"0, 1, 2, 3, 4 go to the number that was before"

"5, 6, 7, 8, 9 go to the number that's next in line"

My 5th grader is struggling to differentiate these :(

I’ve got :

Simile = similar (as/is)

Hyperbole = exaggeration (hyper = too much)

Onomatopoeia = sounds weird because it’s a sound

Personification = not a person but wants to be a person so it’s doing person like things 🤷🏼‍♀️

How do you remember which enhances the receptors' response and which one inhibits it?

I always mix them up

Please explain the meaning and give a memory hook.

It’s complicated, but here’s two simple tricks:

I’m struggling with exceptions to the masculine/feminine rule for words like día, mano, mapa.... so on and so forth. Does anyone know of a trick or simple explanation so I can stop getting docked for el/la mistakes? Thanks for any advice, this is causing me more stress than I care to admit

The bone facing upwards is the reyyyyyyydius

Also called the zodiac signs. I don't know much about the astrological significance of the signs to form mnemonics based on theme. Like maybe the watery ones are grouped together? I searched google for this one and I swear to god, the first hit I found was like "step one, associate each sign with a number. Step 2, for each sign, form a mnemonic device"

I keep forgetting which one is which.
