Mommy Duties Called

I apologize for not having your traditional Smorstad's Scoop newsletter available via the blog. This afternoon as I had the document open and read to feed to blogger I received a phone call from my daughter's babysitter to inform me of her 102 degree fever. I quickly left my students with Mrs. Floyd, our assistant principal, and left to take Ivy to the doctor. She has her third ear infection in 6 weeks.... AHHH!! But we are thankful that it isn't the flu! So I will give you the small version of Smorstad's Scoop for the weekend and I will update with the newsletter on Monday!

We learned all about the pilgrims this week! They learned about how the pilgrims arrived in America, the type of houses they lived in, the chores they did at home, the horn books used in school, and the way they made butter because a Walmart or Kroger wasn't available down the street. They finished up this unit with an open response on why they would or would not like to be a pilgrim!
****
We will have no homework or reading log next week!! We will spend Monday having a first grade craft rotation and Tuesday catching up on last minute holiday fun. It is hard to believe that Turkey day is almost here!
****
This is my best guess (I hope I am right!!!) for our specials schedule for our 2 day week:
Monday- Computer
Tuesday- Spanish

Sorry again about the delay!!! We all know how it is when our mommy duties call :) This afternoon I had to quickly adjust from teacher to mommy, leaving a few things undone. Have a great weekend!!
