Monday

We had a great day today! We learned about a new poetic device - personification! We practiced this skill by giving human qualities and characteristics to the four seasons, after reading a personification poem about Winter. The final copy of this exercise along with our metaphor and similes self-portrait will surely be a stunning display.

For homework:
  • Please remember that PE is canceled tomorrow, so you will arrive in your uniform.
  • Spelling homework (more work with analogies and suffixes!) is due on Thursday.
  • Read for 20 minutes -- perhaps 20 minutes with an excellent novel? Perhaps time spent lost in a Poetry Anthology? It's up to you!
  • Return Socials tests with signatures as soon as possible.
Good night, 5D!
