Principal’s Message
In mid-May, our students will be taking the STAR State Tests (CSTs). So, why are the CST’s important? They are a key
ingredient in our Academic Performance Index (API). API is a measurement of academic performance and progress of
individual schools in California. It is one of main components of the Public Schools Accountability Act passed in 1999.
API scores range from a low of 200 to a high 800. We are proud of our continued improvement in scores. With this
being said, CSTs and API score affect the entire community, as so much of a city’s image is contingent on the success of
the school district. We expect all of our students to be successful during testing and to take each and every test seriously;
it is our goal for every student to achieve, at minimum, proficiency in each content area. Our School Recognition
committee will be finalizing an incentive program in which students make significant gains in scores and/or move from
one level to the next will earn some rewards.
As we approach the end of another year at J.H. Hull I would like to thank Eva Blada, our PTSA president this year, the
PTSA Board, and all the parents who have contributed their time and energy to making this a great place for students to
go to school. They really are a great and dedicated group to work with! Just a few of the activities funded by the PTSA
include the 8th grade Field Day/Trip to Mulligans, Earth-dome Science Assemblies, Senior Scholarship Awards, prizes
for the Jog-a-thon… and more to come before the end of the year.
We were extremely fortunate to have Megan Wareham and Shari Kaku providing enrichments opportunities for some our
students. Megan and Shari facilitated our “Math Competition Club/Teams – made up of 6th, 7th and 8th grade members.
They will be competing in a Middle School Math Tournament on Saturday, April 27 th (J.H. Hull will be the host site) –
and I am certain that the students will gain some invaluable experience. We also will continue this next year. We need to
remember that more than 80 percent of tomorrow’s jobs will require skills in disciplines related to science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics, so we want to make sure that students are prepared to take part in these in-demand fields.
We had a very good turn out for our Parent Information Nights: “Motivation and Holding Middle School Kids
Accountable”, “Homework Without Stress, Goal Setting, Independence”. These great presentations were made by Dr.
Dave Feldman, our school Psychologist. Our Assistant Principal, Jayne Okazaki, did a wonderful presentation on
“College and Beyond.” This was during our College and Career Week. We had a fantastic Career Day with over 32
different jobs/vocations – enthusiastic and passionate individuals giving their time for this event. Our students gained a
lot of knowledge and information…more importantly – received the message that it takes hard work and to have goals
and a plan so you can have choices and the opportunity to pursue what you are excited about. A huge thank you to the
College and Career Committee: Nicole Carroll (Chairperson), Sara Golia, Kim Gauna, Cindy Gottschalk, Michelle
Amundson, Barbara Waldrop, and Dave Melo.
I would like to thank all of the teachers and staff for their time, effort and coordination of the Spring Festival. The
students had a great experience with fun games and activities – a time to celebrate their accomplishments and enjoy!
We have many things still to accomplish this year: STAR Testing, Spring Music Concert, History Day, 8 th grade
Promotion, just to name a few.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please call your child’s teachers to speak with them on the phone or to
schedule an appointment to meet with them in person. I welcome parent communication as well, but please remember to
call and make an appointment instead of “dropping by” as I feel terrible when I can’t speak with you because of another
appointment or conflict with my schedule. In the meantime, let’s keep working together to make Hull the best school
possible and a place where your children are able to reach their learning goals.
Mr. Lafferty

6th Grade Ancient Civilizations
We have had an exciting
year studying the ancient
civilizations of
Mesopotamia, Egypt, Israel,
India and China. Students
have learned how the
earliest humans hunted
animals and gathered plants
for food. As humans became
more developed, we studied
how civilizations, religions
and governments developed.
We asked many questions
along the way, such as:
Who were some of the
important people of the
time?
Where did most of the
people live?
What were these people’s
beliefs?
What was their language
and writing like?
What contributions did they
make?
How do these contributions
affect me?
deeper understanding of Greek
culture, students will participate
in their own Olympic games!
We will end the year with
the study of Greece and how
their civilization has
contributed so much to our
current society. As a final
activity and to enhance their
7th Grade World History
Our 7th Grade coverage off World
History has traveled many places so
far. We started in Ancient Rome, the
basis of our Western Civilization. We
then went on a worldwind tour of
Medieval Islam, Africa, China,
Japan, and Meso-America. The 7th
Grade then returned to Europe after
the fall of Rome, and followed the
rebuilding through to the Middle
Ages. Next, we are discovering how
the economic success of Europe leads
to the Renaissance, then
Exploration, a Scientific Revolution,
and ultimately, the Enlightenment
and the founding of the American
colonies.
On the extracurricular side,
we successfully fund-raised (with the
help of a generous PTSA donation)
for a field trip to the Renaissance
Faire set for April 19th. Learning
everything we can from our full day,
students who have signed up for
History Guilds (over a third of the
7th and 8th grade) will continue to
prepare to present our own
Renaissance Faire at Hull ,
scheduled for History Day, June
7th. In full swing already are the
Medical Guild, the Archers, Drama,
Alchemy & Magical Creatures, and
St. Michael’s Knights. In fact,
Archery practice after school for the
assigned guild members starts after
Spring Break!
Thank you to the 40 parents
who volunteered for our field trip. If
your student signed up for a guild,
we would also appreciate your help,
Parents, to run our History Day on
June 7th. Notices for meetings for
parent helpers will go out in late
April or Early May.

