GgghostIn the darkness and silent cold night,

There lives a ghost that will give me quite some fright.

With its creepy sounds Whoosh-Whoosh

It will sweep right by me Swoosh-Swoosh.

GGGHOST CONT.

Dark shadows, evil eyes, and horrific hands.

It probably has some evil plans.

Sometimes I think , sometimes I know,

One day I’ll be a ghost exterminator pro.

GGGHOST CONT.

The ghosts come around every once in a while.

A lot of times they don’t make people smile.

The scary ghosts have different forms.

To not recognize them they can take the shape of a worm.

GGGHOST CONT.

With its shadowy body scaring kids.

It probably has ghost fits.

One day the ghost will be scared of me.

One day it will be frightened; you shall wait and see.

REBEKAH CHEUNG (3 R D GR. )

Basketball is Marvelous!Basketball is marvelous; I jump up to shoot

Other people on my team; got it in the hoop

My team and I had a lot of fun

After we got the ball in the hoop, we won

BASKETBALL IS MARVELOUS CONT.

In practice we play

To prepare for game day

Using an orange ball that is round

We pass, shoot, and rebound.

BASKETBALL IS MARVELOUS CONT.

When the game is to start

We are ready to play our part.

We dashed around fast

To get open for the pass

SCOTT GIN (5T H GR.)Sleeping

AHHHRelaxation, rest, sleep,

slumber, I love it

The day is goneLike a blink of an eye

The moon shining

As bright as firefliesThe comfy bedCrisp as paper

The soothing blankets and pillows

Like a massage

The stress gone

Like an eraser on a pencil mark

The pajamas soft

As a silky feather

The shadows

As thick as a blanket

SLEEPING CONT.

The cozy silence

Like a quiet breeze

The tick tock of me clock

Like soft raindrops

The dream begins
