Whirlwind/Homework

Things have been moving pretty quickly in class the past two days:
We began the Gates-MacGinity assessment, we've been continuing our work on vocabulary, we began Uninterrupted Silent Sustained Reading (USSR), we are trying to finish reading "Lather and Nothing Else", and many of you have turned in your first letter or email to me for the independent reading project (see blog post on September 3).

Homework due 9/12 (this Friday): turn in first letter or email if you have not already done so. This will count towards progress reports.
