Dear Phoeby's parents,

Phoeby did really well in class. We worked on her vocabulary and pronunciation and also some common colloquial collocations. Great job!

WHAT WE COVERED IN TODAY'S CLASS

In today's lesson, we covered the following literacy concepts and strategies from the ELSCO course lesson entitled Dog Man, Second Novel, Chapter Two: Penelope's Pets":

1. Key conceptual foundation themes: identification, clues pre-reading and post-reading
2. Key / New vocabulary, collocations and idioms
3. Exploring the ideas around distractions
4. Cohesive devices: connection with the previous chapter on the Secret Meeting
5. Connections and comparisons: Text-to-self, Text-to-world
6. Predictions

HOMEWORK

For homework, if Phoeby has time please complete homework in Lesson 06 - Book Report.

Have a wonderful week ahead and I look forward to seeing Phoeby again.

Warm wishes, and all the best for the entire family.

Kind regards,

Teacher Philip
