**WEEKLY SCOOP!**

Our class has been so excited about the field trip all week and it was a success! Thank you for sending your child prepared for the trip and for those of you that helped to chaperone. The students enjoyed it all! I am glad that we can continue to make these class memories together. They are a great group and it will be hard to let them go! It is hard to believe that the end of the year is so close. Please make note of the end of the year events!

Smorstad's Scoop- May 6th

**WEEKLY SCOOP!**

We have had quite a week! It has flown by with specials first thing in the morning and completing plant reports, Derby activities, and our math unit on 3 digit addition and subtraction. We also had a- “You can do it!” chat! We set goals for ourselves to stick to for the last month of school. We are holding one another accountable and encouraging each other to do our best. I love your kiddos- they are so special to me! J
