The Joys of Winter Winter is white, green, brown, tan, and silver White is the sight of a bunch of snowmen Green is the feeling of a bunch of snowballs Brown is the smell of hot chocolate Tan is the taste of chocolate chip cookies Silver is the sound of Jingling bells Winter is white, green, brown, tan, and silver Justin Porter 4th Grade, Mason Elementary

The Colors of Winter Winter is brown, white, red, peach, and grey Brown is the sight of steam coming from my cocoa. White is the feeling cold snow giving frost bite to my fingers. Red is the smell of steamy smoky fire making me warm. Peach is the taste of the warm and cozy cookies watering my mouth Grey is the sound of crystal kales dripping from my spouting. Winter is brown, white, red, peach, and grey Ben Oliver 4th Grade, Mason Elementary
