Definition Show & Tell

One of the composition assignments in the second grade at Calvert School is to define a color. Children can write about their color of choice and are encouraged to mention how the color relates to the five senses. Here are a few examples:


Orange

Orange is the color of a pumpkin glowing at night.
Juicy fruit and a tiger's stripes are orange.
Orange is the smell of raw carrots.
The taste of mashed squash is orange.
Orange is the sound of drums playing at a concert.
Orange is the feeling of being warm in my bed.


Silver

Silver is the color of a slimy salamander.
My fake sword and rain gutters on my house are silver.
Silver is the smell of burning metal.
The taste of ice-cold water from a spring is silver.
Silver is the sound of a triangle in an orchestra.
Silver is the feeling of excitement when I am looking forward to a sleepover.
