Taco Bell
Taco bell is my grace and glory. I can hear the tacos screaming EAT ME EAT ME.
I can just taste the hard tacos in my mouth right now. I mean we have to eat something.
The meat on those tacos remind me of Mt. Everest making the sour cream the snow and the lettuce as the green glowing trees.
It's mouth watering its something to die for you better think outside the bun!

Jacob Myers
Trumpet
The tarnished trumpet toots triumphantly
like a chorus of carolers singing on a doorstep.
Its golden brass shines like the sun.

Kimberly Rudolph
My Cat the Acrobat
Sat on a map which led her to a Nat
O that creepy crawly fat cat
she sat got tired of that and took a little nap
so she went and sat on
a trap which led her to a rat
that sat on the trap
that fat cat went and sat on the map
then she saw a rat which saw the cat
so the cat got off the map
and chased the rat which chased
the Nat who chased the bat
the cat scratched the rat
O that acrobat cat!

Matt Schaeffer
SOCCER
My team was playing a soccer game one day,
It was a great day to play,
The greasy green grass,
The slippery soccer ball that was as big as a pie,
Made me fall.
Next thing I knew,
I was shooting the ball,
It was like a bird in the sky.
Goal!

Neidy Aguilar
Ocean Sea
It smells like rotten fish.
But it tastes like a salty water dish.
The ocean sea is very blue.
But people say it's not true.
It sounds like a lot of clapping.
But it's so warm so I feel like napping.
The ocean sea is like a big bucket of paint.
The ocean is huge as a football stadium.
The ocean sea has waving wavy waves.
The ocean sea is blue as the sky.

Alivia Crerand
Snow football
We play like an NFL team
On the white snow
As soft as cotton.
Glistening boots move across the field.
That ball is too tough to tackle ... touchdown.
The ball is quick.
Now McNabb is moving mostly towards Moss.
That's the weirdest team yet.
So fun.
So so tough to tackle.
So so rough.
Once we go home we are kids.
Again that was the best game yet.

Beware of bears
Polar bears brown bears big fat boulder bears
Golden bears gummy bears I like yummy bears
Foaming bears groany bears even very moany bears
Moldy bears boney bears whiny bears
Shiny bears dirty bears very very clean bears
Army bears scrawny bears piranha bears
Even very naughty bears
Tree bears
Leave bears
I gotta go bears
Polar bears, white as snow
Grizzly bears, gigantic boulders
A black bear climbs a whistling tree

Christi Myers
My Bed
I go soaring
Through the sea
In my plane to be
I go up to the
Moon as my bed
The ship I designed
It myself with
A rainbow and
A pot of gold
At the end
I jump around
Like monkeys in
The playgrounds and
Jungle gyms
It's time for
Bed and as I
Dream of what
I'll do for my next
Adventure

Bryan Allen
Basketball
When I play basketball with my dad it surely makes
Me feel so glad. I toss the basketball in
The air and as easy as pie I watch
The ball fall out of the sky and ... score! But when
The day is said and done that
Means it ends all the fun.
So I bounced my ball
Into the house and went to bed.

Shermeen Muhammad
My Country
My lovely country America
The star of our eyes is America
We fight for our country
We gave our lives to our country
Our pride is our freedom
Our lives is our freedom
We celebrate our country together
Let's raise our flag high together

Abby Huettner
Kitty Katy
My Kitty Katy is such a fatty.
You can stroke your fingers through her long white and silver fur.
At night you'll hear her purr and you'll fall in love with her.
She brushes her teeth all night and her teeth are so bright.

Adolfo Salinas Jr.
Spiders are Everywhere
Fire is red strawberries are blue
Someone saw a
Spider I wonder who
I made an art project with lots of glue
But while I did that I heard
Spiders singing sweet songs in my mind too
Also the spider's webs are glue
And also reminds me
Of the ocean blue

Brendan Bare
Orange
O orange ain't
They so orangeaful when
you hold an orange your eyes twinkle
delight orange o orange they should be
kings of the worlds aren't better
than apple when you bite
your taste buds jump
