Millarville Cool News - Kindergarten Similes

The Kindergarten class at MCS have been engaged in an inquiry looking at the things we learn from family and friends. We've been investigating the roles and responsibilities in families, relationships with our friends and our connections to each other. We've been using information about our family members as we look at numbers in math.
We read the book, My Dog is as Smelly as Dirty Socks by Hanoch Piven, a very cool artist and author. This book looks at the family portrait in a very different way – using similes to describe each member. Then we used Mr. Piven's collage technique of using everyday objects to create our own works of art. We then wrote some similes to describe our family member.
Here's a sample!
Raine: My mom is as loving as a heart and as snuggly as a cat
Jack: My dad is as prickly as a hedgehog and as tall as a building
Stetson: My mom is as lovey as a heart and as lovely as a flower
