Dear Summer's parents,

Summer had a productive and positive English language lesson today. He is such an intelligent and inquisitive boy and he keeps me on my toes, lol! He is a joy to teach.

For today's lesson, we reviewed Summer's homework as well as his Anchor Chart binder. We also covered Lesson 2 - Task 1 - U1L2 - In Class - Jack and the Extreme Stalk.

We focused on 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: context clues, fluency, decoding, text features, and comprehension

4) Genre: Fairy Tale / Folktale

5) Text Feature: illustrations

6) Synonyms

7) Summarization: retell and sequence of events chart

8) Reviewed 'The Real Story of Stone Soup' (Chinese version)
