Smorstad's Scoop- December 3rd

WEEKLY SCOOP!**

WOW!! I have returned to the same SMARTIE class that I left in September. We have had an excellent week catching up, giving hugs, and getting back into our routine. I hope the adjustment has been okay for your little ones!

We finished up studying Native Americans with the Navajo and Iroquois tribes. I have learned alongside them and it has been fun! They have made several crafts and taken notes on their reading. This social studies unit has been so fun!

...Classroom News for You...

Drew was a wonderful Star Student this week!

* I am doing lots of assessing over the next 3 weeks and plan to do conferences with each of you after report cards in January. I will send home a sign up sheet after Christmas break. These students have grown so much!

* We will start our time unit next week. Have your child start telling time (not on a digital clock) for extra practice!

* Please return your bookmarks for United to read. They are due Dec. 10th. Please write your titles down if you lost your bookmark.
