Cass 2017 Battle of the Books
Hello Hoover Rockets,

We are learning lots at Hoover while we watch it snow.  On Thursday Mrs. Linn and Mrs. Mayne kicked off Battle of the Books.  The students learned all about the Battle and flyers came home today.  The event will take place on March 28th in the morning.  We sent out an eblast with information as well.  We are looking for some parent coaches to help our teams.  The coaches would meet once a week with their team on the day that works best for their schedule, during 2nd recess (2:30-3:00).  Coaches would ask students questions to help them prepare and make sure all of the battle books have been assigned to team mates.  Coaches
will have a meeting to learn what to do.  We are very excited to
bring this Cass event to Hoover.  Thank you to Mrs. King and Mrs.
Mayne for leading Battle of the Books.

Masterworks-Impressionism
Thank you to our wonderful PTA for facilitating  the Masterworks Art Program at Hoover.  The focus this month has been on Impressionism.  Mrs. Cannell's class created their own artwork.
Mrs. Hawker's class also created their own masterpieces.

Did you know that our Kindergarten teachers have over 66 years of teaching experience combined?  Some have even taught preschool as well as first, second and third grade.  They know what our students need to be successful in elementary school.  We are so lucky to have an amazing team in Kindergarten.  They provide a nurturing, caring, engaging, structured environment for our Hoover Rockets.
