Kids

By Angelique

The kids saw the kids

who were moving out

and they said do you

want to be friends and

they said yes and

they became best friends

I have a dog

do you want to see my dog?

 

Moving in 

By Oscar J.

A couch a lamp a dog that’s

black baseball uniform and a

white dog that is so beautiful

and they are moving in.

 

Poem

By Arianna V.

They are moving in and kids are wearing

pink.

The kids were playing all

that one kid got scared

because he saw someone.

It was his mom.

Moving

By Anai T-C.

The dog is colored

brown and black.

He looks small.

The head is shaped

as a circle.

 

The little girls

like to play soccer

and likes to eat Ramen.

 

New Friends

by Estrella C.

The dress like bubble gum

cute like a doll

 

Emma is kind

tiny like a ballerina

hair dark as night

bow pink as cotton candy

 

the houses in a row

couch out of the truck

boxes sitting on the grass

 

new friends

play baseball

helping move in

nice neighborhood

 

Ms. Sauer & Mrs. Sanez

By Maritza T. 

The kids say that you want to

play baseball with us. They say

yes. We want to play with you

guys. We love baseball too.

They play baseball

They apologize for being mean

They play games

They play at the park
