Smorstad's Scoop- May 14th

**WEEKLY SCOOP!**

**We will be tie-dying our shirts on Monday. If you have not sent a white, pre-washed t-shirt for your child please do so ON Monday.

We had a great week and were very thankful for our normal schedule to return. We completed our money unit and will start a fun graphing unit next week. It will be a nice brain break from counting money! Our farm unit is so much fun. They have now purchased their house, barn, silo, tractor, and goat! I am so excited about the farm coming to us on May 27th.
