Dear Siyuan's parents,

Once again, Siyuan worked hard throughout today's lesson. He was engaged and motivated to understand all of  the literacy knowledge I taught today and he did very well. Really great job today, Siyuan!

For today's lesson, we reviewed Siyuan's anchor chart binder and his homework, in great detail. We also covered some of Lesson 23 - Task 1 - U2L6 - In Class - Norman Borlaug and the Green Revolution.  

We covered the following literacy concepts and strategies:

1) Context Clues

2) Key / New vocabulary: definitions and synonyms

3) Reading strategies: context clues and comprehension

4) Text Evidence Citations

5) Hamburger Paragraph strategy

6) Printing: letter structure improvement strategies

7) Greek and Latin Roots
