Dear James' parents,

It is always nice to see James. He is such an intelligent and engaging boy, especially when discussing his personal interests. I enjoy listening to James as he shares his life joys, especially with activities which involve 'play', lol!

For today's lesson, we reviewed James' homework as well as his Anchor Chart binder. We also covered Lesson 3 - Task 1 - U3L3 - In Class - Up in the Sky.  

We covered the following literacy concepts:

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

2) Key / New Vocabulary - translations and synonyms

3) Reading strategies: articulation & enunciation, punctuation intonation/inflection, context clues, fluency, and comprehension

4) Genre: Fiction

5) Comparison Chart

6) Compound Words
