Dear Summer's parents,

Summer had a very good English language lesson tonight and he tried his very best to succeed in his learning. He had a very good long weekend and he was very happy about that (Happy Birthday to Summer's grandmother!). It is so good to see Summer in good spirits. He is such a bright student and it's very nice to see him do well in his learning.

For today's lesson, we reviewed Summer's homework as well as his anchor charts. We also covered Lesson 4 - Task 1 - U3L3 - In Class - Planting Hope.  

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: pace, fluency, decoding, context clues, text features, and comprehension

4) Genre: Realistic Fiction

5) Context Clues

6) Mind Map / Idea Web: Community Projects

7) Points of View: Author & Narrator
