The Tree

The leaves rustling
Its huge masses of dark bark
creaking in the wind
it has a shade of gold around the trunk
that makes me feel happy and refreshed
as I wonder how it came,
the leaves go swoosh, swoosh, swoosh
and surround me with sound

The Holiday Animation

We made a holiday animation in computer. Our class used our imagination to create these little animations. First, we started by creating our animation ideas on a sheet of paper. Then, we drew each and every picture on the computer. That was the hardest task for me. I chose snowmen playing tennis because it represents how I like to play the sport. Enjoy!

Give Us Our Money

If there were no taxes, there would be no control.
It would be madness.
We need you to pay so we are charging.
If you don't like it, get off of our land.
We need more money this isn't fair.
We paid for the war so give us our share.

Give Us Our Money Reflection

Scott, Aaron, Kevin, Anna, and I made a rap about how the revolutionary war started. We learned about learned why the british and the colonists started fighting. The British wanted some taxes because they had paid for the war that the colonists fought. Yet, all the colonists did was create a massive boycott. It was very fun.

 

Tennis

Bright yellow fuzzy ball tossed into the blue sky
Begins the game of 4 players
Eyes and bodies moving around: where are the opponents? Where to place the ball?
Goes on the game with a ball shot over the net. Top spin shot from Herb in blue, poached with volley by Don in Orange. Great pick-up by Margri in navy, but killed with my overhead into the right corner!
Clapping of the audience brought us back to the real world. Sunny smiles on all the faces.
Another game starts with the little yellow ball in the blue sky...