8th Grade United States History
This has been a year of increased
use technology in instruction. After
empowering students with basic
technology skills needed to utilize
district based Google Docs as well
as PowerPoint and Microsoft
Publisher, students have been given
choices on their projects to show
what they have learned. Students
have produced diversified projects
that highlight individual students'
attributes. Students learn in
different styles and hence have
been given the freedom to
express their mastery of content
in a style that highlights their
individual areas of strength. For
example, students have
produced newspaper articles,
Presentations, brochures, cause
& effect flow charts, skits, and
even songs and poems to
express their
knowledge.
Due to allowing
choice and access to
technology needed to
produce high quality
products, students
have shown
greater enthusiasm
and ownership of
Mathematics
Hull’s math
department has some
exciting events in the
upcoming months. We will
be kicking off our CST
review with “Math
Madness” on April 15th. This
is an exciting way for
students to review the year
in small group competitions.
Every grade level will be
divided into 8 teams and
compete in a variety of
games ranging from an egg
hunt to basketball in the
gym. All the while, working
as a team to solve some
challenging math problems!
Our math students
will also be driving their own
review by taking short quick
checks each day, that help
them decide which stations
to work on. As they feel they
have mastered a concept
they will then be able to
take a mastery test, which
will earn them stickers on
their mastery chart! It is
exciting for the students to
see the charts progress
throughout the review unit!
After the CST’s are finished,
the students who won the
Math Madness challenges
will be rewarded with a
lunchtime party in the Multi
-purpose room! Students
who try their hardest and
show all work on the test
will also be rewarded by
their Math teacher. Don’t
miss the fun in your math
class in April and May!!
their work. They are proud
of their work and retain
knowledge more effectively.
In the coming weeks we will be
working on the American Civil
War (a.k.a. the War Between the
States) as well as reviewing in
preparation for the CST's in May.
Please check the Hull Website
for information such as project
information and quiz dates. Ask
your child what he or she is
working on and be a part of your
child's education. After all,
parents are the child's first and
last teachers in life and parents'
impact on attitude toward
education can not be over
emphasized.

English / Language Arts
J.H. Hull’s English
department is currently
following the upcoming
Common Core
standards. Our goal is to
provide a comprehensive
education in literacy and
promote critical thinking,
analysis, and intellectual
curiosity through novelbased literature. The English
Common Core standards
are based around three
writing genres: narrative
(story telling),
argumentative, and
expository. Through our
teaching of the novels, we
are working on skills that will
help the students produce
narrative, argumentative,
and expository writing that
reflects higher level thinking
and understanding in order
to foster individual creativity
and develop unique
student-generated opinions
and perspectives. This year,
our goal is to equip students
with valuable thinking skills
and cultivate a challenging
learning environment
suitable for all levels and
backgrounds.
One way the English
department is helping our
students prepare for the
experiences they will have
in class is through our
development of a summer
reading list specific to Hull
that will prepare students for
the reading level and topics
they will encounter next
year. Students will be
required to complete an
assignment during their
English period that will also
determine their abilities in
English in order for the
teachers to better prepare
lessons based on strengths
and weaknesses in each
class.
The reading list is available
on the Hull website and
books are available at the
public libraries as well as
Barnes and Noble.
English Language Development (ELD) classes
Encourages students to improve
their skills in English
Designed to work with English
learners whose skills are low in
English
Focus in reading and writing as
well as listening comprehension
and conversation
Our goal is to help English
learners succeed academically
The teacher keeps close
communication with parents,
teachers, and administrators
Positive reinforcement: students
are recognized for their good
grades, their effort, citizenship,
positive attitude, being
responsible.

