Mr. Schade 4th Grade

New Born Sister by Olivia C.

Sisters are like candy bars because they’re sweet
Sisters are like perfume because they smell good
Sisters are like a mouse because she’s tiny
Sisters are like new clean blankies because they’re soft and cuddly

Untitled by Sandra Q.

The sea is blue like the sky
Her eyes are green like a tree
The cherry is red like an apple
Her boots are brown like wood

Untitled by Daelyn B.

A dirty board is like a cloudy day
An eraser is like an ice cream sandwich
The sears tower is like a hawk
A pillow is soft like a dog’s fur
My sister is noisy like drums
Colored pencils are like rainbows

Ms. Brown 5th Grade

My little sister
is like a vacuum
Basketball is like
a math problem

My World - Valeria C. (AKA Potato) by Lego Yadiel

I have Emmet, and
he is like my brother
I have Unikitty, and
its like my enemy
The lego movie
is like everything
