Dear Michael's parents,

Michael had another very strong English language lesson today. He worked very hard and was fully engaged throughout the lesson. Wonderful! Michael is such a joy to teach!

For today's lesson, we reviewed Michael's Anchor Chart binder and we also covered Lesson 2 - Task 1 - U5L2 - In Class - The Food Crew.

We focused on the following literacy concepts:

1) Pre-reading strategies: prediction, identification, text-to-self and text-to-world connections

2) Key/New vocabulary - translations and synonyms

3) Reading strategies: context clues, decoding, text features (illustrations), fluency, and comprehension

4) Genre: Realistic Fiction

5) Text Feature: Table of Contents (title, author, subtitles, chapters, pages [illustrator])

6) Suffixes

7) Homonyms (words that have multiple meanings)
