I thought I'd win the spelling bee
And get right to the top,
But I started to spell "banana"
And I didn't know when to stop.
-William Cole

Lost Head
I'm sorry I got angry.
I guess I lost my head.
It really doesn't matter-
I'll borrow yours instead.
I'll have it back by Friday.
You won't miss it at all.
Until then you can borrow
My brother's basketball.
-Douglas Florian

A Careless Zookeeper Named Blake
A careless zookeeper named Blake
Fell into a tropical lake.
Said a fat alligator
A few minutes later,
"Very nice, but I still prefer steak."
-Anonymous

The Fox Has Caught The Chickens
The fox has caught the chickens,
But the chickens fixed the fox.
The fox is skipping dinner,
For they gave him chicken pox.
-Jack prelutsky

Armed and Dangerous...with Marshmallows?

Today was the last day of school,[boo Hoo!]and it was great! I walked over to a shelf and saw that it had 17 bags of marshmallows on it.{Parker and Tanner weren't there.}the marshmallow bags were split with ribbons and attached to them was a long piece of PVC pipe. later, Lori told us to go outside, but take a pipe with us. so we did. We all ran out to the park, and Lori and Ami started handing marshmallows out. All of a sudden, marshmallows were flying everywhere! BAM! a marshmallow hit me. BAM! I shot one at Lori. for a while, I just followed her around shooting every few minutes until I got tired of that and shot one at someone else....soon it was over and we went back inside. Everybody was laughing and saying just how fun that was. I will never forget that day and I still have my bag of marshmallows unopened so I look forward to doing it this summer, too.

SAVE THE ANIMALS!

It all started on a september morning when my teacher, Lori,shouted: "Okay,you guys!write this poem down in your journal!" we did as we were told, but that was not all she said: "then think of a way you could make the world a better place." the poems were written, so was mine, so i got into action. I thought about this. When I got home that day, I scrambled around my room, looking for a shoe box. As soon as i found one, i went downstairs, into the kitchen, grabbed a recipe card, a permenent marker, and went back up. In pencil, I wrote ENDANGERD ANIMAL FUND BY KAITLIN on the card. With the marker, i wrote on top of that. Then I put 50 c in the box. I taped the card n the lid. I took it to school the next morning, and told the whole class about my plan. Soon there was lot and lots of money in the box. In the last of september I took the box home. A few days before this, i was on the computer, looking for something to do. I happend to stumbell upon wwf adoptions. We had raised 50$, enough for 2 animals. I decided the I would adopt an okapi and a sea otter under the school's name. The school is very glad I did this. And you know what? so is mother nature.

Yellowstone Times

I just got back from Yellowstone National Park in september...and wanna tell ya all about it. These are the animals i saw: billions of elk, bald eagles, lots of bison, some canadian geese,a cyote, a fox,and thats about it. We went to mammoth, though we did not see any mammoths! :.] I loved the beutiful terraces,especially one that looked like giant ice cubes. One thing that I was afraid of was [dun don duuun!]SULFUR CUALDRON! Why? The huge bubbles of smelly stuff of course! and *sigh* of course, Grandpa,[Ross]had to take a video of the smelly pit. It seemed like he took forever, I was afraid one of the ginormus bubbles would burst all over me! We also went to the GRIZZLY & WOLF DISCOVREY CENTER we saw 7 bears and 4 wolves. We saw Old Faithful 2 times. I'm back now, but sometimes I cry for the glory of Yellowstone.

The Walking Talking Bull-Boxing Box

I read this story to my class today, and boy, did i ever pull some giggles out of them!
here it is. :.]


In a little pyramid there sat a mummies tomb. In the mummies tomb sat a box. This was no ordinary box. One day the mummies tomb's door opened. Out came the box. He took one step,"MOO", he said. He took another step,"OINK", he said. Another step."WOOF", he said. another step."MEOW",he said. He walked outside to a big building. He went inside it. Inside there were twelve fenced pens. Inside them were bulls. Also inside the building was a conveyor belt. Boxes were on the conveyor belt. On the wall was a rope. Box took the rope. Then he climbed into a pen and tied it around a bulls neck. Then he turned the conveyor belt OFF. Then he put the bull in a box. Then he taped the box shut. Then he giggled. He switched the conveyor belt on. Off went the bull,being shipped to paris. He shipped 5 more bulls to Scottland, Texas Wales,Mexico and florida. Doing this made box tired. So he walked all the way home without another word. When he got home, he climbed into his tomb and fell asleep. the end.

A story of true friendship

Last Christmas, Lizzie's family got a new puppy. Three months went by, they still hadn't named her. One day she climbed up onto the roof because she was following a dragonfly. It was zooming around. So she decided to try it too. Her family named her dragonfly. It was getting close to Christmas Eve, so Lizzie's parents decided to sign Dragonfly up for obedience class. Dragonfly was being bad and broke out of one school, then another. When Lizzie was asleep, her parents called the pound. The next morning they came and Lizzie was sad to see her dog go. A few days later, it was Christmas Eve. That night Lizzie was awakened by a familiar bark. "Dragonfly", Lizzie cried, " you are the best present of all!" The End
