Un Abrazo Es Como Un Circulo: Similes at Darwin Elementary

Similes are exciting because they illuminate similarities between different things. This week the 2nd graders and I worked on our own similes, or, comparison poems. The 2nd graders came up with a lot of cool ideas. You can see that a lot of students where using the same things, but then comparing them in exciting and different ways. Enjoy!

Nijah D. by Jaileen S.

Paint is like a rainbow
A porcupine is like a cactus
Cotton is like clouds
A pen is like squids ink
Glasses are like glass
A marshmallow is like a pillow

A crayon is like a colored pencil
A tiger is like a poetry folder
A globe is like glasses
A light is like the sun
The sky is like a flashlight
A marshmallow is like the moon

Un lápiz es como una tabla
El cielo es como un papel
Paul es como Angelito
Angelito es como Angelita
Un libro es como un libro
Una casa es como una escuela
A cuatro es una classe
Un corazón es como una mamá y papá

Pencil is like Tree by Octavio O.

Cielos es como la tristeza
El globo es como un chicle
El fuego es como el sol
Roca es como la mesa
Una mariposa como una música
