BEHOLD MY POEM!!

Farris wheel rider
Drinking apple cider
Winning spotless prizes
Many colorful surprises

See the acrobats preform
Watch the cotton candy form.
Play the ball toss
Devour nachos with sauce

Have your fortune told
The sodas are ice cold
Ride the roller coasters
Buy some memorable posters

Come one
Come all
To the Carnival

berrysweetπ said...

Mr.Buxton, if a GATE kid has set up an account on ixl with you, they won't need it anymore. ms.Shaw set one up, and she wants us to use that

berrysweetπ said...

Nick, you don't actually say what the thing is.

Han said...

That's really good Nick I mean it it's great

Is to kill that ________.

Oops! I almost forgot! Welcome Carter and Arielle!

Why you should be happy to be in Mr.Buxton's class!!

1) He teaches everything in an creative, exciting way.
2) Our writing and vocabulary improves drastically (a lot)
3) He improves our knowledge on technology

What you can do at recess in SAS:

1) If you like playing soccer you can check out the soccer field and football field next to the PS Cafeteria
2) Near the IS Office there you can play Table Tennis, Foosball, or Air Hockey.
3) Opposite the Soccer Field is the Flying Fox Playground and near the IS Office is also the Swing Playground.

Mosquitoes

By Nakul Sharma

Blood-sucker
Scratch maker
Family hater
Flying creeper
Silent scarer
Death-eater
Makes you swat
or you’re caught
If you run
Then you’re done
Because it’ll give you
A bump and a boo boo
You scream “Stay away!!”
But it’ll make his way
The only thing you can do
is kill that pest who flew

Caroline said...

I'm guessing it's a book or maybe a library. If I'm right you're poem is descriptive. I can see the good word choice so that's good

berrysweetπ said...

Thank you! And it is a book

okay good I gave book 80% chance and library 19% chance. Bookstore got 1% chance
