Mrs. Garvin’s Class Poetry

Door

By Ava Tobin

Shiny gold handle

turn it to enter the world

Comes in all different colors

Some are shiny sleek wood

and some are fragile glass

Peek in

to see what’s happening

Buttered Pasta By Lilly

I love buttered pasta and it tastes so yummy

It goes in my mouth and then it goes in my

tummy

I love head bands that look nice on my head

One time I accidentally wore one to bed

I love to play with my friends and act very silly

I make them all laugh and my name is Lilly!!

May /June 2012 Kittens By Amelia Kisses you when you

pet them I’m in love with my kitten

They tackle the birds Tabby kittens are cute Easy to take care of

Never pull their tail or you’ll get scratched

Squirms out of your hands when you pick them up Kittens

If I were in charge of the world By Maeve V.

If I were in charge of the world I’d cancel zoos so animals could be free, monster legends, and death.

If I were in charge of the world there’d be more animals, nice, nice people and more broccoli.

If I were in charge of the world you wouldn’t have burglars or thieves, bullies or scary dogs.

If I were in charge of the world there’d be no more wars and

I’d still be in charge of the world. The Clock By Stephen

It ticks every minute and

coo-coos every hour

It’s 12 o’clock.

Some are new,

some are old,

Some work, some do not.

A short hand, a long, some-times a third hand.

It keeps you on track.

Tick Tock.

Sneakers By Cole

I could be squeaky, quiet, thumpy. I make you safe when you walk place to place.

Sometimes smelly, but always comfortable, With me you kick, hop, and bounce.

I have spikes, stripes and laces. You need me for races!

Spring is … By Maeve R. Warm and sunny Playing outside with my friends Riding bikes in the neighborhood Looking for and picking up worms Hearing birds tweeting in the yard Seeing a lot of people taking walks, sometimes with dogs Smelling the dirty ground Playing in the sprinkler on a hot, hot day Watching my brother play baseball games Swinging on the swing set at my house I love spring because I feel happy in my heart!

Hockey By Ben Hard but skillful

Outstanding what people can do

Can be dangerous

Katie loves it

Exciting moves

You should try it

HENRY AND RAMONA

By Libby and Caity B. Henry is good at his lines

Exciting show

Never be nervous on stage

Ramona squirts Henry and Bezzus in the face with a squirt gun

Yippy! The first show is today

Amber makes us be quiet

“Newspaper boys’ll give you good reads”

Dog steals papers in the show

Ramona is very funny

Ashley is great! She is a workshop leader

Murff is good at his lines

Opening night is tonight

Nathan plays Murff

Awesome show!

If I were in charge of the world

By Jack

If I were in charge of the world I’d cancel vegetables, prices in stores so everything is free, and death.

If I were in charge of the world there’d be super

heroes, it would rain money, and I’d be able to go to bed at 12:00 midnight.

If I were in charge of the world you wouldn’t have taxes or bills to pay, you wouldn’t be in trouble if you were bad, and you wouldn’t have annoying brothers and

sisters.

If I would be in charge of the world there would be no wars and I would still be in charge of the world.

Mint Chocolate Chip

Ice Cream

By Isabela

Happiness fills my heart

when I eat it

Smells like mint

Light green, gooey ice cream

with brown chocolate chunks

Cold and drippy on a hot

summer day

Gets sticky when it dries on

my hands

Cools me down but makes me shiver

Yummy! It’s my favorite!

Balls By Jamie

Fuzzy greenish tennis ball to hit

Hard and bouncy white lacrosse ball to catch

Black and white soccer ball to kick and score

Sometimes you can hear the wind blow next to your head

I see the shiny new baseball ready to be hit

There are lots of balls in the world

PLACENTINO By: Dakshata

Play outside on our great playgrounds

Lend a helping hand

An awesome place to be

Create something old into something new

Encouraging others

Nice friends

The teachers are so smart

I never want to have a day off

Nice Principals

One of the best places to be!

The Stapler

By Mrs. Garvin’s class

Shiny, black and sleek

Sharp pointy staples

Connect things together

Springy arm gets pulled back and a long row of silver skinny staples gets put in

Slide the crisp white paper in and push it down

Two sharp teeth grab it

Fun but dangerous

Spring is …… By Katie C.

Listening to birds chirping all day.

Seeing beautiful yellow flowers.

Playing outside in shorts and t-shirts.

Animals coming out of hibernation.

Decorating Easter eggs for Easter.

Starting my softball season.

Sleeping in on April vacation.

Seeing the gorgeous green grass.

The weather turning warmer.

Watching my cats trying to get birds. Stuffed Animal

By Madison Color like rough sand, Three little bunnies that are

so soft Smells like a cute baby.

I slept with them since I was a baby and still do.

They’re silly looking because they stare at people.

Ice Cream

By Meredith

I love sweet ice cream

Cherry fudge is yummy

Everybody likes ice cream

Creamy cold on a hot sunny day

Root beer floats are delicious

Eat it on a cone or in a cup

Awesome best ice cream ever

Mint ice cream is my favorite

If I was in Charge of the World By: Aidan

If I was in charge of the world, I’d cancel death, school and bedtime.

If I was in charge of the world there’d be raining money, dinosaurs and compost everywhere!

If I was in charge of the world, you wouldn’t have to go to College, go to the bathroom, and you wouldn’t

have a brother or a sister.

If I was in charge of the world, there would be PEACE everywhere!

Ice Cream

By Luke

Drippy, cold ice cream on a hot, hot

day,

It makes me shiver it is so tasty.

My favorite ice cream is Cherry Dip

Once I have one ice cream,

I want more and more and more.

When my dad has ice cream, he wants more

like me.

DADDY By Alexandra Collier Clarke

My daddy is very funny,

Has black hair with a touch of gray,

Irish accent,

He likes to snuggle on the couch,

Gives kisses in bed,

Hard worker,

Generous,

Nothing I don’t like about Mick.
