The first graders in 1R have been learning all about poetry over the past week. We read the book "My Dog is as Smelly as Dirty Socks" by Hanoch Piven to learn about similes. The students learned that a simile is a comparison of two things that are different, using the word "like" or "as". The students were able to identify similes from a list of sentences and then create their very own similes about ice cream cones!
