Smorstad's Scoop- January 22nd

**WEEKLY SCOOP!**

This week we quickly got back into our normal routine. We completed our unit on number patterns and will begin with telling time next week. Please begin pointing out the time to your child if you do not already do so. At this point our focus will be on time to the hour and half hour. We also will be conducting several experiments to show the change in states of matter to wrap up our matter unit. They get so excited to be little scientist. Now that we have learned and practiced our addition facts to 20, we have held several games of around the world. This is a great time to invest in a set of flash cards for your child to practice at home!
