A girl is a princess

Each girl is a princess
when she takes her throne
To be a proper one, She
needs her crown with
elegant dress.
With her HUGE castle
to make a feast
inside her dining room
with her beautiful room decor
and wall paper that
is gold...Beautiful gold.
and her bed with a warm
cover painted with dolphins
and her huge closet to
keep all her clothes inside
If you want to be a
princess, all you have
to do is believe in
the
magic

Where Im from Draft1

Please comment!!!!:) Its my first draft:]

I am from a sandy shore
Where I can swim alone
where there are no doors
and where you cant make a clone
It is a tropical place
Its also underwater
Where nothing can be erased
And you can swim with otters.

Note:Im not done But I need comments!!!

Thank You poem - Sliding down the Slides

Hi everyone this is my thank you poem for my mom. It isn't excactly a "thank you" poem it's more like something that is important to me. Please comment!

Sliding Down the Slides

When I was
1 and a ½
years old

you used to take me to the playground

I
of course
don’t remember these
memories

but from you telling me

I can even
picture
the stuff that we did there
at the playground
in my head

we had so much fun
together

you chasing me
me running away
and laughing

sliding down slides
me
first afraid


but after getting used to them
sliding down all the time
with a smile on my face

in the sandbox
according to me
I “wasn’t allowed” to
get dirty

and if I would
get dirty
I would get out and rub off
every single grain of sand or dirt
that was on my foot


sometimes
I remember
all of these things
that we did
at the park

they always put a smile on my face

just wanted to tell you
that when these things come to my head
I remember

that you were there
at the park
with me

every time

6B homework!

Mr G. (Mrs Hubbard)'s Math: adding and subtracting decimals and frame game. Both are due tomorrow

Thanks and more...

Dear students and parents of grade six,

Thank you for all of the cards, gifts and good-wishes for term one and for our upcoming trip to Israel. Thank you also for an outstanding first term. Your dedication, work and growth is inspirational, and I look forward to continuing our journey together in January.

Over the break:

1. Keep reading and writing
2. Prepare your chosen work for our book binding in January
3. Start thinking about and preparing for the "Kids Write" program (ask Marc Levin if you have any questions about this), and for the JCC speech competition. These are both optional, but very worthy activities that I strongly encourage you to participate in.


Please keep in touch with each other and with me through this Blog. Your words of encouragement on each others' writing has been wonderful.

You can also check out what Mr. Cohen and I are up to through our P2K Blog which I've linked on the right hand side of the page. We will be updating our activities with the students of Alei Givah (our sister school in Israel) on a daily basis, and would love to hear from you.

I'll make sure to place each of your notes in the Western Wall when I get to Jerusalem.

Looking forward to seeing you in 2008!

-Mr. G.

Morning, Agust 8th, 2007 (final draft)

Hey guys this is miy final draft of my thank-you poem so i hope you like it!


At 9:07 you call my name
Because you know I’ll want pancakes
For an early morning start
Even though I’m still in bed

At 9:32 you’ve taken out the trash
Fed Freddy put in a load of laundry
And I’m still in bed
Too tired to get up

By 9:45 you’ve got me out of bed and dressed
So we can have some bonding time
While we make pancakes together
You are always so thoughtful

At 10:26 you go to the garden
To pick some fruit and veggies
You ask me to help
I say yes immediately and bring the baskets

At 11:00 we’ve picked four baskets of fruits and veggies
I start wrapping them up to go
Down to the fridge for the winter to come
Even though I’m working I’m still glad to be with you

By 11:19 I’ve made some lemonade
For the two of us
I asked you if I could go sell it
But you said Sam and I should sell jam instead

At 11:33 you’ve helped us pack up
And now we’re off
But I want to stay
And help you instead

At 12:00 it’s time for a grilled cheese please with extra cheese
We sit down together and look at each other
Then we burst out in laughter
For no good reason

By 3:30 our hard work is done
And it’s time to have some fun
You start getting mancala while I get some drinks
After we finish setting up
I realize there’s something missing
So I lean over the board
And give you a great big hug
And whisper “thanks”

Thx Fanny (feel free to give advice)

Grandpa...

