Do you know about 3rd

grade math? Sarah R., Jeahee, and

Ashlyn interviewed Mrs.

Johnson to find out. In the

third grade you receive

math books but you cannot

write in them. The students

have to take their math

books home and Mrs.

Johnson sometimes gives

them worksheets. Also they

review doubles plus one and

they use word problems all

year long for math . Third

graders have The Math Hall

of Fame. You have to learn

your multiplication facts

from 0-12. They add and

subtract two, three, and four

digit numbers. Third grade

math sounds awesome!

Have you met the

best cook at Clover

Hill Elementary? Mrs. Dolan is a great

cook. She cooks for over

four-hundred to six-hundred

students in one day. She

gets a lot of help from the

other cooks. Ms. Wanda

cooks, Rebecca serves the

food, Ms. Elssy prepares the

salad, Ms.Donna collects the

money and Ms. Monica comes

two days a week to help them

cook. Before she was a great

cook she was a stay at home

mom and a secretary. She has

three kids: a 23 year old,

27 year old and a 10 year

old. She also has a Saint

Bernard named Gracie. Mrs.

Dolan cooks for a lot of

people and she enjoys her

job. Mrs. Dolan is like the

principal of the kitchen,

because she is the manager

of the kitchen- the one in

charge. Mrs. Dolan makes

sure the food we eat is

healthy for us and that is

why she is an amazing cook

and person.

Halloween Party!

On October 31st we had a

surprise Halloween party. At our

party we had lots of tasty treats

like cookies with sprinkles, candy

corn, tootsie rolls and lollipops.

We also did some math at the

party. We had to guess how

much candy was in a bag without

opening it. We discovered that

there were 20 pieces of candy in

the bag. Also, we made a candy

graph. Our Halloween party was

awesome because we had a

GREAT TIME!

Do you know what it’s like to be a Principal?

Mrs. Hines has been a principal at Clover Hill Elementary for three years. She served as an assistant principal for seven years. Mrs. Hines is a mother of three children along with her wonderful students at Clover Hill Elem.☺ She has many years of schooling at Cali State, Whittier College and VCU! The things she loves about being a principal are working with students, teachers and parents. The hardest thing about her job is working on the weekend and all the hard work that’s brought to her. But she loves her job so it’s worth it! By: Will, Dylan and Antonio

The CourtyardThe CourtyardThe CourtyardThe Courtyard Have you seen our

courtyard? There are 3

goldfish in the pond. One of

the goldfish has a white

face, an orange body, and

black spots on its back. The

other 2 are just gold. Also,

the goldfish get fed in the

spring, summer, and fall

and they eat nothing during

the winter. The goldfish

stay by the waterfall which

is located in the back of the

pond. There is also an

algae eater that is white

with brown spots. He is the

size of a rock and very hard

to see. All of the goldfish

are 6 years old and the

algae eater is 7 years old.

There are different types of

plants like a butterfly bush,

silver mounds, and water

lilies and so many more.

We would really like to

thank Mrs. Dunn for

showing around us the

courtyard!
