Dancing is Like Victory: Similes at Avondale Logandale Elementary

This week the 4th graders and I worked on comparisons… why wouldn’t you say the wall is like the wall? Well, they are exactly the same thing! Similes make our brains pop by finding similarities between different things. The 4th graders came up with a lot of cool ideas which you can read below:

A cat is like cotton
Love is like peace
The cloud is like a pillow
A ball is like an orange
A bird is like an airplane
A dog is like a videogame
A rose is like a nice person
A tree is like a rock
The colors of the rainbow are
like the colors from the colorful world

A blueberry is like the bright sky
A feather is like a tickle machine
A bird sound is like a radio
The color yellow is like the bright sun
The library is like a sleeping baby
A fan is like a big storm
A stick is like a skinny person

 

Leilani G.

A rainbow is like every color of crayon
The star are like a shining light
A crunching thing is like hard rocks
A tree is like a singing bird
Cereal is like oatmeal
The schools is like the Sears Tower
Dancing like a victory
Wood is like bricks

I’m red like a strawberry
I’m tall like the teacher
I am quiet like a paper
The teacher’s shirt is like a tomato
I’m white like the clouds

 

Maya F.

When the wind flows its like I’m flying
Flowers are smooth like water flowing
Steam is like lava
The sea is like a blue marker
A ball is like jelly

 

Daisy Q.

A blanket is like a fur
The sea is like the water we drink
A paper is like a leaf

My life written is like a book with some stops until the end
A forest is like foggy mud
A train with people is like some ants marching
A king with respect like a king lion
A slow motor is like a snail walking

 

Jonathan C.

My lips are like a smooth paper
My dad is like a gorilla
A diamond is like a glass of water
A funny face is like a clown making faces
The sky is like a blueberry

 

Irving C.

A cats purr is like a thunder growling
The yellow light is like the sunflower’s color
The milk color is like the cloud color
