Happy Monday Division 6! I hope you guys enjoyed the weekend and spent some quality time with your moms on Mother’s Day!  I want to talk about two things before I begin the talking about the schedule.  FIRST, today is the due date for the ETC. – ALMOST YEAR END SURVEY.  The reason we’re doing this survey is for your END OF YEAR CERTIFICATES.  Please complete it today, if you haven’t already done so.  SECOND, I’m going to hold a class meeting on WEDNESDAY on MS TEAMS at 11:00 till 11:30. If I set up the meeting correctly, you should be able to click on the JOIN NOW button and then you will be apart of the meeting.  I’m going to ask each of you one at a time to describe something that you did on the weekend that was fun – it could be how you celebrated Mother’s Day, it could be about a video game that you played, it could be about a book that you read, or about anything that you did on the weekend.  I want everyone to have a chance to speak.  Everyone should be apart of the meeting.  Please make sure that you mute your microphone while someone is speaking. Here’s today’s schedule:

Read it carefully – you will be making similes and metaphors for your COLOUR poem. There is an example of what the format of the poem looks like, so use that as a way to help guide you.  Similes describe two things using “like” or “as”, while metaphors compare two things without using “like” or “as”.  I want you to search a video on youtube titled: “Similes and Metaphors by the Bazillions” to get some background information on similes and metaphors.  The due date for your COLOUR poem is FRIDAY, MAY 15^TH.
