Dear Brian's parents,

Brian worked very hard today and he did very well. We covered many literacy concepts during his homework review and this lesson curriculum learning class (Lesson 6, Task 1 - U2L6 - Apr 15 - Meerkat Family).

We covered the following language concepts:

1) Printing uniform letter structures

2) English to Chinese translation of new vocabulary (notebook)

3) Pre-reading strategies

4) Reading strategies

5) Reading Fluency and Comprehension

For HOMEWORK, can Brian please complete and submit the following lesson:

1) Lesson 6, Task 2: U2L6 - Apr 15 -Homework

Thank you.

Brian's parents: to help Brian develop the independence and proactive skills to translate new words on his own, can he be provided with a translation device and/or a translation website please; which he can use at home (for his homework) and for in-class activities. Thank you so very much!

p.s.: he can write his new words, with the Chinese translations, into his notebook or right into his Wonders books. 

p.s.s.: multiple-meaning words (homonyms) such as 'bat-bat' can be tricky at this stage of Brian's language learning process. I will be teaching him about homonyms in class, however I also would like to ask for your support in helping him choose the correct meaning of any homonyms he is translating, as per the context of the text he is working on.

Thank you so much for your support.
