4th Grade Lansing Field Trip

This week Mrs. Lipinski and Ms. Skibinski's classes went to Lansing.  They had a great time exploring the capital, the Michigan Museum and the Hands On Museum.  Thank you PTA for helping to support this memorable trip.

Did you know that each week Mrs. Linn goes in 3-4 classrooms and observes?  She sits in a seat right with the students and experiences some of the learning that goes on at Hoover every day in our classrooms.  Look for a short paragraph in the upcoming HooverProud Blog where she will share some of the exciting activities.
