.
My Grandma.
High-heeled boots in wintertime.
The snow falling on my windowsill.
Running and jumping in the rain!
Lying on the perfect grass on a cloudy day.
Long speeches.
Fish.
Classical Music.
Diamond Rings.
Chic pampered poodles.
Swimming in clear water.
Macy’s.
Tea Time in London.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Alice’s Tea Cup.
Spending time with my mom in the afternoon.
Playing with old-fashioned dolls.
Listening to the sounds of the woods.

Things to see when you visit NYC!
.
When you visit NYC you have to see
Madison Square Garden
The Statue of Liberty, it is so beautiful with the torch
The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the interesting abstract paintings
Times Square, the shining lights and shining posters
A Broadway Show, when you enjoy the magic of the theater
Spotlight Karaoke, you pick your song you perform
A Yankee’s Game
The Empire State Building, it is so high, you feel like you are on an airplane
The Chrysler Building
The Subway, explore going down in the ground and traveling.
Have a nice visit!

What I Would Like to do in a Cave
Search for cool rocks,
Go in water-way and wet my socks
Find the bats
(Thank gosh no gnats!)
Maybe search for strange
Insects ’cause all of the light is out of range
Speaking of light this was a delight!
Now I must venture where it is bright
And when I leave this cave in the ground
I’ll certainly be seeing you around!
–Damon

Things To Do In Saltaire
Go to the beach
and swim
and dive
and splash
and frolic
’till you can’t swim any longer
then play catch with a tennis ball
dive under the big waves
and jump over the small ones
then go paddle-boarding and windsurfing
and after, watch your dad do it way better than you
and ride your bike without a helmet
along those smooth boardwalks
and appreciate that there
are NO cars in Saltaire
go to camp
with all your friends
and sing your heart out at the Labor Day show
and hang out with your family
including your grandparents
go to BBQ night
at the yacht club
every Friday night
then say goodbye
get on the ferry
and ride on the water
to Bay Shore
and then repeat it all next summer
’cause everyone that goes can’t resist going back
-Lila
.
Puppy Love
Puppies are wild
wobbly on their feet
slobber all over
Sometimes give
kisses or
dance with you or
snuggle or
make me laugh
Doggies
sometimes beg for food like:
hamburgers
hot dogs
pasta
bread
apple
It doesn’t even matter if they like it!

SUMMER LOVING (an acrostic)
Sitting on a beach
Unusual hikes
Make ceramics
March in the fourth of July parade
Enjoying the warm weather
Relaxing in the house
Sports
Touring Boston
Ocean swimming
Reading in a bed
Eating watermelon, ice cream and fruit
Making new friends
Entering camp
Marvelous flowers
Baseball games
Enjoying the pool
Remembering the summer days

My Mom Abby
My mother Abby is beautiful, kind, loving and sweet.
To be with my mommy is a special treat.

My mom is also very smart.
She is thoughtful, and friendly, and fun to play with too!
My mama is so wonderful!
And this is all very true!

Greece
The things I saw in Greece were interesting
I saw:
An underwater volcano,
The Parthenon,
The Acropolis,
Funny guards with pom-poms on their shoes,
The big brick theater,
Long fishing docks,
and
Pretty restaurants at night.
-Jesse
.
favorite foods
if I was eating pie,I wouldn’t cry
if someone offered cheese,I’d say please
if someone said lollypop, I’d be jolly
if I eat too much bread, I’d be off to bed
if I was eating fries, I would never tell lies
if I had a booger on my sugar, I’d be very glum
if a heap of wheat was in front of me, I’d be happy
if I had hot coco, I’d go loco
if I’d have dessert, I’d go berserk
if i had some ranch, I’d do a dance
if I had chocolate, I’d put it in my pocket
if I had soup, I’d yell a whoop
if I had ice cream, I would scream
if I had smarties, I’d would make sure there were no mommies
around
–Gaby

A horrible memory
Big HORRIBLE NEWS!
Rushed home
OWWW!
Killed me, almost
Enough was enough
Now it’s all better.
Enough to scare my mom & dad
Lying on the floor
BAM! like that
Ow!
Whew! All better.
-MAX
.
weekends (an acrostic)
Weekends are the times when I get to do fun stuff, here are just a few of them,
Every weekend I play soccer,
Even some weekends I go to see a movie
Kelly is my skating coach, She teaches me tricks and jumps
Enjoying my weekends is not a hard job for me
No weekend is a bad weekend, after all I love the weekends,
Don’t you just love the weekends?
Sometimes I go to the park and play a soccer game with my dad and brother!
–Hannah

Four Seasons, a Couple of Months, and Stories (an acrostic)
Fall: The season when the leaves fall and the time of 2 holidays!
Of all the things I just said… its real all right!
Use your head and try to think of it as a movie.
Raise your ideas and you’ll be bright!
.
Spring: I love the nature especially in the spring. When flowers bloom!
Elections for Obama just had won,
All of his history has just begun.
Summer: I remember the time I got my first pet. It’s name is Paddie!
Okay sleep away camp time’s here,
Nobody’s gonna stop me cheer!
Spirit’s what I got in here.
.
Winter: I like to go sledding every winter!
I’ll always remember the time I wondered,
The dream of making up games in the winter that might matter!
Hailstone bucket catch, and many, many, more!
.
The Knick’s are my favorite basketball team! They play at M.S.G.
Ride horses at Montauk,
U should imagine with me!
Especially me, my favorite book is the Warriors Series!
.
Some stories were
True,
Out of all of them, none were lies,
Rhymed this poem,
I don’t know why!
Express feelings… now you try to make…
Some Poem!

Thanksgiving
Tire yourself with cooking all the scrumptious,
delicious, all-festive foods.
Greet your cousins, and grandparents
and give your father and mother a nice Thanksgiving hug.
Don’t fight with your siblings, be respectful.
Enjoy the yummy, crazy, elaborate cakes and cookies and sometimes even the mashed potatoes. Homemade and extra
special
Try the weird looking stuff like the sweet potato pie with grandma’s touch (marshmallows).
Shove the salty turkey in your mouth and play around your house.
Be happy! Help with all the dishes! Clean up after you play!
Thanksgiving is here. Hip! Hip! HOORAY!
