Father God,
As we start this new day for new learning, we ask for Your
guidance.
Lead us all the way. May You let us see through Your eyes, listen
through Your ears, and speak with Your Mouth.
Be with us as we explore the world.
Give us the heart to love and be kind to one another. Please
watch over all our teachers, children, and families.
In Jesus’ name. Amen

comparison between two non-similar things
without using “like” or “as.”
Examples:
“His love is my treasure.”
“Your kiss is a magician's trick."

things or abstract ideas.
Examples:
“My alarm yelled at me this morning.”
“The wind is whispering outside.”
"My heart jumped to my chest."
