Swimming (by Celine)

I like swimming in the pool.

It really makes me cool.

In the pool I like to drool.

I know I'm not a fool at the swimming pool.

 

When I don't have school,

I head to the swimming pool.

At the pools there are lots of rules.

Molly (by Celine)

Molly, the dolly,

Was very jolly.

She had a dog named Polly.

Polly was a collie.

Molly had a friend named Holly.

Holly was a creepy, crawly.

They paid money to ride a trolley.

They got a ball and played volley.

When Molly and Holly

Was done with their folly,

They went to visit their friend Wally,

Who served them tamale.

Girl Talk (by Celine)

My friends and I like to girl talk

On the smooth sidewalk.

I wasn't a fast talk.

It was a long talk.

Our talk was girl talk.

We heard a story with a beanstalk.

We saw a hawk

Who was heading towards the dock.

No boys to squawk.

No moms to give a pep talk.

We heard an alarm clock.

We looked at the clock.

It was twelve o'clock.

We better get some sunblock.

Teacher Strike (by Jevin)

I hope we don't have another strike,

But if we do,

I will hike up the mountain

With my mountain bike.

 

At the top of the mountain

Where the air's clean

And the eye can see far

Beyond the view of any car

I can sit and malama

To think about how I was taught

To use a comma.

 

I hope the teachers get high praise

And if the strike is still going on in May

I hope they get their just pay,

A raise.

Tae Kwon Do (by Nicholas)

Tae Kwon Do is my favorite sport,

I have friends that I love to sort.

I love to kick and punch so much,

I love Tae Kwon Do a bunch.

 

Bam! (by Nicholas)

I love to dunk, I love to slam.

I love to tease, I love to BAM!

Watch the ball go through the net,

I always, always get set.

Sweet Forest (by Nelson)

When I walk in the forest

It sings like a calm chorus

It sounds like a bell

And makes me feel well

It makes me dance

It reminds me of France

I love it when I hear it

I just want to sing it

I like to play in the leaves

With my long sleeves

It's fun to play in the sun

While eating my buttery bun

I'm Spoiled (by Elyse)

Oh how you spoil me.

You give me lots of treats.

I love to eat them.

They're very sweet!

 

Though my mom only lets me eat some,

I wish to have more.

I wonder how much more will come,

I hope I'll get to score!

 

But the one I like the most,

That is always there for me,

Is you my sweetheart grandma,

The one that's spoiling me!

Toys (by Ashley)

Toys toys toys toys

Toys make me think of boys

I like toy balls

But not toy dolls

They also bring me joys

That is why I love my toys

 

Candy (by Ashley)

Candy candy

They make me dandy

Oh how I love my candy

My friends eat it

And so do I

Candy candy candy

My world is full of candy

I Like Swimming (by Tyler M.)

Swimming, swimming, swimming

I like swimming

I wish I could swim every day

In a pool or at the beach

Even in my bathtub.

SPLASH!

I Like Fishing (by Rylan)

Fishing, fishing

I like fishing

Yes I really do

I hope one day

I catch a fish

Over and over again

Boys (by Kacie)

Some boys annoy me so much

I want to annoy them a whole bunch

Sometimes they can be fun

But don't give in a ton

 

They make you laugh

They make you cry

But when they go away

You'll give a great sigh…

My Mom's Corn Bread (by Kacie)

My mom's corn bread

Is as big as my dad's head

It smells o good

I put on a hood

To keep the aroma in the room

It is so yellow

That my mom's fellow

Comes dashing in

To meet her

My Teacher Is Deranged (by Stephanie)

Dreary me, oh dreamy my,

My teacher is deranged,

And if you want to ask me,

I think it is very strange.

For learning is not learning,

If you learn if from a weido.

I wish that I could help him,

And then become a hero.

 

Goodness, gracious, oh my gosh.

Teaching him is so much harder

Than I really thought.

No matter how hard I teach,

He simply does not learn.

Ok, I give up; you take the job,

It is now your turn.

You take him, you be the hero.

His learning percentage is nothing.

It's zero.

 

Hey, what's up, how are you doing?

Is it neat, it is fun?

Does he rise up like the sun?

Are you frustrated, are you mad?

Then give it to another lad.

That's ok, you don't have to shine,

Or at least not all the time.

Give it to him or give it to her,

It doesn't matter, your life's a blur.

It is too hard, we cannot do it.

Oh, well, too bad, whatevers,

I knew it.

Smelly Socks, Smelly Socks (by Avi)

Smelly socks, smelly socks

They're purple and they are blue

I've got 1,000 of them

But I've only got one shoe.

 

Smelly socks, smelly socks

They're all from the store

After I bought 1,000

There was only 1 pair more.

 

Smelly socks, smelly socks

There's one more pair to go

Will I be the one to buy it

Or will I be too slow?

 

I Like Soccer (by Avi)

I can kick high

I can kick hard

I like to play soccer

In my backyard

 

I run fast

I dribble good

My foot's as stiff as a piece of wood

 

I am good on defense

Cause when it rolls to me

I'll kick it very hard

I'm as good as good can be

Power Beads (by Kacie)

Intelligence, success, and love

That's what power beads are made of

Sometimes they sparkle in the sun

And sometimes they may cost a ton

I wonder if they work you say

You'll think about it all day

But you're wasting your time I say

You wasted your whole entire day
