Dear Ryan's parents,

It was so nice to see Ryan today. He is such a wonderful student and he tries very hard to learn the English language curriculum and the many strategies for learning success. Keep up the hard work, Ryan!

For today's lesson, we reviewed Ryan's weekly test homework as well as his anchor charts. We also covered Lesson 4 - Task 2 - In Class - Grammar.  

We covered the following literacy concepts and strategies:

1) Key / New vocabulary: translations, definitions, and synonyms

2) Reading strategies: pace, fluency, vocabulary decoding, context clues, text features, and comprehension

3) Linking Verbs

4) Capitalization of Proper Nouns

5) Common Nouns vs. Proper Nouns

6) Test-taking strategies (Multiple-choice questions)