Small classes—we offer two
classes: beginning/early
intermediate and intermediate/
early advanced
Students have textbooks and
practice /grammar books as well
as an extensive collection of
guided reading books selected
according to their English
reading level.
Students’ progress are evaluated
every year: students must take
yearly the CELDT ( California
English Language Development
Test) in the summer
Parents are part of the
program—They are invited to
our ELMAC meetings, whose
purpose is to keep parents
informed about the program and
school activities
The teacher assists those parents
whose primary language is
Spanish and are in need of
They have access to computers
for school assignments

Science Happenings at Hull
As we wind down the 3rd
quarter, some very neat
things are occurring in the
science department at Hull
Middle School. In the eighth
grade, Science Survivor is up
and running and the kids are
having a blast. Science
Survivor was developed 6
years ago and is a way to
have the kids review concepts
for the whole year in an
engaging and competitive
activity. Based off of the show
“Survivor”, students are put
through physical and
curriculum challenges to try
and win a year end party.
Also in the eighth grade, the
yearly “Rocket Shot” is
occurring during the first week
in April. The students design
and build a water powered
rocket that is to hold an egg.
The egg must survive the
launch and landing. When we
come back from spring break,
the eighth grade will be
starting physics. The students
will be learning about
“Newtonian Motion”. With that
comes the infamous “Egg
Drop” project. This is a project
where the students design a
package to hold and
protect an egg from a drop
from the top of a cherry
picker.
In the seventh grade, life
science is the buzz. They
have been learning about
genetics and heredity,
through projects that
include creating a family
through genotypes and
then showing the resulting
phenotypes. Dissections
are in the future, with pig
hearts being delivered just
last week. One of the seventh
grade classes did an
archaeological dig in the sand
volleyball court. This showed
the geologic time scale and
how fossils are orientated.
Additionally they have been
working on geologic time lines
and how to interpret events in
the past from the evidence left
in rocks.
In the sixth grade, they have
been working hard on
topology. In sixth grade Earth
Science we have been
studying how the Earth was
made and the forces that are
constantly changing it. These
forces change the topography
of the landscape in many
dramatic ways and to illustrate
what these changes look like,
the students are utilizing 2dimensional topographical
maps to construct 3
dimensional models of some
of the more unique
geographical features of the
Earth. The students
reproduce several enlarged
copies of the map of a chosen
feature then use those copies
to cut out Styrofoam shapes
along the contour lines of the
map to build up their 3D
models. They use a hot wire
cutter which cuts through the
foam but not the paper, which
acts as a template for the
shape. The students then
assemble the various layers
of the model to form the 3D
model. They have also been
working on convection and
density via several labs.

Cardio Runs and Lunges and Bear Crawls… Oh my!
As we look toward our
summer vacation, Mr. Nash
will be spending the final
weeks of the school year
focusing on increasing our
fitness levels. While most
students are able to run our
20-minute cardio run
without walking, others are
still working toward
reaching this goal and
earning a bonus freeplay.
So get your PE shoes on and
get ready to sweat through
the 4th quarter. For the
those students who want to
take their fitness to the next
level, Mr. Nash will be
restarting his afterschool
fitness club beginning
Monday May 6th and
running it every Monday
and Thursday, until the end
of the school year.
or throwing an 8lb shot put
or showing your jumping
abilities in the high jump?
Then mark your calendars
for Saturday May 4th. The
Torrance High School track
team will be hosting a track
and field event all day at
Zamporini Field. In
preparation for this event,
Mr. Nash will be leading a
practice or two the week
prior to the event.
Main Gym beginning at
5:30pm. On tap for the
event will be two girl’s
matches and one boy’s
match. Show your school
spirit and support your
fellow Hull Hawks by
attending the event. Tickets
go on sale soon.
After several unsuccessful
attempts, it seems like our
volleyball event against
Madrona has finally arrived.
The date is set for
Wednesday May 1st at
Torrance High School ‘s
On our non-fitness days, 7th
and 8th graders will be
learning lacrosse and
hockey, while our 6th graders
will be focusing on track and
field and hockey. On that
note, are you interested in
running the 100 meter dash
or the 4 x 100 meter relays
What’s Going on in Acre’s PE
As we are entering the 4th
quarter of our school year,
many good things have been
going on in PE. Our 7th
graders have just completed
their state mandated
physical fitness testing, and
did well. We have just
finished a three week soccer
unit that came to a
competitive finish as the top
2 teams of each class battled
for class bragging rights.
Tuesdays and Thursdays
respectively have been
reserved for fitness days
consisting of cardio runs,
circuit training in they gym,
and medicine ball work-outs.
Going forward we will be
starting a volleyball unit for
7th and 8th graders followed
by a softball unit. As we
wind down the year and will
be losing some days for 8th
graders as they have
exciting scheduled days for
field trips, field day, picnics,
and much more.

Volunteer Guidelines and Procedures
Would you like to volunteer in the classroom or at a school event; or
chaperone a field trip?
First, you will need to complete a Volunteer Application/Agreement form,
which are available in the office. Once completed, volunteer names are
forwarded to the district office for Megan’s Law background check.
Second, you will need to provide documentation of a current tuberculosis
(TB) test.
Please plan to complete all necessary forms as soon as possible, as
these steps can take some time.
THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS! Seeing parents volunteer at school
helps children realize that there is a bond between home, school and
community.
