Dear Marquis' parents,

Happy Lantern Festival to the whole family! Marquis shared so many wonderful stories and photos about the Lantern Festival. His confidence and effectiveness when speaking in English has grown so much. It is a joy to have an English conversation with Marquis. He teaches me so much about so many subjects, my goodness!

For today's lesson, we reviewed Marquis' homework plus covered Lesson 7 - Task 1 - U3L5 - Discover the Universe  

We covered the following literacy concepts:

1) Pre-reading strategies: text-to-self and text-to-world connections

2) Reading strategies: articulation & enunciation of key vocabulary and comprehension

3) Effective English Conversation: organized thought, accurate word choice, and fluency

4) Mind Map / Web Graph: 'What are four important things about the Solar System?

5) Genre: Expository Text

6) Reading Instructions Carefully

7) Subject-Verb Agreement
