Dear James' parents,

James came to class in positive spirits and motivated to successfully complete his lesson exercises, which he did. Your trip to New Zealand has most certainly improved his engagement and eagerness to learn! Wonderful!

For today's lesson, James was once again engaged, excited, and active throughout the lesson. 

For today's lesson, we covered the following:

Lesson 10:

Task 1 - Diary - 'My Favorite Transformer: Optimus Prime'

Task 2: Dog Man 2-5 - Petey's Big Escape (Lesson 9)

Task 2: Dog Man 2-6 - A Buncha Stuff That Happened Next

Task 3 - Book Report: 'Dog Man 2-5 - Petey's Big Escape - Sequence [character(s), setting(s), beginning, middle, end] - Chart

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 your whole family, as always.

Mr. Grande
