Smorstad's Scoop- January 11th

Sorry that this was not updated this weekend. My newsletter was saved at school!! When we have snow days (in the future.... hopefully!!) please check our classroom blog for schedule or homework changes!

**WEEKLY SCOOP!**

We had a great week back to school! Once we all “woke up” we were ready to learn and get back into a routine. This week we talked about new years resolutions and what small changes we can make to become better students, children to our parents, or friends to our classmates. They all came up with a resolution and they are displayed in the hallway! It was also exciting to write many letters this week. They enjoyed getting a secret letter from a classmate and getting to mail letters to friends and family! Thanks for making this possible.

** What’s new for you? **

· You will receive TPRO test information (taken in October) in your child’s progress report.

· We will be starting a science unit on states of matter next week. It is a good time to expose your child to solids, liquids, and gas to give them a knowledge bank as we start this new material.

· Next time we have snow days, please refer to our classroom blog to get scheduling information.
