Snowflake Similes

Today we learned all about similes and how they are used to compare two unlike or unrelated things.  We talked about how similes use words like as or like to help connect and compare those two things.  The students then created similes about snowflakes from descriptive words we came up with to describe the snowflake.  Some of our awesome examples include:


The snowflake is as relaxing as the sunset.
The snowflake is as white as snow.
The snowflake is as light as a feather.
The snowflake is as fragile as glass.
The snowflake is as breakable as I am.

We attached these similes to snowflakes we created and they are now hanging up in our classroom!
Come take a look :)
