About Our School
History
Hollinger Elementary School was built in 1931. Originally, it was called Government Heights. Sometime in the 70's or 80's its name was changed and named in honor of a long time principal Charles S. Hollinger.
Hollinger Elementary is a Dual Language and G.A.T.E. school in the Tucson Unified School District.
Our school is very big and a fun place to learn. We can check out awesome books at the library. Our cafeteria is huge and serves a lot of yummy food. There are many classrooms and everybody has their own materials in their desks. In Mr. Steve's fantastic garden lives Guero in his chicken coop.
At recess time, we have fun playing in the school's playground. We make lots of new friends . We also have a rooster pet; his name is "Guero." We love him as much as a best friend.
At Hollinger, we learn to write, read and speak English and Spanish. We learn to listen to our teachers and the principal. We also read cool books and write reports about them. The students do many interesting things. We win grabbers for being responsible students and having good behavior.
We work really hard to become smarter. The class work is challenging because it helps us to learn more. The students have classrooms jobs like line leaders and paper passer to help the teachers.
At Hollinger, we sing in both languages. We learn folkloric dances such as La Bamba, Los Viejitos. In art class, we color and paint to learn about different artists like Eric Carle and Van Gogh.
Hollinger is a fantastic place to learn both languages and make friends.

Hollinger es una escuela primaria de Lenguaje Dual y de GATE auto-contenido del Distrito Unificado de Tucson.
Nuestra escuela es muy grande y es un lugar divertido para aprender. En la biblioteca podemos sacar libros interesantes. La cafetería es enorme y sirve mucha comida muy rica. Hay muchos salones y todos los niños tienen su escritorio con sus propios materiales. En el jardín fantástico del Sr. Steve vive Guero en un gallinero.
A la hora del recreo, nos divertimos jugando en el patio de la escuela y hacemos amigos nuevos. También tenemos un gallo mascota que se llama "Guero." Lo queremos como a nuestro mejor amigo.
Nosotros aprendemos a escribir, leer y hablar en ingles y en español. Los niños aprenden a escuchar a sus maestros y a la directora. También, leemos libros suaves y escribimos reportes interesantes sobre ellos. Ganamos grabbers por ser estudiantes responsables y que se portan bien. Los estudiantes hacen muchas cosas interesantes.
Nosotros trabajamos mucho para ser más inteligentes. El trabajo de la clase es mejor porque nos ayuda a aprender más. Los niños tienen trabajos como líder de la línea y pasa papeles para ayudarles a sus maestras.
En Hollinger, nos encanta cantar canciones en los dos idiomas. Aprendemos a bailar diferentes bailes folklóricos como La Bamba y los Viejitos. En la clase de arte coloreamos y pintamos para aprender sobre diferentes artistas como Eric Carle y Van Gogh.
