Get into the spirit of Valentine's Day and practice some figurative language at the same time. Students read a humorous letter from a son to his mother and find 10 examples of similes using both the as and the like forms. A bonus box writing assignment is included as well as an answer key. This would make a great morning work, classwork, homework, literacy centers, or reading stations assignment, and is appropriate for small group or whole group.

The students loved the activity. Several asked who made it. I had to explain and tame down their enthusiasm so they could learn similies.

My 5th graders love similes, and even though I blew it and forgot to use this in February, I'm gonna have them do it this week since it's parent/teacher conference week, and it's a great time for them to show the parents some love!!!

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Subject Area:
I have been a public school teacher in a highly respected district in the Atlanta metro area for the past 12 years. I have taught very diverse students, usually all together in one group! After teaching fourth grade for ten years, I am now teaching a computer lab special to 3 and 4 year olds, and loving it! I am also the technology coordinator for my public, special needs school. You never know what changes life will bring!
