Spontaneous Poem by Hudson, fifth grader

2008-04-07T07:06:00.000-07:00

Spasmatic times in my life
Promises are made and kept by me
Optimistic thoughts flow through my head
Naturally thinking what is going on
Terrific love all around us.
Automatic thinking right then right there.
Notorious hearts beating hard!
Exotic movements moving so slowly
Outrageous things out there waiting to be seen
Unbridled behavior throughout the world.
Sensational minds waiting to be found!

Mask Poem by Madison, RCE fifth grader

2008-03-14T06:32:00.000-07:00

MONDAY NIGHT IN THE LIGHT I SEE A MASK FLOATING.
ASKING ME TO COME CLOSER IN THE LIGHT FLOATING.
SEEING IT WITH BOTH EYES SENDS CHILLS DOWN MY SPINE IN THE LIGHT FLOATING.
KEEPING MY EYES ON IT, AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN IT’S IN THE LIGHT BREAKING.

The format of this poem has been changed from the original created by the student, the original format was not able to be used.

The Christmas Book by Evie U. Third Grade

2008-01-16T11:07:00.000-08:00

Every Christmas Eve my family sits on the couch and reads a Christmas story. I sit in my mom’s lap and I sometimes read it. Sometimes we have friends come.
It was fun playing in the snow in 2005. I got my robe on and my house shoes and went outside and started licking my mom’s car ‘cause it had snow all over it.

My Memoir by R. Sands

2008-01-16T11:06:00.000-08:00

It was August 21st and I was in the living room of our lake house. My grandmother came out of the hall and said, “Your dad is coming up the stairs. Get ready!” “Okay, Dad. I’m ready,” I said. Splash! Oh man, I fell. My hair was wet. Yes, I did it. “Wahoo!” I screamed. “Hi, Mom,” I said when we drove past the ski lodge. “I did it. I water skied for the first time,” I screamed to my friend, Colin. We got hot cheesy nachos after that. When we got home I sat down on the couch at the end of a perfectly good day.

“Thankful”
by Jessica in third grade

I’m thankful for the cool wind that blows across the sky.
I’ve been waiting for them since July.

I’m thankful for the thunderstorms,
that bring water to our earth.

I’m thankful for the trees that are blowing in the breeze.
Their colors are so beautiful I’m glad their changing has no end.

I’m thankful for our earth
the place we call home!

The place we call home is our life.
Life is nature.
Thanking things in life makes you realize something special.

Give thanks ‘cause we’re
Thankful.

The Books' n Breakfast group at Rummel Creek Elementary decided that they wanted to share their writing with others. So we talked about ways to share writing. Most of the students wanted a web site, so we're starting with the Blog. As students submit their writing, we will post it for you to enjoy and comment back to the students. We are excited to share our creative sides with you.
