               School

Sometimes I like school.

Sometimes it is fun.

I think it is cool.

I'm always on the run.

When I finish school.

Finally i'm done.

Now I'm not a fool.                       Brandon Y.

 

I love to go to Disneyland.

The Teacups are the best.

Nothing about it is so bland.

After riding I need a rest.

If I worked there I'd lend a hand.

And consider myself then blessed.

For my future I have that planned.                  Emily

 

              Brother's Beat

My brother must have a beat.

My brother lik3w3es to sit in his chair.

When my brother plays, he stomps his feet.

I imagine him playing at a fair.

I always try to copy and cheat.

I am jealous as I give him a glare.

My brother likes to play music with his sheet.     Jeremiah

 

             Ome Day

Through the bright day sky,

Giant eagles soar.

What are not in pies.

Are big apple cores.

A child said hi.

Some paper was torn.

One great day turned night.                 Shelby

 

                          Fame

When you are famous life is so real.

You ride in a big limo car.

Sometimes it's like spinning a big wheel.

But you always know you are a star.

Even with rumors you will heal.

You'll never hang at a bar,

Or never steal.                                             Cheyenne

 

                     Crystal

Crystal is a really good friend.

She loves to run and play.

But sometimes she hits the end.

She can be real funny when she gets that way.

She can make you laugh no matter when.

You know she is great no matter what time of day.

And we'll always have time to spend.                  Cheyenne

 

                        Friends

They're always there when you need them.

They always have your back.

They are always close like tire and a rim.

Some people need to give you some slack.

When you need the lights to be dim.

Or you need them to help you put up a rack.

When you need to wake up they'll give you a'hem.

My Future Dog

One day I'd like a puppy.

I'd be feeling pretty lucky.

It wouldn't be a dog

Or lazy like a guppy.

I'd like to take him for a jog

My special little puppy.

And we'd climb up on a log.                               Crystal Wright

           Getting Stuff

I bought this beautiful flower

Up in a high tower.

I got this mouse from a pretty house.

I got the lion.

This time I found it in the wall.

The lion is pretty tall.                            Kristen Markwitz

 

We could have animals in our house.

Like a dog and a cat but not a mouse.

I know some people that like tigers.

And there are crazy animals called ligers.

I'm afraid when I buy an animal alone.

I think animals are very cool.

But then people used animal bones for tools.

                                                                     Jeremiah Medrano

                    Grass

There is a big green mass.

Of long flowing grass.

Like the large, deep Dead Sea

That leads to the fat key.

To the big treasure chest

Which is covered in dust

So unlock it they must.                      Colby Chase

 

            The Bunny

I found a cute little bunny.

But then she took my money.

When I came home from scdhool,

She looked at me like col.

She can really be a brat sometimes.

But when I give her a treat,

She looks at me all sweet.                     Breanna Young

 

                    The Cute Puppy

I saw a cute little puppy, walking down the street.

He had little white spots on his tiny feet.

When I took him home, he jumped all around.

And then he made a cute little puppy sound.

I thought to myself, "I want to keep him."

So I asked my mom if we could, and she smiled a big smile.

And I waited for an hour, and she said, "Just for awhile."

            Green Day

Green Day is my favorite band.

My favorite band in all the land.

Billie sings.

His guitar rings.

Tre plays the drums.

If Mike plays bass,

They'll win first place.                   Madison Davis

 

           Soccer

Soccer is a great sport.

Basketball has a court.

Volleyball has a net.

When all the teams had met.

Some people were angry.

Football is really rough.

Sometimes you've had enough.            Shelby Chase

 

 

            Money

You may think it is funny

But I really like money

I really like my cash

But my bread is gone in a dash.

Money buys many fun things.

I bought a shiny new bike

And some nice new shoes by Nike.          Tyler Starr

 

               Cell Phones

I am w,ritting this poem.

Because I had my own cell phone.

I have it incase I get really hurt.

Like if I fall really hard on the dirt.

I am really happy to have it.

I use it to call other people, too.

Or if I get scared and somebody says, "Boo!"

                                                                               Alyssa DelGuidice

 

                   Bunny

I had a lot of money

For my rich bunny.

He was so sad.

He never was glad.

But then I gave him a pot of honey.

It was the best.

He was acting like a pest.                     Desirae Mercado

 

                Keep

Going to KEEP

I'm going to leap.

Keep sounds like fun

But they don't serve buns.

The mountain hike will probably be my favorite.

It will still probably be fun there.

I think they will have excellent care.             Crystal Wright

            My Friend

I know this boy named Bob.

Who likes to eat corn on the cob.

He is so funny.

He loves to read.

He's punny, and to play with, funny.

That's my friend, Bob.                                     Kristen

                Motorcycles

My motorcycle is bright honda red.

Jacob, Casey, and my kid brother, too.

All ride Yamaha's that are very blue.

To the top of the mountain they said.

I follow my friend Sam who is red like me

He stops half way up the view to see.

At the end of the day I crash in bed.                Tyler

 

            Eissler

Eissler school

Can be fun.

You're not done.

It makes you cool.

Eissler school is what you need.

You can help pull the weeds.

So help make the school rule.

          Fear

You cry with tears

We call these fears.

Friends for four years

Listened to peers

Voices you hear

My poor, poor dears

These are called fears.                 Alexis B.


Gabella and oreo are cool!
They always play around and make a mess
They always play around and act like fools
when they make a mess they alwyas make less
We bought them a christmas present with tools
Everytime they play they make a big mess
Everytime they sleep they always drool!              Ryan G.




Gabrella is fun she loves to play!
Oreo is fun she likes to play with clay
They like to play in the mud and the dirt
Everytime they play dress up the wear a skirt
They like to play pinball with eachother

They always go outside and play in the car
They alway go outside and play on bars                Ryan G.


I wish I can fly
Like a bird
So I can apeak a different word
Or I might die
I wish forever
Or my name isn't trever
Oh I wish I can fly                             Roman S.


There fierce instinct
They help with prestincts
There love for people
They can't have a pimple
They don't lie
They can play dead
And you don'thave to tell them to go to bed     Roman S.


She cries when she is hungry or tired
she's silly but only when she's happy
BOSSY! feels like you're gonna get get fired
But when she talks it's really snappy
Is she a robot who is not wired?
If she does something well it is clappy
When you are done with her you will feel real tired  Sydney S.


He is a dog that is very playful
He is much smaller than a western gull
It's my niece Jaydens new puppy Zues
He will bite on your shoe lace if it is loose
Very friendly with big black furry hair
He chewed on my mom's favorite black shoe
The only thing bad is when he goes poo                  Sydney S.


 Soccer is very important to me!
To play you only have to pay a small fee
It is a very great sport to keep you moving
At the end of a winning game everybody's grooving
People can get very competitive while playing soccer
You don't want to fall and get trampled
Your hair might look awfully scrambled.  Alexis Moreno


I can't wait to go to Disneyland
Although it still cost a  large fee
it is worth it when you feel free
Sometimes you get so dizzy you call it Dizzyland
Summer time, Winter time, Anytime
No matter when it will always be the perfect time
so leave all you worry's and have a good time!      Alexis Moreno


Soccer is so cool
My mom won't let me play
Insead i play at school
My brother say's im gay
I told him "Soccer Rules"
He said " I've got nothin to say"
And then he jumped in the pool          Ariel Rodgers


Teachers will teach you many things
That's what makes them so great
But sometimes when to lunch bell rings
You don't like it when they make you wait
Sometimes they'll act like kings
To help you acceleratw
And help you achieve your wings      Emily Biezad
