Raining Cats and Dogs
My fourth graders have been studying all types of figurative language this year. My students just love idioms! During the year we completed many activities using idioms and I decided to take it to the next step and incorporate one in their writing. My students had to use suspense and the idiom "It's Raining Cats and Dogs" in a narrative piece. I gathered stuffed cats and dogs and pinned on an umbrella. I took photos to add to their final writing piece.
A few of the books that we read:
