Dear James' parents,

It was so very nice to see James once again. He was so excited to tell me all about his trip to New Zealand! He was so happy, my goodness. It was so wonderful to see.

For today's lesson, James was very engaged, excited, and active throughout the lesson. He seems to be in much better spirits which is so great!

For today's lesson, we covered the following:

Lesson 9:

Task 1 - Diary - 'Snowboarding in New Zealand'

Task 3 - Book Report: 'Dog Man - Twenty Thousand Fleas Under the Sea' - Sequence (beginning, middle, end) - 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 next Wednesday. 

My very best regards are with the whole family.

Mr. Grande
