The Picnic Ella G.

Water crashing against the shore
viewing the birds rocking in the water
the view of Lake Michigan is just a breath taking view.

I touch tree that I climbed hiding
so Gabby won’t find me
I run all the way down to where the waves crash against the shore
where Gabby found me

We ate pretzels, strawberry’s and more
We laughed so much all I hear was laughter
I smelled a big giant rose

Jack my Dog Diego N.

I see dog lifting its leg
liquid coming out
I hear my sibling freaks out

I smell pee
I touch bleach
I taste nothing
I just woke up
am hungry

Dirty sheets need to be washed
my dad is pissed
walk the dog
still has to pee

ONE
I see him throwing the ball at me with his arm going back so he can get ready to launch the ball really far.

TWO
I feel the shape of the ball when I catch it.
I also feels the texture of the ball.

THREE
I hear his laughing because he is having fun playing football, I also hear me laughing because I am having fun.
