Dear Summer's parents,

Summer made some excellent connections related to today's lesson reading, with his father's job: his garage door business. It was so nice to hear Summer describe his father's job with such passion and detail. He even showed me his father's website and he shared that he enjoyed working with his father on garage doors as well. Very cool! Well done today, Summer!

For today's lesson, we covered Lesson 5 - Task 1 - U3L4 - In Class - Brick by Brick.  

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, in-character voice, decoding, context clues, text features, and comprehension

4) Genre: Realistic Fiction

5) Context Clues: Definitions and Restatements (Synonyms)
