Marching Out of School

  Marching Out of School
By Bruce Lansky


(sing to the tune of “Sound Off”)

When the final school bell rings…
(When the final school bell rings…)
Get in line with all your things.
(Get in line with all your things.)
Chorus
Sound off! (One, two.)
Sound off! (Three, four.)
One, two, three, four.
One, two—(clap!)—three, four!
Forward march, now move your feet.
(Forward march, now move your feet.)
Left, right, left, right—that’s the beat.
(Left, right, left, right—that’s the beat.)
Chorus
When you’re marching down the hall…
(When you’re marching down the hall.)
Always smile and stand up tall.
(Always smile and stand up tall.)
Chorus
Pass the office, then you’re out.
(Past the office, then you’re out.)
That’s when you can scream and shout.
(That’s when you can scream and shout.)
Chorus
Marching out of school’s a blast.
(Marching out of school’s a blast.)
When you’re out, you’re free at last!
(When you’re out, you’re free at last!)
Chorus

The Kindergarten Concert.

The Kindergarten Concert
by Robert Pottle

The kindergarten concert was an interesting show.
Peter walked onto the stage and yelled, “I have to go!”
Katie was embarrassed, but she had nowhere to hide.
She raised her dress to hide her face. Her mother almost died.
Keith removed his tie and said, “It’s ugly, Dad. I hate it!”
David picked his nose on stage. What’s worse is that he ate it.
They sang their song, and Wyatt burped, and then he did a dance.
Michael fell while spinning ’round. Peter wet his pants.
The music teacher at the end said, “There, I’m glad that’s done.”
The kindergarten bowed and said, “Let’s sing another one!”

If I cooked hot lunch for my Teacher.

What I'd Cook For My Teacher
By Bruce Lansky

If I cooked hot lunch for my teacher,
I would start out with rattlesnake stew.
Then I’d serve her a centipede salad
And a tall glass of milk mixed with glue.
Next, a seaweed and jellyfish sandwich,
For dessert, an a-chooberry pie.
When she finally finds out what she’s eaten,
I hope the old bat doesn’t die.

Get out of Bed!

  Get Out of Bed!
By Diane Z. Shore

"Get out of bed, you silly fool!
Get up right now, it’s time for school.
If you don’t dress without a fuss,
I’ll throw you naked on the bus!"
"Oh, Mom, don’t make me go today.
I’m feeling worse than yesterday.
You don’t know what I’m going through.
I’ve got a strange, rare case of flu.
"My body aches, my throat is sore.
I’m sure I’m knocking on death’s door.
You can’t send me to school—achoo!—
’Cause everyone could get it, too.
"Besides, the kids despise me there.
They always tease and always stare.
And all the teachers know my name.
When something’s wrong, it’s me they blame."
"You faked a headache yesterday.
Don’t pull that stuff on me today.
Stop acting like a silly fool—
The principal cannot skip school!"

The Opposite Day Parade!

The Opposite Day Parade!!
By Timothy Tocher

Because the day was rainy,
it was easy to persuade
my folks to take me to
the Opposite Day Parade.
The band passed by at twilight
playing Sunrise Serenade.
We liked the music so darn much,
we booed them while they played.
Sleek fire engines followed,
covered in smoke and flame.
I quickly called 119.
Of course, no help came.
Some paramedics raced by,
tearing band-aids off the crowd.
I couldn’t hear their siren
because it blew so loud.
The Boy Scouts never showed up.
I guess they weren’t prepared.
I’d hate to go back next year,
and I hope to see you there.

Today is a good day.

Today is not a good day



Today is not a good day.
I woke up sick in bed.
My stomach has a stabbing pain
that’s spreading to my head.
My knees are weak and achy.
My eyes are full of flu.
I fear I may contaminate;
I have a fever too.
I cannot see.
I cannot breathe.
I cannot read or write.
My eyes are shut.
My nose is blocked.
I’m not a pretty sight.
I cannot lift a finger
or move a tired toe.
My throat is hot and scratchy.
The answer’s simply NO . . .
I cannot go to school today;
I’m awfully sorry too,
this had to happen on the day
my book report was due.

