Mission Space
Mission space the thrill ride
With fun and joy.
People barfing with joy.
Huge planets of aliens.
Easy passes for cutting in line.
Sam
My down stairs
Our big down stairs is so cool in the summer.
The couch is squishy, it cries to be sat on.
The bathroom is sea-shelly and smells like the ocean.
The TV is on most of the time.
Samantha
Kitchen
The kitchen is a place to eat, cook, and
a gathering place to talk and laugh.
The fruit is on plates waiting to be eaten.
Cupboards hold tea boxes and wash cloth yummy and dry.
On the countertops flowers and plants are dyeing of thirst.
The phone is calling window to shine light on it.
Gianna
Italy
When I go to Italy I feel like I can do anything,
like boats going throughout the rivers.
I see meadows where deer play.
I see blue skies around me.
I see people having fun.
Justin
My house
My house has a doorbell that sings a little song
and there is plants with some rocks.
It has bricks with cement.
The step is motionless so are tiger statues.
My door is made of wood and glass to protect my sticks.
Long
My Living Room
My big living room is very exciting
With lots of things in it.
The couch cries out to be sat on.
A TV waiting to be sat on.
A mirror ready to be looked at.
Nikki
Museum of science and history
The museum of science and history has gadgets and inventions
Its gadgets and inventions invite you into science and history
Facts to be learned.
Puzzles to be solved.
Things to create.
Kevin
Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls water spreads mist into the air.
Waves are striking plant into the water.
The water is icky but still blue.
When the water hits rock it spreads mist.
Kyle
The African Lion Safari
The African Lion safari has many things
to do and many animals to see.
The baboons have lots of trees to jump off of.
When a baboon jumps on to my mom's window, she freaked.
The baby baboons would ride on there parents most of the time.
Michelle
The Statue of Liberty
The green copper lady that used to be gold
Stands in New York City in the partly cold.
With a flaming torch in one hand and a tablet of law book in the other.
Below her you see the Atlantic Ocean big and black.
Soon I will come back to see the copper lady that used to be gold.
John
Our Heads
Our heads have a lot of things.
so we can do a lot stuff.
We can hear out of our ear and smell out of our noses.
We see with our eyes and we bite with our teeth.

Climb on trees
Eat food and bananas
Have lots of fun
Be wild
Swing from stuff
Groom each other
By Courtney
Things to do if you are a cartoon
Get smashed without getting hurt

Smell smoke and find out you are on fire
Be a hero or a villain or a animal
Eat dirt that taste like candy
By Dakota

Don't scream in my pillow
Don't punch stuff

What to do if you are the air
Move the air around
Move the stars around
Blow air on people
Have birds soar around the air
Making people cold with the wind
Bring a storm to the town
Make windy days come to the town
Make paper airplanes fly away
The air will blow people back in there house
By Long
Things to do if you were a paper
Be folded into a bird
Become a paper airplane
Hurt people in the eye

Fly in the air
Be cut by people
Have a story on top of the paper
Be used as a spitball
Be used to show films
By Long
Things to do if you were a cat
Be lazy on the couch
Eat food from the bowl
Poop and pee in the cat litter

Purr when your owner pets you
Clean yourself
Lick your owner
Hiss at dogs and other things

Dip your head in the water as deep as you can and find some food

Stick your tongue out on a hot summers day
Kiss people you love
Sit and shack to earn a treat
Eat dog food out of a bowl
Lie down and roll over too
Stay right there
By Michelle
What to do if you are in danger

Defend yourself

Go to a trustable neighbor's house
Stay in the house

What to do if you are sick
Take some medicine
Go to the doctors

Eat healthy food
Eat a Popsicle

Wont to take a nap
Eat cat food
Get rubbed by person
Roam around a house
