Dear Marquis' parents,

Marquis had another excellent lesson and he shared with me how many of his friends have had a broken arm (elbow, shoulder, etc.) and I was so surprised. We worked on challenging vocabulary for him to learn, so as to describe 'injuries' with more accuracy and clarity. He did well with his explanations. He is very lucky that he has not broken any bones but I'm so sad for his friends, my goodness! Poor boys.

For today's lesson, we reviewed Marquis' homework plus covered Lesson 17 - Task 1 - U2L2 - In Class - The Badger and the Fan.  

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: translation, definition, and synonym

3) Reading strategies: decoding, context clues, text features, fluency, pronunciation, and comprehension

4) Genre: Folktale

5) Theme: precise and detailed

6) Conversation Practice: descriptive language
