This week at Smyser Elementary, we learned about performance poetry and watched a poem by Sarah Kay titled “Mrs. Ribeiro.” Students learned about similes and practiced writing our own while thinking about a person in their life they admired!
Mrs. Showalter’s 4th Grade Class
Mason M., “My Mother”
My mother you are kind as Jesus Christ
you give, you love, you expect only love
I love you
you are fast as a Cheetah when I’m in
need of something
You deserve all you need in life
You are the best Mother.

She’s so kind and nice.
Dominik S., “A god…”
Jesus’s hair is like a blanket covering
everyone from cold. Jesus is always for us
to help like a bridge lowering down
to go across. He forgives us for our
sins like a doctor helping us feel
better to stay healthy. He is powerful
like a God sending things to let us
know something.
Knox W., “Violet”
My cat laying on the couch like bread
on a cutting board.
My cat’s whiskers
are like yarn on a knitted blanket.
