Poetry

Here is a poem about Coronavirus and the time that the world is in -- Ben R., 3rd grade

C...Coronavirus is not what we were wanting, 
O...of course it had to come!
V...very vicious, 
I...it’s not delicious but germs are on our thumbs! 
D...Diseases coming, one after the other,  
1...1 year of isolation,
9...9 more days until violation! (not true, hopefully…)

I hoped you liked my poem!
 

This is a poem about COVID-19 and being home by Lani H., 2nd grade.
 
School (Home) Life

On weekends, I’m usually 
Woken up by the firelight in my window
That changed
Since crowns
Started to become symbols of bad luck
 
I’m in love
I’ve set a goal
On shiny greatness incarnate
 
As for life, flesh, and blood
Our teams have gotten stronger
Sharing our experience kingdoms
And the teeth of the great golden
Were never dangerous to us

Awesome Art!

Penelope the Pickle: Part 2

By Ellie P., 3rd grade

Escape from the Factory 

It had only been a week since she became a pickle. By then she had learned to accept that she was a pickle. Her family was also very understanding. They also warned her about the danger of being a pickle. Someone might want to buy her. Penelope was scared, she did not want to be food. Then the bell on the door rang. A human came in and said, “Hello I would like a pickle please.” Please not me Penelope thought to herself. But her luck was not good today. She was picked up by the shopkeeper and put in a plastic bag. She wanted so much to be with her family, but she knew there was no use fighting. Penelope heard the sound of the car going. She started to cry. Everything had gone wrong since she rescued her family. Then suddenly the car halted. She was thrown to the other side of the bag.  

She was placed on a table in a house. She heard a baby crying. Penelope looked up. This was not going to be her last day. Then a voice scared her. He said, “Hello I want to go as much as you but this place is like a prison: no going out. My name is Kyle, Kyle Ketchup. What is your name?” “I am Penelope the Pickle and I will get you out of here. But I need your help. Here’s what we will do. Penelope whispered into Kyle’s ear. Penelope and Kyle teamed up. Penelope threw Kyle against the window and broke the glass. Together they ran for it… They had made it to the great beyond.
