This week for poetry, we learned about similes. The kids got to eat ice-cream as they wrote a simile poem about their delicious treat. 

We combined each of our favorite similes into a class ice-cream poem. 

In math, to practice with perimeter and area, the kids made a design on grid paper first. Then, they used what they knew about their design's area to help them make a large version of their design out of sticky notes. 

On Thursday, Mr. Smith came to teach us about electrical safety.
