Gettin' Figurative with it

My kids have morning work for the first 15 minutes of the day to get their brains going and warm them up. My younger guys have sentence correcting work on various white boards around the room. There are spelling, punctuation and capitalization fixes that they need to find, but I also ask a question to answer. 

Yesterday I asked if they could describe the day using figurative language. It was a chilly, dreary morning and it sparked something poetic in me as I was getting ready for the kiddos to come :) I guess my third grade buddy was feeling similarly poetic. 

"Coldnes rings throw the shivering air and they are trying to get tugged and warm like us because the cold is getting stronger"   

Whoa baby. God is good!
