Smorstad's Scoop- December 10th

**WEEKLY SCOOP!**

It was another great week with the Smarties! We completed our Native American unit. You would be impressed at all the information they learned and know about the four tribes that we studied. We also wrapped up two digit addition. We will continue to practice this skill throughout 2nd grade. Next week we will spend time getting in the holiday spirit with crafts, parties, and some of my favorite read alouds!

...Classroom News for You...

* I have completed reading assessments with our class and WOW- they are doing wonderful! I was impressed with their growth over the last few months.

* If you volunteered to send an item for our Gingerbread party please send it in on Thursday morning. If you would like to partake in our celebration we would love to have you!

* We are still in need of candy and gum donations for our Bonus Buck prizes! Thank you for helping to make our reward system a success! J


-- Homework Preview ---

The homework packet will only include a reading log and a math practice page. We will not have spelling list and will not be doing a reading story. We will spend the week doing Christmas activities!

Please take time to work with your child to practice 2 digit addition with carrying. This is a difficult skill. We will continue to revisit this throughout the year.
