He learned how to write m and v in cursive. We are focusing on figurative parts of speech this week. Today we discussed what a simile and a metaphor are, how they are alike, and how they are different. We discovered that figurative language is reading candy. He completed a Wordly Wise activity, using these vocabulary words in context. He color coded a chart for the different figurative languages we are studying this week and glued it into his English notebook for future reference. We put up posters for the definitions of a simile and a metaphor. We reviewed and answered questions over Chapter 4 of his literature book.
