Dear James' parents,

It was very nice to see James once again. He was very engaged, excited, and active throughout today's lesson. He seems to be in much better spirits which is very nice to see.

One wonderful reason for James being in great spirits might be because he is going to visit New Zealand next week! He was very excited sharing all that he is looking forward to.

For today's lesson, we covered the following:

Lesson 8 - Task 3 - Book Report: 'Dog Man - Book #3' - Summarization - Story Web

We focused on the following literacy concepts and strategies:

1) Summarizing Key Details from a Text

2) Plot: Beginning, Middle, and End

3) Descriptive Word Choices

4) Sentence Structure: Simple to Complex

Have a wonderful weekend and I look forward to seeing James again soon. 

My very best regards are with the whole family.

Mr. Grande
