Story chart over all of the last theme
Study all of your vocabulary words up to this point.  There will be a review quiz on Friday over all of them!

Verb test results: Our verb tests will be coming home tomorrow.  I was very impressed with our overall scores.  Keep up the good work.

Spelling: This week will be a continuation of last week's homophones, homographs, and homonyms.  Our test will be on Friday...keep working on the two, too, to and the there's...etc...

This week will be the end of the 2nd theme.  Our end of the theme test is nothing the kids can study for, it's just a check to see if they maintained the knowledge we've gained during the latest theme.
