Dear Summer's parents,

Although Summer was distracted by something on his computer, with prompting, he was able to focus and engage enough in the lesson to cover all the lesson curriculum that was planned for him to learn. Keep working on your focus and engagement in class Summer. Thank you.

For today's lesson, we reviewed Summer's homework and his anchor charts. We also covered Lesson 8 - Task 1 - U3L6 - In Class - Jacob Riis Champion of the Poor.  

We covered the following literacy concepts and strategies:

1) Key / New vocabulary: definitions and synonyms

2) Reading strategies: fluency, context clues, text features, and comprehension

3) Genre: Biography

4) Vocabulary Building strategies

5) Online Dictionary usage

6) Pre-reading strategies: prediction, identification, text-to-self and text-to-world connections

7) Author's Point of View
