2017 - 2018 - New Blog

Dear New Students and Families,

I look forward to meeting you tomorrow at the "Meet the Teacher" event from 9:00 - 10:00 AM in our classroom Room 424. 

For the 2017-2018 School Year, the new class website will be
https://hivefive2017.blogspot.com/



This mnemonic is derived from: 
H (Hagstrom) + IVE (Issaquah Valley Elementary) = Hive
+ 5th Grade = Five
+ the (starting) year = 2017

Kind regards,

Mr. Hagstrom

Hive 5 Last Week of 2016-17 School Year

What an amazing year we've had!

I'll miss you all dearly.  

It's been a magical year and I appreciate you greatly. 

Thank you for letting me teach you; I was lifted by all the growing and light you each brought with you to share. 

You are wonderful. 

Kindest regards,


Mr. Hagstrom

Monday & Tuesday:

All of the students worked together to create cards with student sayings and to attach the friendship bracelets. As a class we created nearly 100 cards and affixed most of the 200+ bracelets made by students to express friendship, welcome, and hope to immigrants looking forward to a new life in America, to refugees seeking safe haven, and other people victimized by violence or suffering that students became aware of through our class readings, or studies of current events, or sharing of our concerns in our community circle times in the classroom.
