Love is Like...

Yesterday in SMCA we had our Valentine's Day party! To prepare for the party, and to practice writing with figurative language, I had my students complete the following sentence: "Love is like..." After they had written their similies we wrote them out on hearts and placed them in the hallway for some festive decorations! I want to share with you some of the things that my kids wrote becasue I was very impressed with they came up with!

Love is like a poor family that is happy.

Love is like a flower that blooms in the spring.

Love is like a good dream in the middle of a nightmare.

Love is like coming home.

Love is like an umbrella in the rain.

Love is like a cool summer breeze.

Love is like a happy smile.

Love is like the stars shining in a cool winter night.

Love is like reaching the summit of a tall mountain.

Love is like a lamb sacrificed on a crossbeam.

I just thought those were wonderful similies! Way to go kids!

The whole school at the Valentine's Day Party!
