Alliteration

April is poetry month, but we are getting a head start on figurative language. I taught alliteration last week, which some kids got right away:

Kid 1: The kitten karate kicked the Kool Aid man in the kitchen.

Kid 2: Monsters make meatloaf on Mondays.

Kid 3: My sister was surprised since she never saw a singing shark. 

Kid 4: I threw a pizza in my brother's face.

Like I said, some kids struggled. 

Here is one of my favorite examples. By a favorite student. Teachers have favorites. Just in case you were wondering. 

Translation:
A stranger stepped on a sandwich. Someone slurped it up.

Some snip its from my classroom that made me chuckle:

Uh. Good luck. 

I see where you're going here... good effort 

Apparently my telling time lessons were ineffective.

"I ain't never heard a no color with
a T, an R, a Q and a zero?!"

Baby sout, babing suit, but never a bathing suit.

So you think you're pretty good at cursive, eh?

Don't we all, honey.
