Dear Serena's parents,

For your information, Serena asked if she was ready for G5 Level so we went to the G5 Wonders curriculum and it was somewhat challenging especially since I would be teaching her and evaluating her, at the G5 Level, NOT the G4 Level.

Since she is doing so well at G4 Level - Unit 2, and G5 Level might be too challenging for now, she asked if she would be able to move up units to maybe G4 Level - Unit 4 or higher. I believe that would be a good idea for her, she's ready (especially since she is asking for a more challenging curriculum, which is an excellent sign that she is ready). However, I told her to speak with her parents and if they agree, just to let me know. It was up to her parents. Thank you. 

For today's lesson, we covered the following activities and concepts:

1) Homework Review

- Proofreading

2) Lesson 12, Task 2 - Literature book

- Genre: Folktale
