Mr. O'Brien 4th Grade
I see a fire
it burns it hurts
I see them they
have warmth I feel
bad for the earth
all of a sudden the
air it hit me
the fire it grows
I wish I could
do something and they
put it out
Today you can go outside and get
fresh air because it’s nice
today in Chicago not cold it’s 61 degrees
or 59 degrees.
Fire
Water
Earth
Air
Fire is as hot as a stove
Water is as wet as
Earth is as rocky
Air is all around
us. Air is the stuff
we breathe. Air keeps us
alive. Air helps in every
way. Air cools us off.
Air warms up.
Water is fun it can hydrate you you can
have fun with water it will let
you do anything in it!
Fire flips water swirls
Earth spins and twirls
Air breathes through the
wind.
All elements spin and spin
they come together
they shine so
bright at night! They twist
together they shriek &
cry.
But all together they
make our life.
The wind is mistly in the sea. The sea is
moving slowly fish are swimming. The earth is
warm it felt like fire.
Mrs. Rupp 4th Grade
Water can destroy you but it can save you.
It’s weird
water shouldn’t destroy you
and save you. That’s like
saying something can get
destroyed but it can’t.
I just
don’t get water.
O—fire is very big to cook with
O—air is very clean to breathe in
O—earth is very round to live in
O—water is very drinkable
now we are done!!!
Water, so light, but when angered
a massive force, from tsunamis, to
pools. If anything disturbs it
it gets mad. Water is a massive
force.
Four elements,
as the forests ignite, sparks
shoot out from the sky.
Animals scramble out, looking
for shelter. As big red trucks
arrive, locals are ordered to stay
away.
Water comes out of long tubes
from a truck, and stops the
fire. The trees, still wet, are no
longer on fire, and the animals
are safe.
The earth is charred and black,
no longer able to grow plants.
Animals run, trying to find new
homes.
The air smells a fire, with
smoke still polluting the air.
Water is clear, as a piece of glass,
which should be told, to a young lass.
Extinguished fire, with a single blow,
and flows and flows. Cuts through
the earth, through rock, and it can
wet a sock.
Air, can never be limited, free, floating
about, and sometimes has the urge to shout,
blows, rocks away, but better stay away
from its rage.
Earth, has rocks, and is the builder of
the four elements. Shall be still, except
for once. When it is enraged, for once.
Fire, always angry, will burn and burn,
in its menagerie, it always will dance,
will never stop, and will always be enflamed.
For once.
Ms. Travis 4th Grade
This is when
homes flood.
Swishing through
the air into parks.
Someone caused this
damage. Could it be
him, her, you, me?
Someone caused this
damage. If I were you
I’d let it be. At least if
it were a hot summer day,
frying while the swishing.
It would be a relief. But
a domino effect. Water triggering
the fire, triggering the air, into the
earth. Someone caused this, and our
world may be lost.
Water.
Falls like the earth.
People play
as it falls.
Water puts
out the heat.
But do humans
take out the
water?

The water, how beautiful
helpful
dazzling
Why pollute it?
Ask, why?
The water, how dirty
bad
unhelpful
Please the animals
Please the Gemini, the June Birth Stone
Ask yourself
Why?
Fire is soft, soft like fur
but when touched it gives
you a burn.
Water smooth like skin but
animal sounds.
Air invisible like care so smooth
but not could be heard.
Earth like grass gives life
to people but solid in despair.
The oceans
might be
legally separate
carrying life forms
through their
time on earth,
which influences
earth and
mammals too
like humans and
cats.
But in the end
the oceans make
one sea, to guide
the planet as
the only of the
planets to have
life.
Fire has burning
layers
smoke can go in the air.
Water burns Fire.
Fire burns wood.
Fire vs. Water.
Easy.
Water
wins
Air
is the
most
helpful
substance on
the planet.
It helps
us
breathe
and
plant
mushy,
gloopy
carrots,
which
will
never
work out.
you wish!
Mrs. Johnson 4th Grade
Water caused a flood. Everyone, everything
drowned and sea birds, sharks died
because the water was toxic. Then luckily
I had scuba gear on when the flood
came. I had to be in my submarine
because remember it’s toxic. I fell
out then I was scared. It was
dark the toxic turned into acid!!!
that’s when I died.
Fire: Is helpful to keep you warm, to help
you bake, and fire hurts you really
bad.
Water: Helps put fires out, gives you
water to drink, and you get to
swim in it.
Air: helps you breathe, also it helps
you with your body, and get
fresh air.
Earth: It’s where I live also it
is where most people live too.
I like water. I can swim
in water. Water can be hot
or cold.
Water is wet.
It can be
cold or hot or
in between,
frozen, boiling water.
Water can be in
many different states.
Fire cooks food so
we can eat. Fire
makes light so we
can see. Fire can
be scary if you
think it is.
Fire is hot
fire burns
I’m concerned.
Where is the fire?
I smell fire.
Uh oh.
I’m burning
my toast.
Uh oh run
FIRE!!!
Mrs. Oluewu 4th Grade
Raging fire battles
churning water
(with help from Air and Earth)
Air blows fire towards Water
Water blocks
Fire, grows weaker
Water hydrates earth.
Earth lashes
Fire burns it to ash
Water is on its own.
Water drenches Fire.
Only small embers remain
Water has won
For now…
She started it
it was toasty and the food was good
we got leaves and wood
she started it
He started it
it was hydrating
we got cups and he filled them
he started it
I never thought much about how the world
would end maybe fire, or water, or earth, possibly
air. Well it never seemed to matter to
me because I never would be alive for it
to happen to me. Well my world all ended & it
started with water
waves filled with junk that it picked up on
they way to our house it came fast & quick
boom boom BOOM Boom WUSH slow & quiet
at first then louder & finally crashing through
the walls making an instant pool in our
house & leaving us homeless.
It was.
Flood Deadly.
A swirl of wind,
a small little breeze,
a little air
is what we need.
It flies and blows,
strong it can be,
but sometimes a good feeling.
Though danger could come.
Blow things away,
carry you around
to somewhere, you may lose your way.
But it is used everyday,
a breath of it is what we need.
A swish and flick, a breath and blow,
air it is, and one element.
Everything starts with nature. Ore and stones from
mines. Fruit and wood from trees. Used to
build foundations and make food.
But how does
nature start?
It’s hard to believe, but it starts as a
delicate seedling.
Then, it is given fresh air from the breeze,
and cleansing water from the rain.
Then it grows, seed to sprout, sprout
to plant, plant to a mighty tree! Then
it might perish under the fury of
fire.
