Dear James' parents,

Now that the curriculum has been adjusted to accommodate James' English language level of proficiency, his confidence is returning as well as his effective communication of the knowledge he has and is learning. It's really good to see a smile back on his face as he takes risks with the English language and succeeds! Wonderful!

For today's lesson, we reviewed James' homework as well as his Anchor Chart binder. We also covered Lesson 4 - Task 1 - U3L4 - In Class - A Different Set of Stars.  

We covered the following literacy concepts:

1) Key / New Vocabulary: translations and synonyms

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

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

4) Genre: Fiction

5) Text Features

6) Compound Words
