Dear Michael's parents,

It was fun working with Michael today. He was very engaged and actively participating, with a smile on his face, throughout the lesson. Wonderful!

For today's lesson, we reviewed Michael's excellent homework submission as well as his Anchor Chart binder. Plus we covered Lesson 13 - Task 1 - U3L9 - Let's Communicate

2) Key/New vocabulary - definitions (independent Chinese translations)

3) Reading strategies: Articulation & Enunciation, Fluency, Decoding, and Comprehension

4) Genre: Informational / Expository Text (Nonfiction)

5) Text Features: Graphs, Captions, and Photographs (Pictures)

6) Main Idea Chart - Key Details
