Dear Marquis and Marquis' parents,

Marquis had so much energy today! He was fully engaged throughout the lesson and participated in all the lesson activities with enthusiasm and determination.

I also noticed a significant improvement in his English language speaking skills (increased confidence and clarity in pronunciation) and in his reading skills ( improved fluency and increased comprehension of vocabulary and context). Fantastic!

Really awesome work today, Marquis!

For today's lesson, we reviewed Marquis' homework plus covered Lesson 26 - Task 1 - U2L8 - In Class - Extreme Animals.  

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: translations, definitions, and synonyms

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

4) Genre: Expository Text

5) Discussion: Chinese extreme animals

6) Conversational practice: Dragon Boat Festival

7) Sentence strategies: avoiding run-on sentences

8) Proofreading: to correct spelling mistakes
