How Sweet it is! Babysitting Babysitting is fun The kids like to run The 5-year-olds are tough Because they are always rough And when I make a meal They always steal Each other’s food all day. And when it’s time for a bath They always splash And when it’s time to go to bed They have me read a bedtime story instead. And at the end we all go to bed.

Gymnastics I fly through the air like a bird. I stretch like a rubber band. I tuck then I stretch as I reach the land. I mount then I bounce on to a four inch beam. I do some more tricks as the judge picks on if my toes are pointed or not. I really like gymnastics a lot! Katey Koehl Grade 4, Lake Elementary
