THE PLACE I LIKE TO BE
I gingerly placed my foot in, not knowing what it would feel like. It was soothing, yet cold. I went deeper and farther. I was so very relaxed; the cold just seemed to have disappeared and warmth was spreading across me. The sun gleamed off of it and it made the whole sky sparkle. The waves rippled softly by me and walked quietly onto the shore. It was as clear as glass that had just been polished. I could see the bottom as if it were right in front of me. I took another step and the bottom was as soft as clouds; I had such a pleasant feeling as there was nothing at the bottom; not even a shell or rock. It was all so peaceful with the sun sparkling and the sand smooth and glowing, birds flying around but not making a sound. The beach was so beautiful. by Ruth Dorfman Grade6
SCHOOL DAY I come to school early in the morning, At 8:30 every day. When class starts I learn and listen And when the morning's done I play. Then classes begin again And then I start to ponder. But before you know it. School is done!
RACE FINALS
By Noah Cohen Grade 6B
She gasped and panted; only a few simple steps stood between her and the finish of the dog race finals. Sweat poured down her face and neck. Nothing could ruin this moment; nothing. She flew through the air like a bullet. Her soft brown fur was damp, her eyes deepened. She was lifting four paws of lead. She leapt into the air and collapsed; it was over. She had finished. The thin, pale brown Doberman drank, gasped and wheezed. Two arms came towards her and placed a gold medal around her neck. The race was over; the pressure gone. by Hilary Howes Grade6
