A couple days ago, students in Señora Olympio's class celebrated Cinco de Mayo by making papel picado and flores de papel as well as trying some Mexican candy, which was a surprise for many taste buds.
Hauser certainly does have talent! Earlier today, Hauser students were treated to a wide range of performances from their fellow peers in the annual Hauser Talent Show.

Hauser students in 8th grade French enjoyed a lovely visit to the Art Institute of Chicago, followed by a delicious lunch at Léa's French Street Café.
Mrs. Harvey's 6th grade math students have been putting a creative spin on learning by exploring tessellations as a fun, curriculum-connected brain break. By designing repeating patterns that fit together without gaps or overlaps, students are reinforcing important geometry concepts like transformations, symmetry, and spatial reasoning—all while giving their brains a refreshing reset.
These purposeful brain breaks are a win-win: they keep students engaged, reduce stress, and deepen understanding in a hands-on, visual way. It’s been exciting to see students express their creativity while still building strong mathematical skills—proving that sometimes the best learning happens when we step back, think differently, and have a little fun along the way!

The Hauser Dance Co. recently had the exciting opportunity to take a special trip to RB for a private viewing of the RB Orchesis/RDE spring show, “Kaleidoscope." This experience gave our dancers a front-row seat to the creativity, talent, and dedication that goes into a high school dance production in hopes of inspiring their upcoming show on May 22nd at 7:00 pm in the Hauser Auditorium. From dynamic choreography to powerful storytelling, the RB performances were both inspiring and energizing for our students.
Beyond the performance itself, this trip served as a meaningful connection between our program and the high school dance community, especially getting to see many of our RB choreographers in their element. It allowed our dancers to envision what their future in dance can look like and gave them something exciting to aspire to in the years ahead. We are so grateful for opportunities like this that motivate, inspire, and strengthen the bridge between Hauser and the incredible programs awaiting our students at RB. Thank you to Ms. Dall and the fabulous RB Orchesis/RDE dancers for a great afternoon!
