My Day
When I wake up I remember I had a dream that my German shepherd mix with a husky. Had 7 puppies. When I wake up the first thing I think of is the beautiful puppies. When I wake up the first thing I do is brush my teeth. When I wake up the first thing I eat is frosted flakes. -Alexis
My Day

Color Poem
What is pink? Pink is a color. Pink is shoes. Pink is the room. Pink makes me happy. What is red? Red is hot. Red is a beautiful color. Red is a bad color. Red makes me unhappy. LIke Tyrell makes me unhappy. What is gold? Gold is Tyrell's Face. Gold is my favorite color. Gold is my hair. Gold makes me feel happy. I like it when the sun shines gold. -Zoe
My Day
I saw a monster that had stripes on it. I want to tho to the store and get a beyblabe. Put my clothes on. Eat is bacon and eggs and waffles. Achoo and cold and sometimes it's hot. A car that's called a lamborghini. Go to my class room and do my work. Recess and gym. Theiry, Pierce, Jermaine, Andrew, and Isaiah. My house with my family. Eat a burger and I go to sleep. A burger and french fries and the fires was big as a bus stop. Laugh and fall out the bed. -Unknown

My Day
I was on Cakeboss. I want to go back to sleep. Go back to sleep. Hot chocolate, that is warm and good. Chilly, like a fall day. 7:20 a.m. Sit down. Math because at the end of day. McKenzie, Mahogany, Kumba, Karrington, Victor, Ayana, because they are awesome. Go to after care and stare at the clock. Take off shoes. Dinner. Lay on couch. And relax like a fat bear. Dont like to clean. Get in the shower. Turn on T.V. I pray. If I dont pray I dont sleep well. I dream bout lots of things in future. -Mckenzie
The Ocean
I was sitting on a rock and my animals wanted to swim with me so we did. So we were swimming and saw a fish coming and she said that the mean evil octopus man had got one of my fish, so her mom said that she want her back. I took my shark, turtle, dolphin, walrus with me to safety. The little fish. So it was dark and I had light eye fish so we saw the fish in a cage and I said a fish should not be in a gage like that so me and my fish was making a plan so I said shark and dolphin, go after octopus man and walrus and turtle and me go get the fish. So octopus man had made water proof animals like a whale, marlin, crab. So told turtle and walrus to help shark and dolphin. So they did. So I got the little fish and I said go to your mother and I help shark, dolphin, turtle, walrus. Then we destroyed the whale, and the crab. SO we had to defeat the marlin. Then we did. So octopus man tried to get away. So I said what and then we put him in ocean jail. Then I go back to my rock. -Donavan
