Dear Siyuan's parents,

Siyuan had an excellent English language lesson today! He worked very hard. He was fully engaged and active throughout the lesson. He followed my instructions very well and he was very polite and respectful. Siyuan is a joy for me to teach. Really well done today, Siyuan!

For today's lesson, we reviewed Siyuan's Printing homework and we worked on organizing his Homework binder and his Anchor Chart binder. We also covered Lesson 19 - Task 1 - U2L3 - In Class - Search High and Low.  

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: context clues, text features, and comprehension

4) Genre: Fairy Tales (Folktales)

5) Compare and Contrast (Venn Diagrams: 2-Circle and 3-Circle)

6) Cause and Effect: make predictions

7) Figurative Language

8) Context Clues
