Dear James' parents,

It is very nice to see the enthusiasm gradually returning to James, during our lessons. He is becoming much more engaged in the lesson activities, and he is reading and speaking with an increasing amount of expression and energy. This is encouraging and very good overall progress. Thank you mom and dad for all your positive support and partnership, in helping James find his way back to joy in his learning, once again. 'Slowly but surely wins the race', as they say.

For today's lesson, we covered the following:

Lesson 6

Task 1 - Diary - 'My Dream Birthday Cake!'

Task 2 - Dog Man 1-5 - 'Penelope's Pets'

Task 3 - Book Report - 'Dog Man 1-5 - Penelope's Pets'

The focus was on:

1) Voice: expression, intonation, punctuation

2) Key / New Vocabulary: translation and synonyms

3) Text Feature: illustrations

4) Read: fluency and comprehension

5) Summarization: key details

6) Descriptive Writing

Have a wonderful weekend to the whole family and I look forward to seeing James, next Friday. 

My very best regards are with you all, always.

Mr. Grande.
