Good Manners by Ciara Li
Good Manners don’t act rudely.
Eat with a fork.
Don’t be a dork
change your clothing.
do your homework.
Do not act dumb.
say, “Thank you.”
say, “Please.”
Say, “I’m sorry.”
It’s never better to tease.
You remember
To do what I say,
You’ll have friends
When you call them to play with you!
Why I Want to Be a Pilot by Anthony Law
I want to be a pilot,
Because I love to fly.
I once went to a flight simulator
at an amusement park.
It had lots of decimals and numbers
and buttons all over the place.
I took a simulated flight from Peru to France,
and it was just five or six minutes in the simulator,
because a real flight would take HOURS
and it projected the sky,
blue and yellowish.
To become a pilot,
learn to steer
very complicated
Use the lever,
power the engines.
Turn off the brakes,
Move the plane.
Taxiing.
Use the pedal
Use the column.
Push it downwards,
pull it upwards.
Use the Rudder
left or right
engage the Ailerons,
tilt the plane.
Flying is like…
Rushing through the clouds,
Gliding merrily like a bird,
Like lying on a platform that’s rushing through the air,
You feel like you’re dreaming
Fluffy clouds are like cars making way before you
like you’re driving an Ambulance.
The sun shines in your face, the sun’s so bright.
The birds chirping and flying is a wonderful sight.
Dear Tea Party by Renee Wu
Sweet candy on your plate,
Drinking your tea, with
The slightly bitter taste
My imaginary friends
And my real friends, looking
At me slightly pitifully
Because of the incident
That happened when I was six.
The time I had dinner
With my family and got thirsty
I looked at a very fancy teacup
It was like heaven, but
It turned out to have a very
Bitter taste, but not so bitter
Anymore.
Sweet candy on your plate,
Drinking your tea, with
The slightly bitter taste
Hiccups by Emma Shen
Water, water, water, water
Someone give me a scare
Hic, hic, hic
It is so not fair
One night, two night, three nights
Is it even going to stop?
Hic, hic, hic
My eyes are going to pop!
Never Give Up by Desmond Li
On Sunday
I went to my friend’s birthday party at Clip and Climb.
I was so scared I couldn't do at least one of them!
Clip and Climb looks like a huge box
with different climbs on one side and another.
When we got there I saw my friends and classmates.
I was really nervous about which one to start with.
The Skyscraper was really colorful because at night
you can see people still working
with the lights on.
On the wall you can see led lights on the wall
so there were different colors everywhere.
On the Cheese
there were holes like cheese
and they had different vibrant colors.
I tried starting with a medium level one
it was called dots and stripes.
I hooked my harness in and started climbing.
It was a bit hard because
my legs couldn’t stretch to the other ledge.
I decided to do a different one.
I chose to do an easy one.
It looked like a pole
and it had footsteps in the middle and ledges on the side.
I was a bit confused about how to do it,
then one of the helpers gave me a tip,
he said to put your hands on the side
while climbing up with your feet.
I followed his steps
and I tried
and I did it !!:)
