Dear parents,

Once again, your children were engaged, active, and motivated to learn throughout today's English language lesson. They all worked very hard and I am very proud of them all. They are such wonderful children and great students. Thank you to you, their parents, for raising such wonderful children!

For today's lesson, we reviewed their Anchor Chart binders and we also covered Lesson 1 - Task 1 - U5L1 - In Class - Mama, I'll Give You the World.  

We covered the following literacy concepts and strategies:

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

2) Key / New vocabulary: definitions and synonyms

3) Reading strategies: articulation & enunciation, inflection, intonation, pace, fluency, decoding, context clues, text features, and comprehension

4) Genre: Realistic Fiction

5) Figurative Language: Similes and Metaphors (identifying them in the text)
