Dear Chloe and Chloe's parents,

Chloe and I had a very productive discussion about my homework expectations for her. We reviewed her two homework assignments that were completed this past week.

Chloe now understands that she needs to focus first on doing her weekly test to the very best of her ability and then, if she has time (with her parents' approval and encouragement) complete any extra homework assignments available for her to complete.

Thank you very much to Chloe's parents for helping support Chloe's focus on her learning needs first. Your support is very much appreciated.

* Genre: Expository Text

Dear Chloe and Chloe's parents,

For today's lesson (G4 Wonders - Lesson 1 - Task 1 - U5L1 - In Class - Figure It Out), I diagnostically administered the lesson at the grade level expectations for Gr.7 achievement. 

I am able to provide the following assessment results:

Speaking: Very good (B+/3+)

Listening: Good (B/3)

Vocabulary: Satisfactory (C/2)

Reading: Satisfactory (C/2)

Writing/Grammar: Satisfactory (C/2)

Chloe can effectively express herself in curriculum discussions (speaking and listening).

She is currently below Grade 7 standard in her reading fluency and vocabulary knowledge, which affects her overall comprehension of text. 

In determining her writing/grammar levels, I administered an exercise on complex sentence structures and she had some difficulties in constructing these sentences successfully.

I would recommend remaining at this Gr4 Wonders Unit 5 Lesson 1 level and my focus would be on strengthening the language components which are in need of attention for improvement.

Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you require any further explanations and details.

With my very best wishes for the entire family.

Mr. Grande
