Dear Siyuan's parents,

It was very nice to see Siyuan again. He worked very hard throughout today's lesson. He was engaged and motivated to succeed in the literacy knowledge exercises I administered and he succeeded! Really great job today, Siyuan.

For today's lesson, we reviewed lesson expectations and we also covered Lesson 16 - Task 1 - U2L1 - In Class - A Stitch in Time.  

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 (online dictionary usage)

3) Reading strategies: context clues, fluency, and comprehension

4) Capital Letters for Titles

5) Mind Map / Idea Web: Problem Solving

6) Graphic Organizer: usage

7) Lesson Focus: classwork and homework - neatness and detail
