Mother’s Day project turned simile lesson :)

When we were making our Mother’s Day projects (shown below), I noticed that one of the pages included a simile.  Then, it dawned on me that I have yet to teach my kids about similes :)!  So, we used the project to jumpstart a simile mini-lesson!
I made this chart that we used to come up with some similes for our moms!  Notice the sticky notes… my sticky-note stash is GONE!  I have ZERO sticky notes left!  Seriously, how can a teacher survive without stickies?!  I didn’t want to write directly on the chart so that I could save it for next year 🙂

Moms… feel privileged.  You are as cool as Usher.  That’s legit 🙂

Here’s a look at some of the completed Mother’s Day projects.  I bought this little craftivity (made by Andrea) during the BIG TPT sale.  You can find it {HERE}

This one’s simile is a little off, but I love how she made the hair and face!  So creative!

We watched a Brain Pop Jr. video to study similes a little further.  For some reason, Moby is much more affective than I am.  Especially this time of year!

To finish off my English grading for the year, I made a few simile activities that we will be using this week and next!  You can get those for FREE {HERE} or click on the pictures 🙂

  10. Thanks for the simile freebies! And you are so right about Moby! My kiddos definitely prefer him over me…

  13. Ha I laughed when I saw the Moby comment! I agree!! We have turned to Moby for help with that summer time fever my littles have been having lately! Love the post, everything you do is so adorable!

  14. Love all of your activities!!! Thank you for sharing!!! 🙂 And you are absolutely right- Moby is WAY more effective this time of year!!!!!

  18. These are great! I have done similies with my kinderkids for Mother Day poems. I love your ice cream ideas with simile! Thanks for sharing!

  19. This is so great. I hope I have time to use these. Does your district do DRA and CBA testings? They are about to kick my rear!!! So looking forward to May 31. Thanks for all you do.

  20. Thank you for sharing. I am using this for a good-bye to a retiring teacher. The pages will be collected and put into a book for her.

  22. Your drawings on your anchor charts are always so adorable. You really need to go into designing your own clipart also (in all your spare time, right?…hahaha!).
