The second grade read the hilarious book The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt. The main character Duncan wanted to use his crayons to color, but when he opens his box of crayons, he finds only letters, all say the same thing: We quit! Your Crayons. Beige is tired of playing second fiddle to Brown. Blue needs a break from coloring all that water, while Pink just wants to be used. Green has no complaints, but Orange and Yellow are no longer speaking to each other.

Mrs. kraft’s second-grade class

Dear crayon,

We decided to write to our crayons……….before we found letters from our crayons!

Dear White Crayon, Sorry you feel blank. I will now use you on colorful paper. You’ll be so worn out. You will not be able to see over the box. I will draw flowers and dolphins and more. By the way are Orange and Yellow still fighting?

What do you do on the weekends? On Saturday I play soccer.

Dear Cerulean Crayon, I am so, so, so, so, sorry for overusing and mistakenly using you. I mean, you look so much like blue that I use you for something I wasn’t intending to use you for. I’ll give you and the other crayons a break for these last 15 days of school. I promise I won’t mistake you for blue next year, but I will use you. I promise your bottom will not be crooked.

Dear Green Crayon, I haven’t used you in a while so I’m sorry. I am also sorry that I broke you. I will try to glue you but I’m not sure if it will work. You are my favorite color to use because I use you a lot and because you remind me of nature.

For spring break, I went to Costa Rica. Sorry, I left you here too bad! I got to do all kinds of things but you only got to sit here and sleep! I actually like blue a little bit more than you but I still like you sorta. I used both of you to color pictures for Costa Rica and for summer break. I’ll try to take both you and blue with me to third grade.

Ramsey

Dear Pink Crayon, I am sorry that you’re second place to hot pink. Would you stop fighting! I am so annoyed when you fight. You are sisters so work it out!!

Back to you Pink. I enjoy drawing princess crowns, hearts, dresses, skirts, umbrellas and other stuff like that. I love you. But if you and Hot Pink keep fighting then things are going to get bad very, very bad.

Dear Blue Crayon, You and pink have to stop fighting or I will pull off your wrapping. Let’s get back to us.

My favorite stuff to draw with you are rivers because it is my middle name and so much more.

I have a little something to tell you do not want to be a kid or a dog. Dogs don’t live as long as you think. Kids play hard that’s just the boys. I love you.

Your User, Kenna O’Brian

Dear Blue Crayon, I know you are in a fight with Aqua. Do not tell Aqua, but you are my favorite color because I like darker colors and you are the color of a few of my friends’ eyes. You two should tell me when you work it out. Back to us…

I love you and you are my favorite color. I like to draw ice dragons and water dragons, ice, and water monsters.

Your Friend, Kenny Opfer

Dear Blue Crayon, Hello. I love using you for shirts, skirts, dresses, and skies. I hope you are not mad for being second place to aqua crayon. Blue crayon I heard you have a baby sister and a 3 year old sister. Your 1 month old sister is Sparkly Blue and your 3 year old sister is Periwinkle.

I love you and don’t fight anymore.

Mrs. mcnaughton’s third-grade class Third graders at Norfolk Collegiate complete a big Native American unit each year. The students are grouped into five tribes: the Cherokee, the Chinook, the Inuit, the Iroquois, and the Sioux, covering tribes that lived all over America. The children spend weeks reading and researching the culture and lifestyle of their tribe. They learn all about the shelter, food, clothing, jobs, special celebrations and ceremonies, and more. In addition to activities such as making totem poles in art, designing tribe t-shirts, and decorating large tribe murals, the students use this wealth of information to write and illustrate a tribe booklet. For this edition of Pencils and Crayons, each child has contributed one page of his or her booklet to form a collective tribe booklet for each of the five tribes.

