Hello Hoover Rockets,

Climate Character Trait for January is Mindfulness.

Mindfulness is learning how to pay attention. Mindfulness helps us calm down. Mindfulness strategies can calm your inner spirit. Kids have said it helps them to be a better person. Mindfulness is thinking about what you are doing right now. Not thinking about the future or the past only the present.

3rd Grade STEM Project

Ms. Fortier and Mrs. Cowher's class built snow catapults out of a variety of items and launched the puff ball snow balls.  

4th Grade Music Concert

Our 4th Grade Hoover Rockets will be singing with the Stevenson Choir on Wednesday, January 16th at the Stevenson Performing Arts Center at 7:00 p.m.  Mr. Turner would like all the fourth graders to meet in the auditorium of Stevenson High School at 6:15 for a brief warm up and rehearsal.  We respectfully ask the parent to wait in the lobby, so the students’ full attention will be on directions and warming up.  The auditorium doors will officially open for guests at 6:45. 

Please have your child dress up for the performance.  The concert will begin at 7:00 and should last approximately 45 minutes. We are really looking forward to this special concert featuring our Hoover Fourth Graders, as well as the older students.  

Cyber Safety Initiative Assemblies

The Michigan Attorney General’s office will be conducting presentations on student safety featuring the Michigan Cyber Safety Initiative (CSI) and the student safety hotline, OK2SAY.  The presentation will be given to our students on January 18, 2019.

The primary theme of the K – 1st grade presentation is the “3 Keeps.”  Students are instructed to (1) Keep Safe by carefully guarding their personal information online; (2) Keep Away from Internet strangers; and (3) Keep Telling parents or a trusted adult about anything that makes them uncomfortable.  This presentation features videos from Common Sense Media that discuss important rules for being safe online and encourage children to seek the help of an adult they trust when faced with challenging situations like bullying.

The 2^nd-4^th grade presentation discusses important rules for being safe online and encourages students to seek the help of a trusted adult when faced with challenging situations. The presentation discusses the need to have permission to go online and to visit only sites where permission has been granted from a teacher or trusted adult. 

Birthday Celebrations
Just a reminder that Hoover is a Healthy School.  Birthday treats are not permitted.  Please do not send in cupcakes, candy, treat bags etc.  If you would like your child's class to celebrate a birthday perhaps your child could donate an indoor recess game or you could send in a pencil for each student in the class.  Thank you for supporting our efforts to be a Healthy School!

Hello Hoover Rockets,

Reading with your child is a proven way to promote early literacy.  One of the most important things you can do to prepare your child for his/her future is helping to make sure that your child is reading at grade level by third grade.  You can influence your child's success in school by making reading a daily routine in your home.  Research shows that students who read at least 20 minutes per day score in the 90th percentile on standardized tests.  Do you want to help your child to be successful in school?   They simply need to read.  Keep reading over Winter Break!

Thank You for the Sweet Treats! 

Thank you for all the amazing sweet treats for the staff!  It is so nice  to be able to enjoy some home made baked goods over the holidays.  Thank you from our family to yours!

Eco-Action Award at the City Council Meeting

Monday night the Hoover Eco-Action Team got an award from the Livonia City Council and Mayor for helping students, teachers and the community work towards environmental understanding and appreciation.  

 Last week, our Eco-Action Leaders counted over 900 glue sticks that we are recycling at Hoover.

Hoover Salad Bar

Our Salad Bar has been looking amazing lately.  Thank you to Ms. Wilcox and Ms. Blair for all your hard work to make our healthy food look so appetizing.


CANDY CANE SALE

SAVE THE DATE 4th Grade Music Concert 

Our 4th Grade Hoover Rockets will be singing with the Stevenson Choir on Wednesday, January 16th at the Stevenson Performing Arts Center at 7:00 p.m.

Did you know that our 4th grade students had an Owl Pellet Presentation last week? The students were informed about the many physical characteristics of owls that help them survive, about which owls are found in Michigan, and heard the recorded calls of many owls. They played a couple owl related games (This is a competitive class!) and then dissected their owl pellets. The students were surprised at the number of bones they found and were challenged to identify the bones and which animal they came from. It was a great morning of learning!

Winter Blast

Hoover’s Winter Blast will quickly be approaching after the holiday break. Friday, February 1st from 6 pm-8:30 pm, come and have some indoor fun with your Hoover family at our Winter Blast.

Last year full size basketballs were a huge hit from the prize room.

This FUN event will not be able to happen and run efficiently without our AMAZING Hoover community coming together to make this night a success for our Rockets. There will be many opportunities to help from donations, set-up, helping throughout the event, to clean-up. If you have children in 7^th grade or higher who need service hours or just want to make a difference in their community, we would love to have them help with running the games. Also volunteers must be 18 or older to work in the kitchen. Please stay tuned for more information as well as a signup genius to come out for volunteers and donations.  

Thank you so much to our AMAZING HOOVER COMMUNITY for making the first half of our school year such a success. We are truly grateful and appreciate your continued support. From donating items to our PTA events, volunteering your time during Hoot-n-Howl and Holiday Shop, generously giving money to the Hoover Helping Hearts Fund, signing your students up for Nuts About Science, and being a parent helper in the science class, volunteering at our Welcome Table and in the lunchroom as a PAL, supporting Kids Night Out, the Dearborn Brand Meats fundraiser. These are just a few of the many things YOU do as a community to help make Hoover such a fantastic school for our ROCKETS. We want these precious years at Hoover to be a memorable experience for all. We hope you all have a wonderful and RELAXING holiday break with family and friends. We will see you all in 2019.

Happy Holidays from your Hoover PTA!

iReady Diagnostic Testing

This week is the opening of the second iReady Diagnostic testing window.

All Hoover students grade Kindergarten through fourth grade

will be taking both a reading and math assessment.

These assessments are computer-based, and are adaptive, which

means the complexity of the question depends on how your child

has answered the question before.

For example, if your child answers a problem correctly, the test will adjust the

next question to that level. If your child misses a problem, the

test will adjust to a more appropriate level for your child, and so on.

The iReady Diagnostic is given three times a year for our

first-fourth grade students, and twice a year to our kindergartners.

Our staff uses the results of these assessments to plan for instruction,

making sure each child is getting what they need academically.

Testing sessions are available to our classes both this week and next.

Please make sure your child gets rest and is motivated to their bes
