Dear Michael's parents,

Today's lesson was a lesson that I missed teaching Michael (Lesson 10). I wrote the wrong dates by mistake. Therefore, we had to go back to Lesson 10 today to complete it. My apologies. It will not affect Michael's English language learning progress and we will be back on track with our lessons starting next Tuesday.

Michael had another excellent English language lesson today. He is so smart and he has exceptional strategies to find answers for himself. Michael is a wonderful student to teach!

For today's lesson, we reviewed Michael's excellent homework submission as well as his Anchor Chart binder. Plus we covered Lesson 10 - Task 1 - U3L7 - Weather Affects Us.  

We focused on the following literacy concepts:

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

2) Key/New vocabulary

3) Reading strategies: articulation & enunciation, fluency, decoding, and comprehension

4) Genre: Expository/Informational Text

5) Text Features: Sidebar and Subheads/Subtitles (also known as Subheadings)

6) Ask and Answer Questions (Comprehension/Understanding): text evidence, text features, research, and dictionary/translator

7) Main Idea/Key Details

8) Antonyms

Mr. Grande.
