Smorstad's Scoop- April 30th

**WEEKLY SCOOP!**

We survived our first week of the testing schedule! It is a long afternoon for them but they are hanging in there. Please remind your child that there are NO warnings given if you are talking in the hallways or bathroom due to third graders testing on our hallway.

We have really gotten into counting money in math. We use touch money where we count each coin using counting by 5’s (nickel is touched once, dime twice, quarter five times). Please allow your child to show you what they have learned by counting your change at home!
