Lost





I felt a crisp wind play with my hair. I lunged off the front step and plunged into the soft, white, blanket of snow. I sunk into the soft snow. I decided to venture off into the woods.  I hopped over the fence and made my way into the shadows. Pretty deep into the woods, I heard a low rumbling noise. I looked around, my dark, hazel eyes scanning the woods around me. I saw nothing. I heard it again. Suddenly I saw an almost pitch black shape spring out from some dead bushes. I shrieked in terror, and spotted glistening claws and the full height of the creature was humongous! Seeing huge, frightening teeth and a drooling mouth, I ran for my life. I dodged trees and bushes. I ran so fast I thought I was on fire! When I squinted into the distance, I saw light burst through the dark, shadowed forest. I felt the beast’s hot breath on my neck as I burst out into the clearing. Before I examined the place around me, I knew I had to go back, but for now, I knew I was safe. For now……..

1st Dance Competition!

I was so excited and nervous at the same time. I was about to be on stage at my first dance competition! What was going to happen? All I knew is that I was going to try my best! No matter what the score was I was going to get out there and show my talent! The music was loud and our bodies were flowing, we were on stage dancing, actually dancing and it felt great when I got out there. The audience cheered as we were leaving the stage. Once my group got off the stage we raced to the dressing room to celebrate and get changed for next dance. We were done with our dancing in a blink of an eye and it was soon time for awards. I walked quietly onstage and as we sat down they started to announce the awards.  Finally they announced the small groups! This was our big chance! (The awards were bronze, high bronze, silver, high silver, gold, high gold, and platinum). Then they announced “The Tigers,” which was a group of 5 year olds. They won because the judges thought they were so cute. It was the worst!

Snow Storm


The deer was alone,
The storm was powerful
By the snow falling out of the sky
As the deer looked for safety
The deer found the cave
So he rushed in there until the storm came close

The deer finally made it safe

Creating new wonders
Racing around the paper
Entertaining your paper
Another one to hang on the wall
Talented supplies
Independent color
Vibrant colors
Extravagant art

Hatching

Egg
Sitting still,
while I wait nearby.  Mother, nestles its
baby, not yet born
still to come
to the
world.
As we wait
it moves
it shakes.  The air is still as if it’s
holding its
breath.
Crack!
The baby has
come.
Welcome to

the world.

NAME TAG

It has no game
But it holds your name
So it's not to blame
So treat it like it has a lot of fame!

Me and the Dog

For the wag of a tail,
And a bark of hello,
To no other friend would I ever go.
To lick away tears and take away fears.
We shall be best friends forever and ever.

Soccer

Scored on goal
Over lapping
Cleats sharp as ever
Chanting crowd 
Exciting sport to play
Running for the ball


Andrew C. 4W

Lightning

Fast beams of light shooting through the air
Sharp as a needle it lights up the sky
Taking out anything in its path
It’s hot as lava, it strikes fast
So you better watch out where you step
Or otherwise you might be next!

Household

There’s a little puppy on the couch, there’s an 18 year old being a grouch. The baby is crying, the mischievous toddler is lying. But, nobody knows that the cat is spying!
