Smorstad's Scoop- January 29th

**WEEKLY SCOOP!**

This week we wrapped up our states of matter unit, and were able to observe what happened when we mixed different kitchen items. I have been impressed at how well they have done with time to the hour and half hour. We will complete this unit and take a test next week. The biggest thing to review with your child is that the minute hand is long and the hour hand is short. Please continue to read at home and return your reading log on Fridays. This time of year is typically where we see the most growth. Have your child tell you about the who, what, where, when, and why of what they are reading!
