The Dog that was Lost by Devin
One time there was a dog that had no home so I took the dog to my house. I asked my mom if I could keep it and she said yes. She said it needed a bath and I agreed with her. When I asked my dad he said no. So dad and I took it to the forest but it came back to my house. I asked my dad if I could keep it one more time. He said yes, and I said thank you dad.
So I kept the dog and gave him some dog food and water. Finally, I built a gate in my back yard by myself and the dog loved it.
Lavonda
I think I can…
I know I can…
But what can I be…
Teacher or vet, mayor or doctor.
I’ll be a teacher.
I think I can do it.
What will I need?
I’ll need a GED & degree.
But maybe I can’t.
Oh yes I can do it.
With my own classroom.
My own class.
My own board & markers.
My classroom will have a blue wall.
The chairs will be soft.
I’ll have lots of books.
I think I can.
I know I can.
Gymnastics Teacher by Destiny
Still waiting to get my chance to be it,
Waiting for my students to come.
They are going to do splits, back bends,
Handstands, stick walk, & back flips.
I hope most of them already know
How to do most of the stuff, or it
will be a disaster. I’m shaking in
the inside; I’m so nervous, I hope they signed
a form so I won’t be responsible if they break something.
Here they come. I’m going to faint, there are its so many of them. I
don’t know what to do. What should I tell them to do?
I’ll watch and see what they already know. I’ll be so lucky if they already
know how to do all that stuff. Woo o yeah!
Bike Rider by Maalik
One day my dad took me outside. He brought my bike and he told me, “You are going to ride a bike.” I felt very happy as I told myself, I think I can I think I can. I got on the bike he gave me a push. Then I was riding my bike!
He put a down a ramp and told me to jump the ramp. I told myself again, I think I can I think I can. I started going and I felt happy. Then I did it. I went very high in the air and I landed! That time was the time I learned how to ride a bike.

The Haunted Ghost by Shadaye
One day on Halloween a girl named Rebecca went to a haunted house. It was close to eleven. She went in thinking someone was there. There was. Many people backed away from the house. Rebecca looked out the window and when she turned around she saw a very, very bright glow.
That night the moon was full. People screamed when they saw something peeking through the broken window. “What was that?” said Rebecca. She opened the door on the right; nothing was there. She opened the door to the left and she saw the carvings of a pumpkin. She went into the kitchen and the doors slammed shut. She jinxed herself by thinking she wasn’t going to scream. She did.
She was wondering what was that sound she heard. The sound went like this—booooo. She froze as frozen as she could be. She screamed once again. She got taken away and never ever came back!

Happy New Year's! Do you have a resolution?
My resolution is reading. I will read 45 minutes a day. That is how I will get better. I really want to read better. I will read hard words everyday. I will ask people to help me with my reading. Keyshun
My resolution is keeping my room clean. My room is where I sleep. If my room is dirty I can’t sleep in there. I need to keep my room clean. Sometimes my brother will help me. When it’s clean I can find things better. Maalik
My resolution is being as smart as a 4th grader. The reason why is so that when I get to 4th grade I will know a lot and be ready to go to 5th grade. To do that I will have to study hard. My teacher can help with that. I can do it. Lavonda
My resolution is paying attention. I will listen to my teacher when she is talking. I will not put my fingers in my mouth. I will not fall asleep in class. That is how I will pay attention. Destiny

