Dogs
By Abby

Three tails going thump, thump,
Three smiles smiling at me,
Two yellow tails and one black,
Cutie dogs smiling at me,
I love my three dogs!



My Pet Fish
By Jade

I see pets as I pass,
Finally I made up my mind,
I came home with a lovely fish,
Then I named my fish Spike
Now, me and Spike are best friends!



My Brother
By Sage

I see my brothers brown eyes on his white skin,
I see him running all around the house,
At dinner time he is a dog. He licks every one at the dinner,
I like my brother very much
But sometimes he can be a pest!



My Fish
By Austin D.

I see my fish cleaning the glass,
The black and white fishes are chasing each other,
There's one who eats the trash in our tank,
They dart and zoom through the water,
My favorite one, I watch scoots his mouth across the glass and rocks!



The Soccer Game
By Ben

Today I have a soccer game
I'm so excited I feel like jumping off a building with a parachute!
I see soccer as my life
My knees are touching m y chest as I run,
I am having a Blast!



My Friend Annalise
By Erin

Two girls running around the playground,
Annalise and me playing together,
climbing up the slide to run from Jack,
Now we are best friends
And we will be forever!



Trading Cards
By Cade

After school at 3:10, I go to a tree, a pine tree,
At the tree you see four boys,
The names of the boys are Sage, Ben, Cade & Seamus,
We trade Yu-gi-oh and Pokeman cards
We have lots of fun at the tree.



Class Poem
As we run up the steps we see a yellow, twisty slide,
We see kids going slow or fast around the playground,
Kids are picking dandelions,
Kids are kicking soccer balls all around the field,
The playground has lots of fun things going on!



My Friend

As I walk into class, I see Katie,
Katie is my best friend,
She makes me laugh,
Katie has orangish red freckles on her cheeks,
I like Katie and she likes me!



Puppies

Puppies all around the classroom
Smallest puppy laying under a table,
I went to sit beside it,
She same and crawled up on my lap,
I asked if we could take her home.
Mom said, yes, We named her KeeKoo.



First Steps

My feet are moving me down the stairs,
The stairs are white,
I'm holding tightly to the railing,
My feet feel wobbly,
I screamed and my Mom and Dad ran to me and kissed me.

My sister and I stood by the Welcome To Arkansas sign,
Purple petals with yellow star,

A fun trip with Nanna and my sister!

The best part was that she didn't cost a cent,

Mr. Meow-meow

Kitty-tag is a game my cats play,
Deciding if I was getting one cat or two...,
They chase and run after each other, knocking over the scratch pole,
When I knew they were brothers I had to have them both,
I love Mr. Meow Meow.
