Language Arts: iN lANGUAGE i,mjjhhjll  

In Language Arts we are working on our book reports from our book club books. Also we just came back from our feild trip to Lake Pleasent Outdoor Center. We went on a night hike around the campsite, plus we did an amazing race were we had to solve riddles. Can you imagine having 5 classes in 1 day and spending the night in a dorm? Our Lake Pleasent field trip was the best field trip i've ever had ! Here is some of my poetry activities:

1: Bigger Than a Shark

By:Madison Miller

Bigger than a shark,

bigger than my dreams,

bigger than a park,

or darker than dark,

bigger than it seams,

bigger than beams,

or 10 larks,

bigger than a mark,

That's how big the monster under my bed is.

A Shark
