Dear parents,

Your children had another positive and fully engaged lesson today. As usual, they worked very hard and they completed all the lesson curriculum successfully. They are wonderful children to teach!

Please Note: I wish to thank you for the following: Anchor Charts are sent to support the lesson curriculum and they are important for helping your children reinforce the knowledge they learn in class and to successfully apply this learned knowledge into their homework and school work. I sincerely appreciate all your efforts in helping support these very effective instructional methods, for the success of your children's advanced academic learning achievements. Thank you.

For today's lesson, we reviewed your children's Anchor Chart binders and we also covered Lesson 4 - Task 1 - U5L4 - In Class - Your Turn.

4) Cause and Effect

5) Figurative Language: hyperbole
