Welcome everybody! Come on in and have fun while you learn. Right now we are working hard on vocabulary, reading comprehension, and scanning in preparation for the reading test. Try the links below and let me know what others you would like to see here. Remember you have homework EVERY NIGHT! You have to read one-half hour EVERY NIGHT and write a one sentence summary of what you read in your writer's notebook. Also you have to add an entry in your writer's notebook EVERY NIGHT! Entries can be "rememberings", "noticings", quotes, daydreams, poems, songs, complaints, rejoicings, etc. I can ask to check your writer's notebook any day so be sure and keep it up. CHECK OUT THESE GREAT POEMS!!!!!! "The Game" Chasing the ball getting hit by a ball that comes fast as a comet so much pain excruciating pain, but then again so much fun kicking and sliding. As I kick the ball I feel like Hercules kicking the ball no goal, so disappointed But then again enjoying the game. "Walls" Chris L. These trapped walls force people to do crazy things they hurt they pressure these walls stop people from doing fun stuff and they’re tall they fall these walls guard people from going anywhere why must they hurt? "No More Pain" riding my bike, jumping over pools. Getting speed, chain pops out, ouch!! Lying on the ground like a rock wanting to cry, (Is anybody looking?) pain like I got beat up by five kids. I want no more pain. "Baby" A new born baby big and cute a new member a boy too sweet and soft with blue eyes. Born near the ocean with the smell of baby lotion what a wonderful baby we have.

No more to cry He is not worth crying or begging for.

"Alone Again" Together once again, but not for long. Talking, laughing together, but so much pain. When the sun goes they go. The moon comes, pain comes. Alone again Gone today, Gone forever. "Little Bunny" Holding you close to me your little nose twists against my face. I want to see you jump around. Chewing on your little carrot I like it when you smell like candy. "Perfect boat…" This boat that we just built is just fine and don’t try to tell us it’s not. The sides and the back are divine it’s the bottom I guess we forgot… "Cooking Cat" Smell like trash repulsive smell between my house and theirs "Dinner Time" people chewing, tasting the smelly cat. Eating cat’s skin I feel like throwing up.
