Smorstad's Scoop- March 4th

**SPRING FLING**

* We are in NEED of donations for Easter themed Spring Fling basket! Suggested items for the basket include candy, stickers, books, and décor!

* We are also in NEED of volunteers to work our 2nd grade booths. Please fill out the form to request a time and turn that in as soon as possible.

* If you PRE-ORDER tickets they will be sent home Wed, Thurs, or Fri before the main event!

Changes…Changes…

You may hear about some classroom changes as we get closer to the end of the school year. Coming first… we will begin taking on the cursive writing adventure next week. Please read the information packet and support your child as they learn a new skill! Up next… we will be moving to 2 warning clips, then to 1, and after Spring break they will only be given verbal warnings before they are asked to refocus. At this point in the year I feel they are ready to loose the constant “reminder” of their clips and take more responsibility of their behavior! Thanks for support!