Hey guys

I put my (secret) poem up so if you have any thing to say about it please comment.
P.S. my grandpa always made me jump for the amount of years old I was.


Grandpa... By Micah Berlow

A Jump for wit
which he had a lot of

A Jump for joy
which he had more of

A Jump for love
which he had the most of

A Jump for the hospitals
which took care of him

A Jump for the man in the moon
that says hello once in a while

A Jump for China
his birth place

A Jump for Vancouver
his death bed

A Jump for books
one of which he wrote

A Jump for the Italian La Scala Opera
which he went to

A Jump for chess
which he played a lot of

A Jump for creatures
great and small

A Jump for tears
which I shed

A Jump for hope
that he is doing well

A Jump for change
from having a grandpa to not

A Jump for a small jade tie clip
from a will

A Jump for angels
which I know he joined

A Jump for death


A Jump for him

Thank You poem

I am sharing my thank you poem with you. It is an elegy to my Grammy.

Those Friday Afternoons

Those Friday afternoons
After school
Every week
I miss you

I miss the Granville island trips to the market to buy some fresh wild salmon for dinner
I miss the buttery smell of eggies on toast
I miss you

I miss the sweet aroma of when you bake a honey cake for desert
I miss the long seaside walks
I miss you

I remember
That night
That dew on the window type of February night
I saw you in your room

For the last time

I miss the Granville island trips,
And the eggies on toast,
And the sweet aroma of when you bake a honey cake,
And the long seaside walks but
More than anything else

I miss you

-Bram

p.s.: You may not see any line breaks, but there was some. I think it has something to do with the computer.

Pay it Forward Poem Response

Pay it Forward Poem Response


I decided to write my Pay it Forward poem on my Mom. I chose my Mom because as I said in my poem, she always tries her hardest to please me, and to make me happy.

I find this is one of the best qualities a person can have. Doing things for other people even if it means sacrificing your time from your day.

In my poem, I have one vignette. It is a memory from when me and my mom were on tour. It was 12:30 in the morning and we were kept up by the people in the next motel room. My mom phoned up the guy at the front desk, and asked him if we could switch rooms. The reason she told the man, was that her son needed sleep for the next day. I felt special when she said, “My son” rather than I need sleep. She could have stayed up for another few hours but she changed rooms for me. This is another example of why I chose my Mom to do this poem on. She loves me and I love her.

I also write, “You are my guardian angel.” this is a metaphor I use to show what I think about her, and that I compare her to an angel.

In some of my stanza’s I use the words you, and I. When I do, I put each one on a different line to express the poem is about her and from me, also to show the importance of her and I.

I describe her skin as being worm, soft, loving and when my skin touches hers my heart lights up. This is how I really feel. I get a special feeling when I get close to her that I only experience around her. A feeling of comfort and safety.

Later I explain that I love riding with her and car ride with her are fun. If we are in a long car ride I can see that she tries her hardest to make it fun and enjoyable. From games to simply talking.

Near the end of my poem I used a very famous expression to explain why I wrote the poem, “ What goes around, comes around, you have given me my whole life, and now I think it’s my turn to give to you.” It is true. She has always given me clothes, there is always food on the table, and she has always protected me. So this poem was like payback (in a good way). She now deserves to be given. This is my main reason for writing this poem.

I feel honored to be able to give her something for a change.

Thanks,
Marc L.

Zaida

Hey guys heres my poem for my granfather(zaida) plz tell me if u like it.

You are always a treat when you come to visit

the smell of your porridge in the morning makes my mouth water

You are always always giving me things like 6 dollars every Sunday

You teach me important life lessons that I'll never forget

You teach me so many words like hygienic and cooper

You educate me with your facsinating stories on the Holocaust

You make sure I'm doing my job of putting away the cutlery

You praise me and make me feel confident

You support me in my passion of playing soccer

You might sometimes thing i take you for granted

But i want you to know that I'll always aprreciate what you've done for me
