Dear parents,

Your children work very hard during their lessons. They are quite independent now with their computer information search strategies as well as their Anchor Chart binders. I am very proud of them and their progress. 

For today's lesson, we reviewed their Anchor Chart binders. We also covered Lesson 18 - Task 1 - U4L8 - In Class - Your Turn.

We focused on the following literacy concepts and strategies:

1) Key/New vocabulary - definitions and synonyms

2) Complex Sentences

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

4) Genre: Expository Text

5) Text Features: diagram, labels, and special print 

6) Cause and Effect

7) Context Clues

8) Diphthongs: /oi/ and /ou/

9) Digraphs

10) Greek and Latin Roots
