Lock Down Drill - On Wednesday, October 30, at 9:30 AM, we will participate in a practice lock down drill. This is only a drill and we will start talking to students about it tomorrow. Officer Shane Coyle, our school resource officer will be there to assist. Students will be told this is only practice and that our school is safe. We will explain what to do if there was ever a serious emergency while emphasizing that is not likely to happen. Please talk to your children about this drill. The students will know it is coming and stay in their classrooms until we unlock their doors. The drill takes about 20 minutes. Contact Ms. Phillips if you have any questions.

Fall
Leaves falling
Wind blowing
Black cats meowing
Apple picking
Football kicking
Candy licking
Children tricking
Boo!
2nd Grade Poem

My Home Run!
Playing baseball can be tough
The sand is very rough
I hit with a bat in my hand
Where will the ball land?
There is a cheering crowd
They are getting very loud
I hit and then I run
That part is very fun
I tag all of the bases
I see some familiar faces
I slide at home in the dirt
I am safe and not hurt.
3rd Grade Poem
By Lucy Wood
Flamingos are Cool
Flamingos are a type of bird
They live in waters and they do submerge.
They live in high plateau, cold desert and lakes
I really hope they don’t see snakes!
This is why flamingos are pink.
They eat shrimp and I think shrimps wink
I really like flamingos, I do
How about you?

Autumn
Autumn is here
The leaves are falling and change colors
And winter is waiting for its time
4th Grade Poem
By Emma Lare
Poems are Like You
I am creative
I am smart
You are the same
Just as much.
4th Grade Poem

A Day in a Park (4th grade)
A day in the park
Makes it fun for the day
You walk along for fun all the way
You see the lights and like it
You sing lyrics and hide it
You play and dance in the park and stop hiding secrets
You like and laugh and turn around
And when you finish you run around and play
Then you go get ice cream and be done the rest of the way
A day in the park is good for the day
You laugh and learn and then you go
That's what a day in the park is like.
5th Grade Poem
By Scarlett Mahoney
Chicken Livers for Dinner
“Try these,” said mom, handing me a plate.
“I’m sure they are something you will not hate”.
She said, "They are delicious and quite nutritious”.
“What are they?” I cried.
They are something I never tried.
Tiny, slime, small, and brown.
No way they are going down!!
Except…. to the floor
For the dogs who want more!!
5th Grade Poem

Nature (Haiku)
Leaves crunching
Absolute silence
Mountain breeze
