Friday Poem of the Week!

Today's Friday Poem of the Week is titled "What is Love?" by the Bailey Gatzert Elementary Girls Team! Way to go Gatzert!

What is Love?
by: Bailey Gatzert Elementary Girls

Love smells like a warm strawberry pie
Love tastes like sweet milk chocolate
Love feels like my mother’s good night kiss
Love is like a seed
You can’t force it to grow

I wonder, What is Love?
I ask, What is Love?

Love looks like the warm sun shining on me
Love tastes like zingy tomatoes
Love sounds like flower petals falling
Love looks like teammates working together

I wonder, What is Love?
I ask, What is Love?

Love feels like a soft furry blanket
Love looks like red hearts
Love seems like a brand new day
Love smells like red roses
Love tastes like fresh cherries falling from my tree

I wonder, What is Love?
I ask, What is Love?

Friday Poem of the Week!

Today's Friday Poem of the week is titled "Love It, Share It, Hear It" by the Dunlap Elementary Girls team. Awesome poem girls!

"Love It, Share It, Hear It"

by: Dunlap Elementary Girls


Ruth, Mynisha, Fahima, and Diana
We’ll be here
To do the job
And play the game
If we’re gone
It won’t be a threat
We’ll come back the next day
And do the bet
It will be fun
As long as we’re here
To play the game
And do the cheer
Commitment’s the word
That we like to hear
When we play the game
It’s fun when we’re all here

SCORES we love it
SCORES we share it
Go SCORES, let’s hear it!

Jala, Hanni, So’onafai, Rohey
We will lead our team to victory
And we will lead our team to glory
That’s just part of our amazing story

SCORES we love it
SCORES we share it
Go SCORES, let’s hear it!


Even if we didn’t get to play
I would only have nice things to say
Without opponents it wouldn’t be the same
If we win we say “good game”
Sierra, Ebany, Sharlayna, and Yen
Girls Scores Team 2010
Winning doesn’t matter
When we all have fun together
Sportsmanship is what we wrote about
When our team scores a goal
We all SHOUT

SCORES we love it
SCORES we share it
Go SCORES, let’s hear it!


We kick the ball
Leslie Kay, Malaya
We score a goal
Amanda and Serena
We scream and shout
That’s what SCORES is all about
We like to play
And we always have an awesome day

Friday Poem of the Week!

Today's Friday Poem of the Week is titled "Everything in My Mind" by Shuun M. of Highland Park Elementary! Great job Shuun!


Everything In My Mind
by: Shuun M. of Highland Park Elementary


I have a feeling in me.
That loves everything except some stuff.
That cannot hide many feelings.
That is if I am strong.
That is what I have.

I have a brain in me.
That wants money.
That needs video games in it.
That has learning in it.

I have a secret game in me.
That has mazes in it.
And the mazes take me to new adventures.
And its like each dead end is a door for new opportunities.
