Dear Marquis' parents,

It was so nice to see Marquis again. He is enjoying his Mid-Autumn Lunar Festival holiday very much, especially the mooncakes, lol! Marquis is such a kind and thoughtful boy to teach and he works so hard during our lessons. Wonderful!

For today's lesson, we reviewed Marquis' homework plus covered Lesson 7 - Task 1 - U1L5 - 'The Room to Grow'.  

We covered the following literacy concepts:

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

2) Key vocabulary

3) Reading strategies: Articulation & Enunciation

4) New vocabulary

5) Summarize: Sequencing (first, next, then, finally)

6) Ask & Answer strategies (text evidence)

7) Genre: Narrative Nonfiction

8) Compound Words

Have a wonderful Mid-Autumn Lunar Festival to you all and I look forward to seeing Marquis next Monday. 

My very best regards are with the entire family, as always.

Mr. Grande.

p.s.: during today's lesson, Marquis had difficulty remembering some of the months of the year so I've attached Anchor Charts for:

1) Months of the Year - Abbreviations

2) Days of the Week - Abbreviations

Can these please be placed into his Anchor Chart binder? Thank you.
