Grizzly Creek Ranch. It proved to be a terrific day with a host of great experiences.

Holiday Gift Exchange 2023

One of my favorite classroom traditions is the holiday card and board game White Elephant exchange. I want to express my gratitude to all the families who contributed by bringing in their favorite games, ensuring the continuation of this tradition and leading to an afternoon of fun.
