Smorstad's Scoop- February 4th

**WEEKLY SCOOP!**

WOW~ a 5 day week!!! It is hard to believe we have finally completed a full week. We are all exhausted but thankful to have had some better weather. We were able to wrap up our economics unit. They have learned a lot about how we as consumers take part in our economy.

Please be sure to read the Valentine’s letter to be in the know about our celebration!

...Classroom News for You...

Palmer has been a great star student this week!

* Have your child practice counting coins at home. We are especially working on showing two ways to make specific amounts of mixed coins.

* We will be having a Valentine’s Party on February 14th. Each student needs to bring in their own decorated container to collect Valentine’s from their friends. Allow them to decorate any type of box or bag! There will be a winner for the most creative Valentine’s box/bag!
