Yo Yo Yo!  All my ELA homies.....O.K. Enough of me trying to be all gangster.  I have added a link to the figurative language song on the left.  It is a You Tube video created by another teacher.  You will not be able to see this at school as it will be blocked.  For now, you can watch it from home.  Please use parental supervision as You Tube is not a place for children to roam freely.  Have fun learning and singing!
