Early Humans Board Games

Today students played the board games they made in the theme of Early Humans (standard 6.1). Students did an amazing job summarizing the information we have been investigating the past month into Fun Games! Next up, they will take them home and play them with their families. Well Done!

Figurative Language Rap!

We have been going over the common figurative language terms including simile, metaphor, personification, onomatopoeia, and more. After making a mini book of the terms with our own examples, students put it into a song.

Working in pairs, they composed a song, added music (VirtualKeyboard.com), recorded the song, then uploaded it on their figurative language power point to play back to others!
Well done Champions!
