I Love Learning

I love learning
so many things.
I do not know all things
but I know God
will be there for me.
Ms. Collier is the best teacher.
Teachers have to learn so they
can teach us the things
we do not know.
I want to go to college
and I cannot wait
much longer for you.

Mrs. Collier’s Weekend

Mrs. Collier is my favorite teacher.
She watches the features of bobcats.
When I see Mrs. Collier it makes my mind blow
As if I’m in a glow.
2 cats were on Mrs. Collier’s bed
1 jumped up and grabbed a bat.
Mrs. Collier says fern before she gets to learn.
She met a boy named Mac
But it was really one of her cats.
Mrs. Collier threw one of her cats.
Then she screamed a rat!
She picked up the bat and started hitting the rat.
Mrs. Collier went home.
Mrs. Collier was all alone.
Mrs. Collier saw the Cat in the Hat.
She grabbed a mat and
hit the Cat in the Hat.

The Honey Treat Teacher

Mrs. Hartley you are very nice
Likes my cousin who never lies.
She always tells me that you are very sweet
Like a honey treat.
She told me that she never had
A teacher like a honey treat.
She said she is very nice
Because she never lies
And that is why she is sweet
Like a honey treat.

The Best Teacher in This School Ms. Collier

You’re the best
teacher in this school.
You help us learn math
and letters that
helps us get better.
You help us get together,

the sun, the clouds.
We know what that’s about.
You do stuff for us.

Ms. Collier

When Ms. Collier is nice she gives us stuff,
She’s so nice that she throws us parties.
When she doesn’t see us walk in she knows we’re tardy.
When she’s nice she lets us get in a team
But when she hollers we know she’s gonna be mean.

The Boy Who Loved Winter

Once upon a time, there was a boy named Joshua. He loved snowflakes and to make snowmen. He could make very beautiful snow angels in the snow. He was also the snowball champion on his block.

Joshua adored winter so much. On year, winter didn't come. He gathered all his friends and told them, "We are going to invent winter." So the next day, he started gathering tools, a lot of icicles and gallons of water. He told his friends to throw the water in the air. After that attempt didn't work, he thought of taking snow from the mountains. Joshua and his friends traveled up the mountain and tried to reach the top to get snow but couldn't. It was too high.

Joshua wasn't giving up that easy. He tried dozens of plans and ideas, but none were successful. After all those failed attempts he still had one more tick up his sleeve.

He was going to build a snow machine that would make it snow every day. He worked day and night until his parents called him in for dinner. His dad asked him what he had been doing outside all day. He said "trying to make winter."

His mom and dad told him that he couldn't make winter. He thought about his winter snow machine and said to himself maybe it will never work.

His mom said, "Snow comes from the beautiful sky and from God."

His mom told him the story of winter. She talked about the spirits and all he had to do was be patient and it would come.

Joshua went to sleep and when he woke up, it was beautiful snow outside. He grabbed his coat and played in the beautiful snow, happier than ever.

Missing Biscuits

Once in a sleepy old cabin lived a family of bears. It was cold outside but the bears didn't mind. Inside it was nice and cozy, with a warm fire, nice seats, and plenty of biscuits and tea. Nobody wanted to leave.

The, the light went out. When they went back on, the biscuits were gone so Papa Bear called Detective Bear. "Hello, Detective Bear," he said, "My biscuits are missing. Come immediately."

When he arrived, he brought two more sleuths. They asked questions. "What happened? Did you see it? What's stolen?"

The sleuths looked for clues. The found these: foot prints, crumbs, broken cups, hair, and spilled tea."