Mary had a little pet.

Mary had a little pet.

Mary had a little pet.
Its fur was black as night.
It followed her to school one day,
Which gave the kids a fright.
It made the teachers shout and scream,
It gave them such a scare.
For Mary didn’t have a lamb—
She had a grizzly bear.
By Judith Natelli McLaughlin.

Sumdog Game Once again!

Once again i was playing Sumdog this time i was practising my division this game is 
fun and interesting to play.

We went to New York City!

We went to New York City!

By Pat Dodds

We went to New York City,
but we never saw Times Square.
We just saw Uncle Henry
and played lots of solitaire.
We drove up to Niagara,
but we never saw the Falls.
We stayed in Cousin Ernie’s house.
I almost climbed the walls!
We traveled down to Florida
to see our Auntie Sue.
We never went to Disney World
like other people do.
We drove to Arizona
just to see Great-Grandpa Clark.
I wish we’d had the time to see
Grand Canyon National Park.
And then we took a little trip
to Washington DC.
We didn’t see the White House
’cause we stayed with Aunt Marie.
We even went to California
several years ago.
We never got to Hollywood,
but we saw Grandma Flo.
So why’d we stay with relatives
no matter where we went?
It’s ’cause my daddy is so cheap—
he will not spend a cent.

Missing fraction Game

This is my knowledge activity the skill i was practising was my putting in the missing fraction.

Waves of Fury.

Waving at beach,                 The piers on the edge
lapping at shore                    once, tall, strong and high-
Cannot contain                     down on the bottom
itself anymore.                      silently lie.

Thunderous bolts                  As the sea lies down, 
fly overhead.                         stable and flat,
Pretty display                        great clouds arrive
but don't be mislead.              where waves once sat.

Sky opens up,                       Oceans hold beauty
Down falls heavy rain.            that capture it's prey,
There seems no hope             still by night,
for calmless again.                  yet roaring by day,

And in the middle                   Some say they rule it.
a ship does fall,                      Some disagree.
pulling down captain               But one thing for sure-
shipmates and all.                    the sea's captured me.

Word left unspoken
by ones that have died
slowly are said
by the unruly tide.

Katie kissed me!

Written by Christine Lynn Mahoney

Katie kissed me! Yuck, it’s true!
My face took on a greenish hue.
My knees, like jelly, started shaking.
Then my stomach started quaking.
Slobber slithered down my cheek.
My consciousness was growing weak.
My ears were ringing, head was spinning.
But all the while Kate was grinning.
My heart was pounding through my shirt.
My tongue felt like I just ate dirt.
Though you may think I’ve lost my brain,
I wish she’d kiss me once again!

  • Sentence Lengths (short, middle, long)
  • Structure (O, P, S, R)
  • Precise (interesting) words

Start here:
This house is for ghosts, people from the dead, this house is full of evil and horror. The trees are waving side to side as if they were alive. These sky is dark grey. All you can hear inside is hard stomping footsteps.

There are cobwebs lying on the windows with dead spiders.The sacred house is the colour of the sky.The grass is now mouldy and looks like a desert. The stairs going up towards the door are wrecked and are broken they start to creek when you step foot on one, The trees are still waving side to side. If you walk inside the room with the light you will see a girl with a pale face and black eyes standing in the centre of the room with the light on.

The other rooms are all dark and have no sound coming out from them which means the dead are sleeping. These are the sacred nights of the halloween house.

Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops.

Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops 
By Jean Burt Polhamus

Tyrannosaurus battled with Triceratops one day And all the other dinosaurs stayed half a mile away. They rumbled and they bellowed and they made a dreadful noise!
The fight they fought was guaranteed to tell the man from boys.

Tyrannosaurus yearned to have Triceratops on toast Or maybe stewed Triceratops, about which he could boast.
But this time, Sir Triceratops turned out to be the winner!
Big Rex got licked and had to go to be without his dinner.

