Dear Summer's parents,

It was so nice to see Summer today; especially after my lengthy time away on holiday and his week away on a cruise. It was wonderful to hear all the stories he had from his awesome cruise experience! He is certainly enjoying his Summer vacation and I look forward to hearing more of the fun activities he is taking part in.

For today's lesson, we reviewed Summer's Anchor Chart binder and we covered Lesson 20 - Task 1 - U2L4 - In Class - The Prince Who Could Fly.  

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 (dictionary.com)

3) Reading strategies: pace, fluency, decoding, in-character voice, and comprehension

4) Genre: Drama (Play) and Mystery

5) Stage Directions

6) Theme

7) Synonyms and Antonyms
