Smorstad's Scoop- March 26

**WEEKLY SCOOP!**

It is hard to believe that we have made it to spring break! I hope you each are able to enjoy friend’s and family. When we come back to school it will fly by… it always does! It makes me sad considering I love your kiddos, but I know we will all be ready for summer. J This week we were so excited get set up for the fairy tale ball. I hope your children had a great time. They also did an excellent job completing the TPRO test. They had a lot more confidence taking it the second time around. It was exciting to see how much they have learned this school year!

...Classroom News for You...

* One parent recommended a fun website to practice spelling words at home. I checked it out and hope to use it in my classroom as well. See what you think at www.spellingcity.com

* Remember that homework is not an option. Its purpose is to practice skills and to teach responsibility.
