Dear Hoover Rockets,

M-STEP

Our 3rd and 4th grade students will begin taking the M-STEP on Monday!  Please make sure students are at school on time, have had a healthy breakfast and a good night's sleep. 
We will be taking the M-STEP for the next 2 weeks, Monday-Thursday, in the morning.

Art Fair/Science Fair

The building has never looked so nice.  We have amazing artists at Hoover.  The hallways are colorful and vibrant.  The Science Fair projects were so interesting!  We learned a lot about slime, dish soap, braids, food coloring, mold and bacteria. Thank you to Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Testa for a wonderful Science Fair.

Lansing

Mrs. Larabell and Ms. Janis' class had a great time in Lansing this week.

Did you know that our first grade Hoover Rockets are writing opinion letters to adults?  While observing in Mrs. Horgan's classroom I saw students learning about the "greeting", "body" and "closing" to a letter.  In my mailbox I received 5 letters from her class.  Here are some examples:

I have an idea.  I think we should get more games on the computers.  One reason is because some games are boring.  Another reason is because we can learn more.

Mrs. Linn I have an idea!  I think we need a day off every Monday.  One reason is because you can read your guided reading book.  Another reason is because you can tack a nap and refresh your mind.  My third reason is because you can help your mom and dad to clean up.  I think we need a day off every Monday.
