Dear James' parents,

James was a little tired today and his energy was low but he still tried his best throughout the lesson and did a great job! I hope James has a wonderful sleep tonight. Thank you.

For today's lesson, we covered the following:

Lesson 18:

Task 1 - Diary - 'My Big House'

Task 2 - Dog Man 3-3 - 'The Six Thousand Dollar Fish'

Task 3 - Book Report: 'Plants vs. Zombies

(About plants that save people from a Zombie virus!)

[Sequence Summary - Characters, Settings, Beginning, Middle, and End]

We focused on the following literacy concepts and strategies:

1) Summarizing Key Details from a Text/Personal Experience

2) Literary Elements: Plot (Beginning, Middle, End)

3) Descriptive Word Choices and Key Details

4) Sentence Structure: Simple to Complex

5) Reading: Punctuation Intonation (exclamation and question marks)

My very best regards are with the whole family, as always.
