Parachuting

by Joel & Chris

Floating in the air in that big blue sky. Windy and rainy. I would rather be dry.

Floating through those white fluffy clouds. It's fun and scarey, so don't look down. It's dangerous and daring and It's so exciting.

My Cat Shadow

by Jordan

I have a cat named Shadow and she's really, really quick even though she's rather small and isn't very thick.

She is rather quick, but she isn't very tall. She won't come to me even if I call.

I love my little kitty even though she's kind of lazy. I love my little kitty, even though she drives me crazy.

My Dog Shadow

by Joleen

I have a dog named Shadow. He's black as black can be and everywhere I go he's there beside me.

We've taught him tricks. He does them for his treat. He loves to do them for me. I think he's pretty neat.

He's smart, cute and cuddly. He guards me when I play. He loves me when I'm lonely. I miss him when I'm away.

I love my dog named Shadow. He's the best a dog can be. I wish he'd live forever and always be with me.

One Day

by Cari & Dani

One day Mrs. Olson said to me, "My goodness, Cari, you got an E."

I said, "Why me, Why me? I simply never get an E." I ran home so quick, I didn't even hear what my teacher had to say.

Then I realized my mom would punish me today!!

"Oh, goodness me, Cari, an E. How could this happen?

"You may not get in bed, until you wed. You must raise that E up to a B."

"But, Mom," I sighed.

"No Buts", she cried. "You may cry and sigh until you die, but you must raise those grades!"

I went to bed and couldn't sleep, so I counted my sheep, and thought of those great, great grades.

That morning I went to school, and thought how I'd look so uncool because I had no sleep last night, I had had a very, very bad fright. And all the kids would laugh and cheer because the E girl is finally here."When will this horrid dream be all over?" I thought to my self.

"When are you going to get up out of bed, honey? You're going to be late for school again."

And the moral of this story is, Wake up before you get an E.

Lightning

by Mathew & Cody

Lightning is fast in the sky. When it comes from the sky it is bright and it is very high.

Why does lightning come from the sky? Tell me why it comes from the sky? Now we know why it comes from the sky.

Falling Leaves

byJohn

Falling leaves so golden-brown. Silently falling covering the ground. Peacefully dancing round and round

Until we rake them up from the ground they fall in autumn, we jump in the piles. Then they burn. Then they are no more.

Thanksgiving

by Emily B.

Thanksgiving is a time when the Pilgrims came.

The Indians helped them by giving them grain.

I'm not really sure if this is true, but they might of brought cows that moo.

Cranberries, turkey, bread, and butter, It kind of makes me want to flutter.

Friends, Family, Relatives, and People go to the church and see the steeple.

Pies, Cakes, Cookies and Candy. All of these things are very dandy.

Now go to sleep and say good-bye. It kind of makes you want to cry. But Christmas is coming soon, then Easter with the rising moon.

Once I saw a Rainbow

by Amber S.

Once I saw a rainbow. It colored up the sky. It kept going on for miles so high in the sky with colors.

It looked pretty in the dark blue sky. I know you want to touch it and you can't. When you're in a plane, you go right through it.

Best Friends

by Mandi

I have a friend. She lives so far away I don't know what I'll do ...Without talking face to face.

Her name is Katlein. She has dark brown hair. ..And bright blue eyes.

We talk on the phone every week end ...And write each other all the time.

Even though we live so far away, I'm glad we're best friends all the way.
