Dear parents,

Your children were fully engaged and motivated to learn thoughout most of today's lesson. They were somewhat tired (all said they had a lot of work to do for school as well as for other extracurricular subjects) so I left time for them to play a reading game at the end of the class, which they seemed to enjoy. 

For today's lesson, we reviewed your children's Anchor Chart binders and we covered Lesson 11 - Task 1 - U4L1 - In Class - See How.

We focused on the following literacy concepts:

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

2) Key/New vocabulary - definitions and synonyms

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

4) Genre: Narrative Nonfiction

5) Latin Roots
