Dear Summer's parents,

It was very nice to see Summer back to class after his break. Although Summer was distracted throughout the lesson with something he was doing on his computer, he was able to focus enough with my prompts. Keep working on your focus in class, Summer. Thank you.

For today's lesson, we reviewed Summer's homework and his anchor charts. We also covered Lesson 10 - Task 1 - U3L7 - In Class - Listen & Learn.
