4th & 5th Grade Classes
Siblings
Elise
A falling out, a scream, a shout.
A deep black hole, the name of the word.
So how the sun will cry.
Sad goodbye, look at the sky,
you will never see me again.
I will leave, I might climb a tree
and fly away from cages.
I’m free, a bird, a bird eating mice,
a mouse eating cheese,
hide the corn away.
Lost in a field, a shape.
Don’t look at the field, stay away
for it will hurt you in the end.
So we are friends again?
Like the rabbit and the mouse?
So I will see you later today.
Are you the rabbit? A, I the mouse?
We will find out later today.

Christmas
Yamilette
My elf is here, I think Christmas is near.
The lights are up and Christmas is fun.
The tree is done, Christmas is like a big run.
The stockings are nice like Christmas’s cold winter ice.
The presents have been set down, Christmas is like buying a new gown.

I Like to Draw
Vincent
I like to draw:
I have black curly hair and two eyes.
I’m outside, in the park.
I’m playing on the swing, and the slide,
and it’s sunny.
I’m not with any friends, I’m sitting down
drawing a Rick & Morty with chalk.
No one sees him drawing
And he things he is going
to do well.

Shadows
Makaitlynn
This is my shadow,
I can’t see it,
I can’t feel it,
but when it’s dark, lights out,
and walking outside,
wind blowing, leaves flowing,
bird chirping,
my shadow POPS out
wondering: Why do I have
a shadow, me, in my mind?
Everyone has a shadow.
What does shadow stand for I ask?
Stars
happiness
after
doors trapped
open hearted
windows cracked?

Saber Amigo
Yeiber
Las amistad son los amigos
que son respetuosos
y las que juegan contigo
y te ayudan en todo lo que pueden.
Los amigos se pueden encontrar
en el parque.
Se puede jugar con tus amigos.
Los amigos se pueden encontrar.
Y en la escuela,
se puede estudiar y aprender.
Puedes aprender poesía, se puede
aprender matemáticas
pero también
se puede jugar con los amigos.

Christmas
Jade
I see out of the window
snow, and fun, and everything.
I go out to see it’s snowing
because Santa is coming,
but he only comes on Christmas Eve.
And I’m sleeping early
because “he sees when you’re sleeping,
and he knows if you’re awake.”
So be ready, because he is coming
and I wish for you all to have a good
Christmas and a happy new year!

Kittens in the Weather
Miah
The kittens
in the play
pen snuggling
together.
They are
doing that
because of
the weather,
because of
the weather
they need
a sweater.
And because
of the sweaters
they won’t
be cold like
the weather.

Friends
Renesmee, Areli, Sierra
Friends are people who make you laugh
and make you get in trouble for laughing,
and who always put a smile on your face
no matter what.
Amigos es esa persona que sabe todo
sobre ti.
La persona en la que puede
Confiar para todo.
Esa persona es la que cambia tu tristeza a sonrisa.
Friends are people who care.
Finding good friends feels nice.
Friendship is important.
