3.8.19

Hello Hoover Rockets,

Shared Cart

Starting March 1st we have had a shared cart in the lunch room.  Students who buy lunch and don’t eat the packaged fruit or vegetables can place them on the shared cart.  Any student can select an item from the shared cart to eat.  We are trying to reduce the amount of food that is thrown away in the lunchroom every day.  If you child brings a lunch from home, please encourage them to eat their whole lunch or to bring home anything that they don’t eat.  That way parents will see what students like to eat, and how much does not get eaten.  We will remind them to send home food that is not eaten and NOT to throw it away.  

Lisa Wheeler

Mrs. Wheelr taught the students about research that she did before she wrote her books about Mammoths. Ask you Hoover Rocket some questions:
Why Mammoths don't have big ears like an elephant?   The skin is so thin that if they had big ears they would freeze.  
Are they extinct?  YES 
How many teeth do they have in their mouth?  FOUR


Report Cards Coming Home New Date 3/22/19

Due to the numerous inclement weather days, the 2nd trimester has been extended one week.  Report cards will now be coming home on March 22nd.

Did you know that students who have parents involved in school are more likely to succeed academically?  You can get involved by checking your Hoover Rockets backpack, reading their planner, asking them about their day.  Ask you child what did they learning in math?  What did they make in art?  What book are they reading?  Did they bring home a book that they could read to you?  Stay positive!  Make it fun!  Celebrate the new learning together!
