Things I Think are Super Elegant

.

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.

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!

Unusual hikes

Make ceramics

March in the fourth of July parade

Enjoying the warm weather

Making new friends

Entering camp

Marvelous flowers

Baseball games

Enjoying the pool

Remembering the summer days

Pretty restaurants at night.

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

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)

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!

Express feelings… now you try to make…

Some Poem!

Be happy! Help with all the dishes! Clean up after you play!

Thanksgiving is here. Hip! Hip! HOORAY!
