Dear Marquis' parents,

Once again, Marquis came to class with very interesting topics of discussion and presentation. He showed me his gravity ball maze game based on the 'Art of War' by Sun Tzu (a brilliant Chinese military strategist) as well as many other topics. Amazing! Marquis is such an intelligent and sweet boy, and a true joy to teach.

For today's lesson, we reviewed Marquis' homework as well as his Anchor Chart binder. We also covered Lesson 10 - Task 1 - U3L7 - In Class - Ideas from Nature.  

We covered the following literacy concepts:

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

2) Key / New vocabulary

3) Reading strategies: text features and comprehension

4) Mind Map / Web

5) Root Words and Suffixes

6) Genre: Expository Text

7) Conversation: skills and word choice
