Students in Mr. Hoggatt’s class may go beyond the classroom walls with their learning.

Mr. Hoggatt believes all people should strive to be lifelong learners and responsible citizens.

This is the place to look if you're looking to put a "feather in your cap".
The Cecil Floyd Math League is a source of pride for our school.  Students attend at least two competitions as a part of their involvement in this exclusive group.  Team members are identified from district testing in the fall and in the previous spring, attend weekly coaching sessions, and compete in a qualifying contest after the New Year.  Find our M4+H LE46UE page for more.
Students who have mastered their multiplication facts from the zeros to the nines will be honored as members of this "club"!  They will prove their ability in this area by scoring 100% on at least three 100-problem timed quizzes.

Splendid Spellers
Around the end of January, students compete in the school spelling bee.  The winner of that bee will be eligible to compete in the regional spelling bee, help at Missouri Southern State University (MSSU), during Spring Break.

If you want to prepare, or help someone else prepare, the words are provided on the Joplin Globe's Newspaper in Education website.  Please note, competitors at the regional level will be responsible for studying all grade level words (plus the lists ofhard, harder, and hardest words).
MICHELLE, a student in my class a few years ago, qualified for and conquered the regional competition at MSSU.  She is still featured in the photograph at the top of the Spelling Bee webpage.  It's interesting to note that more than a couple of Hoggatteers have won the Cecil Floyd contest, beating out all other fourth graders as well as the fifth graders.
