Our figurative device scavenger hunt is well under way! There is nothing better than hearing: ‘Madame! I found a metaphor!’. Ss are scanning our classroom books searching for ways that authors use figurative language to enhance their writing. Princess Elizabeth PS TVDSBLiteracy

Ending our day with our book, Because of Mr. Terupt, and a fireplace video has been my new favourite routine. Ss volunteers are improving their reading and conquering their nerves about reading out loud. Great work Grade 4/5s! #junior #grade4 #readaloud Princess Elizabeth PS Rob Buyea