I am a quiet person who hopes

I wonder if I will make it all the way to the MLB

I wonder how people make it through life

I hear voices talking to me when I’m down

I hear my mom’s voice

I see black shadows outside at night

I see a better future

I want to be in the MLB

I want my mom back

I am athletic and competitive

I am a quiet person who hopes

I pretend I’m in a war

I pretend I am magic

I feel like I’m the king of the world

I feel the touch of a mother

I touch the walls of my kingdom

I worry about my family

I worry I will not succeed in life

I cry about my mom’s death

I cry when I think about the death of my uncle

I am a quiet person who hopes

I am athletic and competitive

I understand what it is like to lose someone

I understand things quickly

I say she will come back

I say what is only true

I dream of the better life

I dream to succeed in life

I try to forget my mom’s death

I try my best at everything

I hope she will comeback

I hope to be in the MLB I am athletic and competitive.

I Am

by Abby McMonagle

by Ellie Robertson

I am the kind hearted and unique Abby

I am energetic and free-spirited

I wonder what life will be like in the future I hear clouds of happiness and peacefulness following me

I wonder if the whole world will ever be completely at peace

I see calmness and peace in fighting countries

I hear the song of a bird on a midsummer’s day

I want a better future for everyone struggling

I see bad times as good times with a small dent

I am the kind hearted and unique Abby

I want everyone to live their happily ever after

I pretend that bad things never happened

I am energetic and free-spirited

I feel that I can do anything when I succeed

I pretend like I am the only one in the world when I am angry

I touch the candy canes in a magical jungle in my dreams

I sometimes feel trapped and want to scream

I worry for those that are less fortunate

I touch gumdrop bushes in my sleep

I cry for the animals in trouble

I worry about less-fortunate people in our world

I am the kind hearted and unique Abby

I cry when people loose life

I understand that fairytales aren’t real

I am energetic and free-spirited

I say nothing when I am lost

I understand people when they are hurt

I dream that candy lands are real

I say that you should stay true to your heart

I try to touch the hearts of people

I try to be better than the person that I was yesterday

I hope to always stay true to myself

I hope that I can use my heart to help others

I am the kind hearted and unique Abby.

I Am

by Dylan Rowell

by Russell Solomon

I am talkative and creative

I am hard working and athletic

I wonder what I can destroy

I wonder if I will ever be important

I hear sounds of animals around me

I hear flying ponies

I see what I can make

I see unicorns

I want freedom

I want to be famous

I am talkative and creative

I am hard working and athletic

I pretend no one is listening

I pretend I have super powers

I feel contained

I feel that I will never die

I touch all animals

I touch 24 carrot gold houses

I worry about not being successful

I worry about my family

I cry when animals are neglected

I cry when people I know die

I am talkative and creative

I am hard working and athletic

I understand words

I understand life isn’t perfect

I say the economy is horrible

I say the world will end

I dream of equal opportunities for boys in school

I dream every thing is ok

I try to be successful

I try to do my best

I hope to fly

I hope to never give up

I am talkative and creative.

I Am

by Ella Smith

By Max Swartz

I am the amazing and magnificent Ellie!

I am a soccer player and a believer

I wonder about the questioned future

I wonder if I’ll go pro in soccer

I hear dragonflies at a nearby stream

I hear the fans cheering me on

I see bubblegum flavored clouds full of happiness

I see the stadium

I want to see the world smile someday

I want this to be reality

I am the amazing and magnificent Ellie!

I am a soccer player and a believer

I pretend I can fly in my dreams

I pretend to fly

I feel like a billionaire when I succeed

I feel the wind rushing past me

I touch the hearts of people I love

I touch a plane as I zoom by

I worry for those who are less fortunate

I worry that this will never happen

I cry for people who have been lost

I cry for my grandma’s mom back

I am the amazing and magnificent Ellie!

I am a soccer player and a believer

I understand things will not always go as planned

I understand some troubles of life

I say that one will always be loved

I say every little thing will be alright

I dream that someday I will make a difference in the world

I dream that this world will be in peace some day

I try to be the best person I can possibly be

I try to make this happen

I hope to one day travel through time

I hope I succeed, but there is to much hatred in the world

I am the amazing and magnificent Ellie!