Start here:One day there was a terrible Tsunami, it wiped out the whole town, everyone was shocked and very very scared, all of the cars and all of the buildings were getting washed away.People thousands of people, cars trying to get away but can’t. People running away,screaming, horrified, shocked. Buses, cars, Trucks, People thousands of people just getting flushed away.There is no solution to this horrifying disaster. All of those poor people their lives are ending. I could feel the monstrous waves crashing over the town. Can this just end?

The roads starting to break, crack and split into half cars falling in the middle of the road as it starts to demolish itself.

By Robert Pottle


I ripped my pants at school today
while going down the slide.

My New School.

My New School.
By Kenn Nesbitt

You won’t believe the crazy things
I’m learning how to do.
I’m learning how to juggle,
ride a unicycle, too.

I now know how to twist balloons
in many different shapes
and how to make a costume
out of multicolored drapes.
I’ve learned to run in floppy shoes
and how to dye my hair.
I’ve even learned the graceful art
of dancing with a bear.
For when we moved, my parents looked
at many different towns,
but chose a place with just one school:
a school for circus clowns

Today I had a rotten day!!
By Kenn Nesbitt

Today I had a rotten day
as I was coming in from play.
I accidentally stubbed my toes
and tripped and fell and whacked my nose.
I chipped a tooth. I cut my lip.
I scraped my knee. I hurt my hip.
I pulled my shoulder, tweaked my ear,
and got a bruise upon my rear.

I banged my elbow, barked my shin.
A welt is forming on my chin.
My pencil poked me in the thigh.
I got an eyelash in my eye.
I sprained my back. I wrenched my neck.
I’m feeling like a total wreck.
So that’s the last time I refuse
when teacher says to tie my shoes.

Three Billy-Goats Gruff!

“We’re three little billy-goats,
Not-a-bit-silly-goats,
Clever and smart
And as quick as can be.”

“I’m Billy-goat One!”
“I’m Billy-goat Two!”
“I’m Billy-goat Three!”

“Three little billy-goats,
Mountainy-hilly goats,
Off to the hills
To get grass for our tea.”

“Billy-goat One!”
“Billy-goat Two!”
“Billy-goat Three!”

“I’m a troll, I’m a troll,
And I live down a hole.
Who are you I can hear
On the bridge, coming near?
Who are YOU?”

“I’m Billy-goat One
Just out for some fun,
And I’m off to the hills
To eat some grass in the sun.”
“To eat grass in the sun!

Why, I’ll gobble you up!”
“Be off with you, then,
And don’t come again,
Or I’ll gobble you up!”

“Don’t gobble me up,
There is nothig I’ve done.
I have a brother
Far bigger than me,
And he’d make a much nicer
Dish for your tea.”
“I’m a troll, I’m a troll,
And I live down a hole.
Who are you I can hear
On the bridge, coming near?
Who are YOU?”
“I’m Billy-goat Two,
And I’ve got nothing to do,
So I’m off to the hills
To find grass I can chew.”
“To find grass you can chew!
Why, I’ll gobble you up!”
“Don’t gobble me up,
What I tell you is true -
I have a brother
Far bigger than me,
And he’d make a much nicer
Dish for your tea.”
“Be off with you, then,
And don’t come again,
Or I’ll gobble you up!”
“I’m a troll, I’m a troll,
And I live down a hole.
Who are you I can hear
On the bridge, coming near?
Who are YOU?”
“I’m Billy-goat Three,
I’m as strong as can be,
And I’m off to the hills
To get grass for my tea.”
“To get grass for your tea?
Why, I’ll gobble you up!”
“You’ll gobble me up?”
“Yes, I’ll gobble you up.
I’m a troll, ‘pon my soul,
And I’ll gobble you up!”
“Then I’ll hit you with my horns
And toss you on your back
And if you threaten us again
Then I’ll give you a good whack!”
WHACK!!!
“Three little billy-goats,
Not-a-bit-silly-goats,
Clever and smart
And as quick as can be.
We’re off to the hills
To get grass for our tea.”
“Billy-goat One!”
“Billy-goat Two!”
“Billy-goat Three!”
