America
by Alyssa - 4th Grade

I'm proud of who I come to be

and even where I stand

freedoms great not just to me

to everyone it's grand.

Red, white and blue is what we love

fighting leads to joy and freedom

the symbol comes from a dove

God will always lead 'em.

Eagles sore across our nations

heading coast to coast

other places have no patience

that's why I love America the most.

My Little Turtle

by Chris  - 5th Grade

I woke up right after dawn

I sat up in my bed and let out a yawn.

I looked at the turtle shell at the side of my bed

then all of a sudden out popped his head.

He looked at me then stuck out his chin

at that moment I made a little grin.

with my turtle I flew down the stairs

I saw my little sister watching Care Bears.

Then I eat breakfast and run outside

with my little turtle and I we went down the slide

oh what fun we had my turtle and I

I have to be honest I can't tell a lie.

We went to the swings and then to the park

when we finally arrived all the dogs started to bark.

When we were done we ran straight to our house

we walked to our room and turned off the light

I put my turtle down and said goodnight

We had lots of fun today that's not a lie

with my great friend my turtle and I.

America

by Abbi - 5th Grade

My country is a special thing to me

especially, from every single tree

with every tiny grain of soil

there is nothing you can foil.

With the lake of Minnesota, galore

to the Great Plain, I know what this is for

looking at a purple majesty

I realize I take pride in my country.

To the hills of Tennessee

this is all special to me

the Great Lakes fill me with pride

so there is nothing I can hide.

Standing next to the Grand Mississippi River

it makes my lips quiver.

The Star-Spangled banner waves in front of my face

I stand up and show my pride to the whole human race.

The Rocky Mountains stand up, oh so tall

it makes me feel like I shine over them all.

This doesn't show my feelings. It doesn't show my mind.

This shows my America, and what my heart still has to find.

Lost Lama

by Luren - 6th Grade

My lama was lost

it was a great cost

I did everything I could

but he was caught in a pile of wood.

I tried and tried

but then I cried

I did everything I could

but he was still in the wood.

He was kicking around

then dropped a mound

he's out he's out! I cried.

then he had a heart attack and died.

He haunts the place now

he want to mow

but I tell him no

while playing with my yo-yo.

Champion

by Dane - 7th Grade

What is a champion

is it someone that does their best

some don't really know

but I think they're just like the rest.

Being a champion is priceless

that is so in some people's mind

but I think you can become a champion

from being one-of-a-kind.

Everyone wants to become a champion

they think its someone's most
but if you are a champion

don't go ahead and boast.

Many people are champions

some may not be

just remember when you want to become a champion

just say to be me.

You can become a champion

it doesn't matter what other people think of

just keep being yourself

and be as free as a dove.
