September 26-30

**This is reteach week, so there will be no reading story, spelling words, and vocabulary.

**We will complete daily DOL, and there will be a DOL test on Friday.

**We are still working on Chapter 2 in Social Studies, and are completing daily lessons in class.  We will be having a chapter quiz on Wednesday when the students will work in groups to complete the test.  It will be open-book, and they will be able to use notes from daily lessons.
They will also have an opportunity to complete a "small" in-class project for the chapter that will be worth a test grade as well.

**Please have your child read at least 20 minutes each night.  This is wonderful practice for their fluency.
