Waterfall
Beautiful waterfall little and small,
with palm trees tall and green.
Swimming in the water,
Waterfall splashing into the river,
Water that tastes fresh,
Bumpy palm tree leaves,
Beautiful sunset.
Jane
Soft Polar Bears
Soft polar bears at the North Pole,
playing games with family.
Growling at each other,
White, soft fur covered in snow,
Watching babies in the cold,
Hunting to eat.
Brianna
Deer in the Forest
Deer in the quiet woods,
with big antlers.
Babies with little antlers,
Little, white tails and long ears,
Long legs and brown hair,
Deer in the trees.
Arlis
Ocean Sunset
Beautiful sunset,
at the end of the day.
Clouds hiding the sun,
Lighting the evening sky,
Red, pink, yellow and orange,
Sunset reflected on the ocean.
Leticia
Guinea Pigs
Soft guinea pigs,
softer than ever.
Eating lots of Timothy Hay,
Carrots and parsley too,
Sometimes messy,
Squeaking when thirsty.
Kalie
Nature's Sunset
Beautiful sunset,
the sun going down.
Orange clouds crossing slowly,
Leaves moving back and forth,
Roaring wind blowing,
Through the tree,
Dark lake is still.
Jeffrey
Ocean Dreams
Ocean's sunset still and calm,
nighttime's coming.
Dolphins jumping in the water,
Purple, red, white and yellow,
Clouds drifting by,
Feel the breeze,
Water rushing through my fingers,
Listen, as the water touches the shore.
Raquel
Lakey Ways
Two ways for the rivers,
to go towards the sun.
Trees spread the water,
Trees surround the river,
As the sun is like a king.
Kyon
Trees
Trees moving around,
with blowing leaves.
Air that tastes fresh,
Hard bark under my hand,
Spring is a time for green and yellow,
Owls hooting in the trees.
Kate
Hay Field
The field is green,
and cattle will soon live there.
Green grass whistling in the wild,
Oak trees on the other side of the field,
A green blanket that feels cold,
Grass that smells like rain.
David
Mother Nature
Mother Nature, Mother Nature,
you took this little moose.
Saved from hunters with rifles,
Hiding in the green grass,
Little no more,
Strong and brave in willow field.
James
Sunset
The sun going down below the mountain,
water wishing above the sunset.
Bright and low below the mountain tops,
So warm with a bright shine,
Looking at the sunset.
Aislinn
Blessed with Nature
Mountains high,
with leaves blowing.
Blessed by beautiful nature,
Sitting on a rock,
Hearing the stream go by,
Birds soaring through the air.
Sierra
The Hurricane
White swirling clouds and dark blue sky,
going towards the Earth.
Crushes all the cars and houses in its path.
The white blue sky moves trees,
breaks roads.
The swirling white clouds get slower and slower,
Blow away.
Ricky
Sounds of the Wild
Wolves howl the songs,
of the sound of nature.
Sounds of the wind,
Blows snow on the wolf,
Wolf covered with snow,
Fur soft and cold,
Mother Nature guides the wolf,
She protects him,
Telling him where to go,
Hunters are close,
Traps are close,
Sounds of the wild.
Kelsey
Nature's Jewels
Stones scattered on the riverbed,
a collection of jewels made by nature.
Piles of rocks and pebbles,
Smoothed round over eons of time,
Their colors as numerous as the stars,
Decorated by the Earth herself,
With spots, swirls and stripes.

Wear a breathing mask.
Can wear a spacesuit.

Have sharp claws to tear up trees.

What to Do If You Are a Paintball Player
Runs so he doesn't get hit.
Make a plan so he wins.
Hide so they can't see him.
Shoot people and get bruises.
Be a good shot, not a bad one.

Have to be sneaky and so good they can't get hit.
He can't let them win.
But he has to be smart.
Have to have a paintball gun before entering the game.

What to Do If You Are a Wild Horse
Galloping across the fields.
Rolling across the grass.
Protecting their young.

Running in the open wild.
Climbing on the Rocky Mountains.
Jumping across the streams.
Running off wild animals that will hurt them.
Feeding their babies.
By Kelsey and Sierra
What to Do If You Are a Frog
Hops on my legs in water.
Catches flies on its tongue.

Are different kinds.
Lays eggs in different places.
Diving in fresh water.

Chases strange cats.
Plays with another dog.

Licking kids when they get excited.
Laying in the sun.
Panting when they get hot.

What to Do If You Are a Dolphin
Jump up in the air.
Swim in the bright, blue ocean.
Fight off sharks in a group.
Make ill children very happy.

Work for the U.S. Army to save people.
Be friends with people.
Swimming in a pod catching fish.
By Sierra
What to Do If You Are a Baby Dolphin
Find out how to answer yes and no questions.
Learn how to help other dolphins when drowning.
Watch mother fight off a shark.
Swim away very quickly.
Stay with mother for three to six year.
Drink lots of milk from mother.
Copy mother when doing echolocation.
Try to ride waves with mother.
Jump as high as they can.
Kiss mother by rubbing each others beaks together.
