What we are doing this week. June 30, 2011

Tamsin and Henry:  This week we are learning to write a simile. A simile is when you compare something with something else, like " a cat is as thin as a toothpick". Each of us wrote a simile, turned it into a poem and picture. Here is Henry's poem:

My Dog
He is as fast as a jet boat
He is as black like the dark night
He howls like a howler monkey
He is sly as a spy
He is my favorite dog.

Tamsin's poem:
My Brother
My brother seems as mean as a witch
And is as skinny as a stick
He has hair as straight as a horses mane
He is as stinky as sheep poo
His body is as rough as sandpaper
His favorite pet animal is as soft as silk.

This was a fun project. Our favorite part was drawing the picture and coloring. Tamsin hopes her brother does not read this.
