A Pre Poem

Here is a poem and a simile about the stem pre, which means before. Me and my sister (7) worked on the poem and simile and I think it came out quite well. I hope that you can  figure out the poem. I hope you also enjoy both the poem and the simile.

I precede reptiles,

And I hop on tiles,

Floating on water,

And my legs are served by waiters,

I get eaten by dogs,

And live in a bog,

And I can predict the arrival of fog.

Can you guess what I am?

To precede is like to jump.

Fish and Trees

Here is the poem and simile I did today. I think that the poem I did is kind of funny. It is written from a fish’s perspective. I think that the simile is very realistic. Do you think so to? Let me know. I hope you like  this. Enjoy! 

First, the poem:

I have a superstition,

That broad leafed plants like to feed,

On helpless fish like me, 

And take control of cats,

In big black hats,

but to me, no one heeds.

Next, the simile:

Superstitions are like trees; they start kind of small but grow very, very big.

Poem and Simile

Here is a poem and a simile I made today. I thought the poem was silly and pretty good at the same time, and so did my family, so I thought it would be funny to post it on my blog. The simile is my best yet, and I am very proud of it. I hope you like both the poem and the simile. Enjoy!

You were having a dream, 

About being a spectacle,

And floating in cream,

When you fell out of bed,

And discovered, to your surprise,

A spectrum of color, a cake on your head!

An inspection is like a microscope.

Bananagrams

Today, we did Bananagrams. Then we made stories using the words we made. This was my story.

The mindless mule swam in the bay with a bee flying around his head. He had a pie stuck to his head, which had been there ever since he met a clown. If anyone saw the mule, it would immediately have been stuck in the jail for mules. On the shore a mole tried to shovel the sand but only dug up a bee’s hive. The wavy tide washed over the beach, where a turtle lay, saying quote after quote from Shakespeare for me. 

Language Arts Poems Featuring Prefixes

The Prefix ex- means Out

Explode with joy,
You silly boy,
But I get to explode your hair,
And turn you into a bear.


The Prefix sub- means Under

Submarines and subways
both act like worms,
But go their separate ways,
Underwater and underground,
crawling fast and slow.

The Prefix de- means Down

I descended in a creaky old device,
Long out of date,
With a bottom made out of a grate,
And sides made out of slate,
Looking, looking, boldly looking,
For deposits of gold.

The Prefix re- means Again

I remembered to rehearse
My lines for the play
Which was going to happen
Any day.

My Cat Goes Camping

Iguana Stopmotion

As soon as Joe get's back from the hospital he goes on a rampage. Watch as he argues his case in this hysterical video...

Joe, the Lego Iguana

Written version:
(Shows title screen.)

“Here is Joe, my Lego iguana.  He lives in the Lego woods with his friend Blue Snake.  Let’s take a closer look at the iguana.”

(Screen fades to black.) 

“Joe’s favorite food is Lego blueberries, which make him healthy and slightly smarter than a normal iguana. He almost never gets sick and he loves to change his covering with Lego parts. Unfortunately you cannot see his ins... “ 

(Invisible cat comes crashing on top of iguana and his side comes off.)

BOOM! CRASH! BANG!

“Meow!”

  “Stupid cat! Shoo! Shoo!”

(The cat runs off.)

“Well, before he goes to the hospital, I might as well show you his insides.  Here is his brain. It controls his heart and muscles. His heart powers his brain.  He’s going to need a lot of stitches.  Bye!”

“Ugh!”
