Dear Summer's parents,

Summer had a very strong English language lesson today. He maintained his focus and engagement throughout the lesson and he actively extended the curriculum to incorporate his own knowledge of himself and the world around him. Excellent work today, Summer!

For today's lesson, we reviewed Summer's anchor charts and his homework. We also covered Lesson 11 - Task 1 - U3L8 - In Class - Nellie Bly Reporter for the Underdog.  

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

4) Genre: Biography and Expository Text

5) Greek and Latin Roots

6) Author's Point of View