Beast at Night by Joseph
He scares people.
He comes out at night
From his cave,
Black with sharp things
On the ground and ceiling.
If somebody walks by
He hides then
Comes out and scares them.
His black grizzly fur
Covers his body.
His claws are big and
Long and sharp.
He can scratch you
And you will bleed
Don’t mess with the
Beast at night!
Haunted House Poem by Breanna
It was a dark night
The sun was down
And I was alone riding my
Bike and suddenly
I came to a house
And the gate creep opened
I went in the
Gate and I went
To the door and
Some weird man came
Out and grabbed
Me and he put
Me a sleep and
I woke up and
I was in a dark
Room then I found
My way out
Do not go to the
Haunted house!
Haunted Halloween by Destiny
Halloween was scary,
He was very hairy.
My candy bag was filled,
I hope I don’t get killed.
Spiders crawled down my back,
All the way down my back.
A skeleton was walking behind me
But it wasn’t really anybody.
I said, “Trick or treat, smell
My feet, Give me something good
To eat. If you don’t, I don’t care I
Will pull on your underwear.”
The Haunted House on the Dead End by Lavonda
There is a house.
This house is on a dead end.
It is supposed to haunted.
Bats fly all around it.
Noises come from the house.
I went to the house.
On Halloween night, scared as can be.
I pull up my sleeves, I saw goosebumps.
Bam! Thunder struck. I fell on the ground.
Then I saw something run in front of me.
It looks like a shadow.
Then the gate opened and crept open.
I walked up the steps.
The door opened making a bad sound.
I walked in.
There were voices telling me to leave.
Black cats ran by.
Then I saw skeletons, werewolves, witches,
Ghosts and goblins.
I screamed and ran.
I fell and scraped my knee.
I climbed the ladder.
I saw an old dusty fireplace.
I jumped out the window.
Then I landed on my feet.
I ran out of the gate
And never went back.
When I got home
I was missing a piece of my clothes.
No one ever went back again.

The Shade by Latavia
Creeping, creeping, down the stairs. I heard somebody screaming. I hollered then I ran back to my room. I got under my covers then I peeked out and I saw somebody run across my room. I got back up then I walked and walked. My bathroom light was on then somebody was behind me. It was really dark so I went to my brother’s room. He was not there so I turned on the light but it did not work. I felt something on my feet then…then… I bumped into my brother. I asked, “What are you doing?” and went back to bed. The next morning I ate then went to school but I kept thinking that I really saw something. That night at bedtime I got into bed and finally knew that it felt all right to sleep.
He scares people.
He comes out at night
From his cave,
Black with sharp things
On the ground and ceiling.
If somebody walks by
He hides then
Comes out and scares them.
His black grizzly fur
Covers his body.
His claws are big and
Long and sharp.
He can scratch you
And you will bleed
Don’t mess with the
Beast at night!

They had to feel all around to get out. All of my cousins got scared and started to cry. They had to hold on to the grown ups. There was blood all over the place and my cousin’s side was covered in bones and cobwebs. A person jumped out and said BOO!

Every night he heard something in his kitchen cooking something on the stove. When he walked in the kitchen he saw something moving in the kitchen. There were some people beside him and some people in front of him. Then the door creaked and he saw something move behind the tree. It went behind something. He was dripping blood. When he went back in the house there were zombies everywhere who almost ate his brain, almost sucked his blooD!

A man came down the hall. When it was nighttime they stayed in the house to eat dinner and then they decided to stay there. When they went to sleep they heard noises. In the middle of the night, one of the boys got up and went into the attic. When he got there he saw a ghost and then he started to scream. His parents were too late because the ghost had already killed him. But his dad realized that a ghost can’t kill anyone. When he looked up the ghost was gone with the boy. His dad went downstairs and noticed the boy was not dead. Suddenly it was daytime and the ghost started melting away. Finally it died.

The Shade by Latavia
Creeping, creeping, down the stairs. I heard somebody screaming. I hollered then I ran back to my room. I got under my covers then I peeked out and I saw somebody run across my room. I got back up then I walked and walked. My bathroom light was on then somebody was behind me. It was really dark so I went to my brother’s room. He was not there so I turned on the light but it did not work. I felt something on my feet then…then… I bumped into my brother. I asked, “What are you doing?” and went back to bed. The next morning I ate then went to school but I kept thinking that I really saw something. That night at bedtime I got into bed and finally knew that it felt all right to sleep.
Mrs. Moore's class loves special things, just like Eloise Greenfield in Honey, I Love.
