Smorstad's Scoop- April 29

**WEEKLY SCOOP!**

We had a great week! We have learned all about plants this week. Each student selected 2 plants they would like to research and then they were put into pairs based on their interests. They read informational text on their plant and took notes. Next week we will turn our notes into a research paper. I have been so proud at how nice of a job they did on these! It seems so grown up for my students to read and research a topic!
