Smorstad's Scoop- December 4th

**WEEKLY SCOOP!**

Well, this week has come and gone and I have barely step foot in my classroom. While I have been at home nursing my daughter back to good health, your children have been at school working hard! This week we started to get into the holiday spirit, by making a countdown to Christmas and writing letters to Santa. We also wrapped up our addition unit in math. Keep practicing simple math facts at home. Flashcards would be a great stocking stuffer (hint, hint… Santa!). I hope that next week we enjoy learning about holidays around the world!
