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.
By Rebecca Kai Dotlich

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.

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!
