Chelsea had some chocolate milk
By Kenn Nesbitt
Chelsea had some chocolate milk
but spilled it on her shirt.
Jackson got his jacket ripped
while rolling in the dirt.

Emily and Isabella
must have had a fight.
Alexander looks as if
he stayed awake all night.
Abigail is absent,
as are Ryan, Ross, and Ruth.
Max is in pajamas,
and Mackenzie lost a tooth.
Brandon broke his glasses.
Sarah’s sweater doesn’t fit.
Jacob has a bloody nose,
and Zoe has a zit.
We should all be crabby,
but we’re smiling anyway.
Our moms and dads are gonna scream—
today is picture day!

An afternoon with Uncle James



On Tuesday afternoon Uncle James came in to Room 5. He is a friend of Mrs Manuyag. In his spare time he likes to design some cartoons. He is a great artist. He taught us some little details like doing our eyes, noses, eyelashes and eyebrows. He was fun to work with because every time I said "I can't do it" he would give me some courage, and in the end I will end up doing it. Thanks Uncle James. He is AMAZING!!

Birthday Rules.

Birthday Rules

By Bruce Lansky

Don’t invite your friends who haven’t learned to use the potty.
Changing diapers, certainly, will drive your mother dotty.
Don’t complain when Grandpa Gus gives you a birthday kiss.
If you’re bothered by his beard, just dodge so he will miss.
Don’t spill cake and ice cream on your sister’s brand-new dress.
Do not start a food fight; you will have to clean the mess.
Don’t try to pin the donkey tail on your fat uncle Fred.
Don’t ask Auntie Jane’s new boyfriend when they plan to wed.
If you get a gift you hate, remember not to swear.
Do not cry when Grandma gives you purple underwear.
If you follow all these rules, your birthday fun will double.
And if you disobey them, you will be in lots of trouble

Lovely Teacher.

Lovely Teacher
by Linda Knaus

Lovely teacher, lovely teacher—
eyes of periwinkle blue.
You are such a pretty creature,
and I’m so in love with you.
How I long for your attention,
so I’m acting like a fool.
Put me down for some detention,
just don’t send me home from school.
Oh, I’m filled with pain and sorrow,
for my teacher is so cute,
but she won’t be here tomorrow,
’cause she’s just a substitute.

Fairy Tale of Snow White.


One day there was a girl named Snow White. She was homeless and she had nowhere to go. One night she was walking in the woods and she saw a light coming from behind some bushes and it said on one of the trees “Looking for a princess. If so, stand in this spot and we will get to you in a hippy” She stood in the spot. The guards came straight away, because they had a camera pointing on the spot they soon saw her they were like “Omg we need to go and get you cleaned up come on jump on the back of my horse” she jumped on the back of the horse, they rode off within the fake bushes. She was amazed, she couldn’t believe her eyes. She was astonished she saw the beautiful grass and the massive castle and also all the weapons and knights. The guards took Snow White to the showers she washed herself and well she was having a shower they washed her dirty looking dress, at first they all didn’t want to touch it. A little while later they gave her clothes she loved them the blue part wasn’t all ugly and dirty and the yellow bit wasn’t so stainy instead it was beautiful and nice. They asked her if she wanted to be there princess because they reckon she was the ONE they cherished her for life and forever and ever until Lovely Snow White died.


Excuses, Excuses.

By Joyce Armor 

I couldn’t do my homework.
I had asthma and was wheezing.
I had nosebleeds, measles, heat rash,
with some very painful sneezing,
and itchy skin with blisters—
oh so blotchy red and hivy—
malaria and toothaches,
and a patch of poison ivy,
eight spider bites and hair loss,
and a broken leg with scabies,
Rocky Mountain spotted fever,
and a full-blown case of rabies.
I suffered—it was awful—
but I’m feeling better now.
Could I have done my homework?
No, I really don’t see how.
