Students have not allowed the months of distance learning to thwart their imaginations! The title of this post is borrowed from Michael N. in Room 206 – one of the 5th graders at Avondale-Logandale who have been experimenting with figurative language. After reading the poem “Things That Look or Sound Like Something Else” by Ana Gomes, students created their own comparisons.

Giraffes and Me

My height is like a giraffe’s body
We are both tall
We like to eat carrots and lettuce

Both giraffes and me are friendly and soft like pillows
We have brown eyes like a frame.
